  • I found some old videos from a challenge I did with a group of ladies in 2020 about taking our thoughts captive. This concept changed my life. The information is so valuable, that I wanted to share it with you. It’s set up as a 5-day challenge so feel free to listen to it day-by-day or all at once. The key is putting these things to use.

    Day 1: Take Your Thoughts Captive Challenge

    Let's get started with Day 1. Some of these things may take you out of your comfort zone or seem insignificant, trust me, do them anyway. If you are ready for a change, it's time to do something different. If you missed last night's email, go back and read it and watch that video before this one. It lays the groundwork for today. If it takes you longer to complete, take your time and work at your own pace.

    1. Find 10-20 minutes to brain dump.

    2. Spend 20-30 minutes quietly listening to God's direction.

    3. Journal any thoughts from your quiet time.

    Day 2: Learn to sit and listen.

    1. Find a place in your house that is quiet and where you will have privacy.

    2. Sit and listen to the meditation video. Do your very best to follow the breaths and clear your mind. But if you find your mind wandering, mentally take note of what your thoughts are focusing on.

    3. Journal your experience, good and bad. Things you noticed.

    4. Pay attention to what you listen to today and how much time you spend filling your head with this stuff (Music, TV, Social media, other people) Write it down when you can.

    Day 3: Discover your weaknesses. Own your mistakes. Recognize Triggers.

    1. Write down areas of your life you feel like a failure.

    2. Ask God to show you where you have made mistakes so that you can take ownership of them. Ask God to show you why you feel this way and what triggers you.

    3. I want to introduce you to my favorite meditation podcast, it combines meditation, scripture, and prayer. You can find it on your podcast app under Cultivate Connections or use this link,

    4. Take a mental note of anything that comes to mind.

    5. Journal your experience, good and bad. Did God reveal anything to you?

    Have you noticed what your triggers are?

    6. Look at your list and ask yourself why you think you feel like a failure in these areas. This won't be solved in a day, but keep asking.

    Day 4: Find truth. Stop taking yourself so seriously. Have Fun!

    1. Write down areas in which you feel like you have succeeded.

    2. Find a quiet place in your house where you will have privacy. Do the first 14ish minutes of "Recognize" Yoga with Adriene. Then pause and be quiet. (If you prefer Cultivate Connection, do that)

    3. Journal your experience. Did God reveal anything new today?

    4. Take at least 15 minutes to replace some of the negative thoughts you have with truth from scripture. Place these truths where you can see them.

    5. Today might seem like a silly exercise, but I think it is very important. Find time to have fun today. Make time to laugh with your family. Do something silly with them. Turn on music and dance around the house. Go outside and play tag or hide-n-seek.

    6. When you make a mistake today, laugh at yourself, and move on.

    Day 5: Recognize that this is not an emergency. Take it to God.

    Discover your "Go-To" activity.

    1. Continue the meditation practice, either the yoga video or Cultivate Connection meditation.

    2. Journal your experience.

    3. Practice gratitude. Name 1 thing from the day before that brought you joy. Write it down or say it out loud.

    4. Learn to ask yourself "Is this an emergency?" Even when it feels like it is, it usually isn't. We can't practice this until a situation arises. Watch today's video so I can explain it better.

    5. Today we find a new positive activity that you can turn to instead of reacting the same way you always have. You should have filled out your favorite activity in the survey before we started. How can you turn that into your new coping skill?

    Take Your Thoughts Captive Recap

    I know 5 days doesn't seem long enough to break a cycle you've been trapped in for a long time, but with God anything is possible. For me, it took a whole Summer to break this down. If during this process you find some issues go deeper than what you can handle on your own, I recommend finding a licensed therapist. There is no shame in talking to a professional and allowing their unbiased opinion to guide you in helping you heal.

    Thank you for sticking with me over the last 5 Days. Check out this recap and let me know if this Take Your Thoughts Captive Challenge benefited you in any way by emailing me and letting me know. Love you! Scarlett Tandy

  • I have been getting messages lately from stepmoms asking how they can better support their stepdaughter during different seasons of life. Ironically Ryleigh (my stepdaughter) wrote a song about our stepmother/stepdaughter journey. I immediately asked her if we could discuss it on a podcast and if she would sing the song for you.

    In this episode we discuss her feelings when her dad told her he was going to ask me to marry him, the dark season of her teen years, and our reconciliation period. She also shared what she wished we would have done differently.

  • My stepdaughter has been in my life for 16 years. In the very beginning, our relationship was sweet. Then she quickly realized she wanted a life with just her and her dad and that didn't involve me. I tried my best to be who and what I thought she needed but it wasn't ever enough. It actually had the opposite effect.

    Today our relationship is great. It didn't happen by chance though. I had to be willing to grow and she had to come to her own realization.

    In this podcast, we will discuss how it makes the child feel when your parents talk crap about each other to you.

  • 222: What to Expect When You Weren’t Expecting With Jyl Barlow

    One of my least favorite stepfamily comments is, “Well you knew what you were signing up for.” That’s like telling a new mom or dad, well you knew parenting was going to be hard so I don’t want to hear you complain about it.

    In both situations, you do not know what to expect until you are living it out in real-time. Mostly because every situation is so unique just like every child is unique.

    Now of course there are some common situations most stepfamilies face and this episode is full of them. I talked to Jyl Barlow from “What to Expect When You Weren’t Expecting”. We discussed unrealistic expectations, chores, unsupportive grandparents, enjoying your time when your kids are gone, and the moments that make it all worth it.

    In the episode, we discussed Jyl’s family's favorite activity and she mentioned, Universal Yums. Click the link to check it out with your family.

    I also mentioned conversation cards from Make It a Date, grab them here.

  • If you are anything like me, and a lot of you are, I struggle to find rest. I get passionate about my work, I love to serve others, and then of course family things. Between all of that, I become overwhelmed and exhausted. Did you know that God commands us to rest? This is something many people in our culture now stopped practicing.

    I loved Jen’s perspective on this and wanted to earn more. Check out this episode if you could use some rest in your stepfamily.

  • In today’s episode, we discuss a topic that most stepfamilies have not experienced, but I know several of you who are and I wanted to pull back the curtain of this forbidden topic and bring you and your family some hope. I brought in the co-host of the Husband-in-Law Podcast, Jessica Frew to talk about her blended family story and how she and her family learned to enjoy their blended family after her 1st husband came out of the closet. Listen to discover what she said is harder than finding out your husband is homosexual.

  • Teaching our kids emotional intelligence will benefit them for the rest of their lives in all their relationships.

    I love finding and sharing tools that will help your stepfamily blend smoothly.

    In this episode, I talked with Fiona Kong about this simple tool she used to help her young son express his feelings each day while living in 2 homes!

    This simple little $2 planner from the dollar store gave her, her co-parent, and her son the ability to openly communicate between houses!

    She has gone on to make it into a resource to help other families do the same!

    My prayer is that each one of you would grab a copy for each of your kids or take a moment to make your own.

  • Lately, we have had lots of people join our B. Fam community who are walking through the same storm we went through. Each of our kids went to live with their other parents when they became teens against our better judgment.

    This was a heartbreaking and devastating season for our family. As hard as it was though it taught us all a lot about ourselves and our family.

    In this episode, I share my story about the season my biological kids went to live with their dad, what I did while they were gone, and how we reconnected.

    This episode is part 2, if you missed episode 215, give it a listen, because it explains why I let them leave and what not to do when your kids want to live with their other parent.

    If you're tired of waiting for your "STEP" family to "BLEND" try this…
