Not every family unit looks the same and as blended families become more and more prevalent, being able to navigate healthy relationships as partners in parenting can mean all the difference for the children in the middle. Join me as I talk with Umeko Smith, self-defense expert and entrepreneur as she shares how she has (and still is) purposefully curating healthy parental relationships so that her blended family can live in peace and thrive. Umeko is the owner of Juss Defense, as a certified self-defense instructor whose purpose is for women to feel empowered and prepared. You can check out her website here and on Instagram and Facebook for what she calls "common sense self defense & endangerment prevention skills."
