In this episode, we're getting real about something that so many blended family parents struggle with: permissive parenting driven by guilt, fear, or insecurity.

Kim opens up about her personal journey as a single mom, how her guilt and fear led her to parent from a place of pity, and how that impacted her daughter, Annika.

We’re also diving into the difference between pity and empathy and how embracing authoritative parenting—rooted in love and limits—can shift everything for your family.

Whether you're a parent stuck in emotional reactivity or a stepparent struggling to support your spouse, this episode is packed with encouragement, practical insight, and next steps to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

You'll Discover:

  • The surprising ways guilt, fear, and insecurity can lead to permissive parenting and the negative impact on kids
  • How pity and empathy differ and why it matters for your child’s development
  • What authoritative parenting looks like and why it's the most healthy and effective style
  • Real-life examples of how blended family dynamics impact parenting decisions and often create stress
  • How to begin shifting your mindset and reclaiming your parental authority so that you can be the kind of leader your kids really need
