Description
Heather Taylor is the creator of Heather’s Detours, a new and up and coming podcast about many topics ranging from family life, divorce, dating post-divorce, and general mother lifestyle tips. Heather Taylor was a single, divorced mother of 4, until she then re-married, adding her partner’s two children into their family also. With her experience of being a single mother, and then blending two families and making this work, Heather is the perfect host for producing tips and resources on lifestyle, divorce, and re-marriage. Offering real, practical advice and empowerment to other single mothers out there, Heather Taylor does not claim to be perfect or have all the answers. Instead, she sheds light on her own personal experiences, and what she has done to move forward. Heather notes that through her own experiences she has learned that ‘sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn’t mean to take.’ With this enlighted philosophy, coupled with a Christian faith mentality, Heather can help empower you to take the next steps forward in life after any hardship, whether that is divorce or any kind of traumatic experience.

After my divorce one of the first things I wanted to do was to take new family pictures. The family I thought I had was no longer and I wanted me and my children to see and feel our new family unit. It was with a lot of mixed emotions I got these pictures taken and hung on the wall. I than stored away old family pictures and scrapbooks for my kids to one day go through and decide what they wanted to do with them. Even though our original family was no more it was still part of there legacy. To this day its all in a box when they are ready to go through it. I also wanted to create new photo albums. I wish Memory My Way was created back than, Today I talk with the owner of Memory My Way. We talk about the cloud and saving photos and so much more. Do you print photos anymore?

Responsibilities can set the tone for the home and its so important to make sure we are all on board. Our mind is a powerful tool when blending families or with any new relationship. The life you once had is forever changed and you feel over burdened. I remember being a new single mom and I had a lot of responsibilities and even more was added to my plate. Many times it was overwhelming and I felt like I was drowning. Todays episode we talk with, "The Transformed Couple" we talk about responsibilities and get a female and male perspective. They are an amazing couple ( from Canada) and I think you will enjoy this episode. Now lets listen to this podcastlove,HeatherSupport the show
