Gil is a licensed counselor, husband, dad, stepdad, and grandpa. Brenda is a certified life coach, wife, mom, stepmom, and grandma. Together, they bring both professional experience and plenty of real-life experience to conversations about marriage, parenting, blended families, communication, and emotional health.
Together, they have 7 children between them, and their story is such a beautiful reminder that blending a family isn’t about creating perfection it’s about creating connection, building trust, and growing stronger together.
In this episode, we talk about:
✨ The joys and challenges of raising a blended family
✨ What it really takes to build strong relationships
✨ Practical tools for helping families connect
✨ How their own experiences shaped the work they do today
✨ Their incredible book, Lily Pads
Lily Pads was created from real-life experience and practical tools inspired by Restoration Therapy. Written so that even children 10 and under can understand, it’s designed to spark meaningful conversations and help families connect—not simply manage behavior. The pages in the back of the book give extra resources for parents, teachers and counselors to better understand restoration therapy and how it applies to the story.
