This episode is the FIRST OF ITS KIND! I interviewed a divorced couple, now remarried to others, along with their daughter. Julianna Smeltzer is the daughter, and I met her in college. I was always fascinated by the way she talked about her family. She would say, "My Moms and Dads are coming to watch me perform!" I thought to myself... what? Their blended family seemed too healthy to be real! I couldn't believe it. Listen in and hear how this couple, Geoff Comstock and Dana Comstock-Benzick, decided to choose what was best for their kids and their relationship post-divorce.

Topics we discuss:

How they decided to have a close co-parenting relationship

Advice they have for parents trying to co-parent well

Julianna gives input on what the experience was like growing up with stepparents and parents all supporting her
