FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla., Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leaders in co-parent and stepfamily support, TalkingParents and Stepfamily Solutions, are partnering to co-host a free Co-Parenting & Coffee webinar this December. From Conflict to Connection: Navigating Stepfamily Dynamics will be a live interactive panel and Q&A with leading stepfamily experts Cameron Normand, JD, Dr. Todd Jensen, and Alex Harrison, LCSW.
Normand, Jensen, and Harrison bring extensive experience and national recognition to the discussion on building stronger, more connected stepfamilies. Their work has positively impacted thousands of families and has been featured by leading media outlets, including Newsweek, Business Insider, The Atlantic, and The New York Times, among others.
“Thriving in step-family life isn’t about erasing the past — it’s about building a new story together, rooted in communication, respect, and shared purpose.”
— Cameron Normand, CEO of Stepfamily Solutions
Together, they’ll examine the real challenges that shape life in a blended family and how they affect parents, stepparents, and children who are caught in the middle. Attendees can also expect discussions focused on practical strategies for managing emotional ups and downs, overcoming co-parenting obstacles, and building trust and connection across all relationships.
Additionally, the webinar will offer insights into:
- What kids wish their parents and stepparents knew (but rarely say)
- How biological and stepparent roles really evolve over time (and why it’s not what you see on TV)
- Tools to improve communication between households (even if you’re on rocky ground)
- Setting boundaries that stick (without alienating anyone)
