Host Robin Brunner welcomes Step Stories guest Amy Evans, a wife, mother, stepmother, and cancer survivor from Peachtree City, Georgia, to share lessons from building a blended family of four kids (Carson, Jack, Lydia, and Gage) and navigating years marked by serious illness. Amy describes easing the kids into the relationship through “play date” introductions, aligning parenting styles, and thoughtfully blending traditions like Christmas and family ornaments. She recounts the family supporting the children through their stepfather’s stage four colon cancer and death, her own 2015 triple negative breast cancer treatment, and later her father-in-law’s multiple myeloma while living with them. Amy also shares the 2020 loss of Gage’s father to aggressive cancer, emphasizing resilience, open communication, and how strong co-parenting helped. She updates listeners on the kids’ adult lives and reflects on what she’d do differently.
