In this episode, the fabulous Wendy Liebman sits down with Ophira to talk about her unexpected adventure into stepparenting after falling head over heels for a man with two young boys. Wendy, who initially thought kids were about as appealing as a surprise tax audit, shares how her heart—and her whole life—flipped upside down when she met her husband. She dives into the joys, the challenges, and the occasional “What have I signed up for?!” moments of blending families. She describes heartwarming moments that solidified her bond with the kids, like when her youngest complimented her reading voice and the importance of being open and non-judgmental, especially regarding conversations around sexuality, fostering a trusting relationship with her stepsons.

Enjoy Wendy’s dry one-liners and also genuine reflections as Wendy proves that while stepping into parenthood might feel like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded, it can also lead to some of life’s sweetest moments.
