  • Blended Families, Busy Mom Life & Starting a Podcast | Real Talk with Candace & Monica

    Blended Families, Busy Mom Life & Starting a Podcast | Real Talk with Candace & Monica
    Feb 25 2026
    This week on the FTK Moms Podcast, we’re joined by two powerhouse moms — Candace and Monica — who are navigating blended families, nonstop schedules, and the bold step of launching their own podcast.

    From juggling kids, co-parenting dynamics, and packed calendars to building something creative of their own, Candace and Monica get real about what modern motherhood actually looks like.

    We talk about:
    • Navigating life in a blended family

    • Managing the chaos of always being busy

    • Balancing marriage, motherhood, and personal goals

    • Stepping out in faith to start a new podcast

    • Giving yourself permission to build something beyond just “mom”

    This episode is for every mom who feels stretched thin but still has dreams on her heart. It’s honest, encouraging, and a reminder that you don’t have to choose between being present for your family and pursuing what lights you up.

    Because motherhood isn’t one-size-fits-all — especially in blended families — and sometimes the busiest seasons are the ones building the strongest foundations.

    • Christmas travel and family resets

    • Returning to “real life” after slowing down

    • Processing a school walkout as parents

    • Letting go of perfection and embracing imperfect motherhood

    ✨ In This Episode, We Talk About:
    • What being a girl dad really looks like today

    • How men “guess” at motherhood and what they learned from listening

    • Building emotionally healthy father–daughter bonds

    • Not passing generational trauma to your kids

    • Parenting as a team, even when you disagree behind the scenes

    • Why dads need safe spaces to talk about parenting too

    • The importance of communication, patience, and presence
