In this episode, I sit down with a very special guest—my mum. As a grandmother in a blended family and a doctor, she brings unique personal and professional insights to the complexities of family dynamics.

We explore her approach to being a grandparent in a blended family, from making each grandchild feel special during holidays to staying connected through technology when distance is a factor. My mum shares her thoughts on creating a warm, inclusive environment and the importance of building individual bonds with each grandchild.

She also reflects on the challenges of her role, highlighting the need to provide support without overstepping boundaries and the value of being a safe, supportive figure for grandchildren navigating family transitions.
