Lanee shares her own blended-family experience: her parents divorced when she was four, both remarried within a year, and all four parents worked cooperatively, including managing long-distance visits and holiday travel. She describes gaining multiple step- and half-siblings, often taking on caregiving responsibilities, and how her upbringing shaped her parenting and nearly 30-year marriage. Lanee emphasizes that time, forgiveness, and consistent age-appropriate conversations with children can reduce stress and help families “blend it for the best,” even through moves, loss, and change.</p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>Lanée Blaise</strong></p><p><strong>Email: &nbsp; </strong><a href=\"mailto:BlaiseTV@icloud.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BlaiseTV@icloud.com&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong></a></p><p><strong>Instagram:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong><a href=\"http://instagram.com/blaisetalks/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>IG/blaisetalks</strong></a></p><p><strong>Linkedin: &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/laneeblaise/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>IN/laneeblaise&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong></a></p><p><strong>Podcast:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong><a href=\"https://www.imagineyourselfpodcast.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>www.imagineyourselfpodcast.com/</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><u>Robin Breuner&nbsp;</u></strong></p><p><strong>Email:&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>robinbreuner@gmail.com</u></strong></p><p><strong>Website:&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong><a href=\"http://www.robinbreuner.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>www.robinbreuner.com</strong></a></p><p><strong>Instagram:</strong><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/stepstoriespodcast/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong> stepstories</strong></a><strong><u>podcastIG</u></strong></p><p><strong>Facebook: </strong><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582689185910\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>stepstoriespodcastFB</strong></a></p><p><strong>Linkedin:&nbsp;</strong><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/robin-breuner-23a84134/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>&nbsp;RobinBreunerLinkIN</strong></a></p><p><strong>Podcast:&nbsp;</strong><a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stepstories-podcast/id1846685487\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>&nbsp;StepStories Podcast</strong></a></p><p><strong>Threads:</strong><a href=\"https://www.threads.com/@robinbreuner?xmt=AQF0GOVjXGjpQJa7Aphz1ZVD0-WwsL41APbphovVTHeblsU\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;@robinbreuner</strong></a></p><p><strong>YouTube</strong><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@StepStoriesPodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>: StepStories Podcast YouTube</strong></a></p>","author_name":"Robin Breuner "}
