Blended, Blessed & Always A Mess

Latest Episodes:

The Sun Will Always Rise Jan 06, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to Season 3 of our podcast! It's a new year, new season and a new chapter for all of us! Some things will never change such as always saying Hallie's name and HONORING her. Last season our focus was on grief and healing. While that will always be a part of our lives, this new season we are FOCUSED on growth. Growing our faith, who we are as humans, and growing out of our comfort zones. We hope you join us for this new season!
Speaking of comfort zones, we asked Angie's parents to join our podcast this week. We took them along with us on our family trip to Hallie's House after Christmas. They reveal what it's been like for them to lose a granddaughter and watch their own daughter grieve so heavily the loss of her first born...
We hope you love this episode as much as we loved recording it!
Thanks for listening,
Love,
Aric & Angie

We would love to hear from you!!!

We all made it through another Christmas without Hallie. More importantly, Angie survived her second Christmas without Hallie 💔
In this episode, we dive into some new traditions we came up with along with a few old ones.
Hallie continues to show up with her number games… like the 8 of Hearts. There’s also some interesting numbers connected to the updated court proceedings.
Thanks for listening,
Love,

Angels On Earth Dec 17, 2023

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

What an emotional episode as we were able to re-connect with Hallie's ICU nurses for the first time. Together, we chat about what it was like for Bailey and Haley to take care of Hallie and us in the hospital.
These are two very special ladies who truly are Angels on earth.
Grab some tissue for this one...you're gonna need it. 💔❤️
Thanks for listening,
Love, Aric & Angie

Walking Into the Arms of Jesus Dec 10, 2023

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

It's been a CRAZY week so we apologize for the late release of this week's episode...
We almost re-aired an episode from earlier this season because Angie and I couldn't get together to record...
However...last minute Pastor Shay Roush of the Crossing Church in Columbia, MO was able to join me to talk about Walking People Into the Arms of Jesus.
Shay walked with our family thru the worst days of our lives and walked Hallie right into Jesus arms when she passed...
I hope you find some great takeaways about finding hope in the pain and ways to help others so that we can all walk into the Arms of Jesus when this earthly life ends.
Thanks for listening!
Love, Aric & Angie

Finding Gratitude in the Pain Nov 25, 2023

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

It's Thanksgiving Week which starts our traumaversary as we approach the one year of Hallie gaining her angel wings.
Not something we were ever prepared for and still struggle to wrap our minds around that she is really gone. But one thing we have learned is that we ALL can find ways to be grateful even in the midst of the sucky times...
And the more grateful we are the more Christ-Like we are in being able to help others. Prayers to you and your family especially if this is a hard season for you, too.
Thanks for Listening,
Love, Aric & Angie

Which Wolf Are You Feeding? Nov 19, 2023

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

This past week has been a world wind of emotions...SO many of you have bought "Feathers Matter" and sent videos reading to your kids and grandkids. Unbelievable and breathtaking moments and it's so much to process because we wouldn't have gotten to this point had we not lost Hallie. The Painful Journey to Finding Purpose. Many of us are on this journey and it is HARD.
While it may feel like I have found my purpose, Aric has been struggling a LOT the last few months. We continue to open up and share the rawness of finding your NEW self after pain, trauma and loss. We dive into that because it MATTERS which Wolf we feed!
We hope you enjoy this week's episode!

Parenting at Its Finest Nov 05, 2023

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

The original intent of our podcast was focused around challenges of parenting in a blended family. And while the last year has brought about significant grief in our home that doesn't mean we get to stop parenting. We wish it did because it would be a hell of a lot easier.
Over the last month we've had SEVERAL parenting challenges or "opportunities". It can be complicated for parents to agree on the best way to handle. Our ideas sometimes are extremely different as you will hear on this episode.
You might even be able to help us with some consequences! Share your feedback on our social channels!
Thanks for listening!
Love, Aric & Angie
