Blended, Blessed & Always A Mess

Latest Episodes:

The Beach And A Bat? Oct 29, 2023

Show notes

This week we discuss some of our healthy and unhealthy ways we have processed the incredible grief. When this episode drops it will be 11 months since we said goodbye to Hallie. But she's not really gone from our life, she continues to show us her crossing over powers. Her signs could be as simple as connecting us to people that share our same pain or as complicated as having to chase a bat with a swifter. (Yeah, reread that if you need to).
Thanks for listening,
Love, Aric & Angie

The 2nd Worst Traumatic Day Oct 22, 2023

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

The "experience" we share in this episode changed us...for good and bad reasons. It has shown us what this crazy and sometimes VERY scary world has to offer but also just how AMAZING PEOPLE can be. There is HOPE.
Our goal in sharing this story is to help raise awareness and prevent this from happening to you or your family!
Thanks for listening! Love, Aric & Angie

Modern Husbands with Brian Page Oct 15, 2023

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

In this episode, we visit with the founder of Modern Husbands Brian Page about the dreaded word "Budgets" and how married couples make this work! It's even more complex in blended families. WOOF.
We also dive into what exactly IS a modern husband? I think we can all agree men need to show up differently for their wives in this day and age! It's not the 50's and 60's anymore.😜
Thanks for listening and enjoy! Love,
Aric & Angie

Collateral Loss Sep 24, 2023

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

A few episodes ago, Aric recorded a solo podcast sharing the struggles he is working through. It was sweet and vulnerable. Now, it's only fitting that Angie records her own podcast. And as fate would have it, it will be released on her birthday.
It's raw and real. It's all the pain rolled up into the collateral loss we face when losing a child.
Thanks for your support and listening,
Love,
Aric & Angie

Signs of Love: Part 2 “Are You With Me?” Sep 17, 2023

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

In this week's episode we share more signs of love from Hallie letting us know she is with us. We are keeping Hal busy as we continue to pray for her and God to watch over us and protect us. And that is not a small ask especially lately (hu-um, Carter).
Also, tune in this week to find out how the question “Are you with me?” was asked of Angie.
Thanks for listening!
Love, Aric & Angie

Signs of Love - Part 1 Sep 10, 2023

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

As Angie continues reading a new book about signs...it's helping both of us “FEEL" Hallie's presence more than ever 🙌
So we thought we would share some of the different signs that Hallie has been giving us recently. If you are missing a loved one maybe this will give you some ideas to feel closer to them!
Angie shares at the end of the episode a message she received from a close friend. One of our favorite signs to date! It’s the moral of the story 👼!
Thanks for listening!
Love,
Aric & Angie

I'm Holding On Too Tight... Sep 03, 2023

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

From Aric:
It's been brought to my attention by Angie and my boss that I'm holding on too tight...You know when you hold an egg too tight you break it? Or squeeze a baby bird too tight you hurt it?
That's what is happening with me right now. My insides are SUPER off and it's causing extreme anxiousness and I'm holding on too tight in everything I do to avoid more loss (which inadvertently leads to more loss usually).
So with Angie out of town with Sommer at soccer, I recorded an episode SOLO to share where I'm at...
Hope you enjoy. Thanks for listening!
Love,
Aric and Angie
