In this powerful and heart-opening episode, Katie talks to Parm (@mrssinghspirational) about her extraordinary journey from being a married mum of three, to a divorced mum of three, to becoming a stepmum to three children who had recently lost their mother.
Parm shares how quickly their blended family bonded, how deeply she cares for her stepchildren, and how she approached joining a family in the midst of grief with compassion, respect and intention.
But alongside the joy, Parm also opens up about the painful moment when her own biological daughter struggled with the changes and ultimately decided to move in with her dad. While Parm supported her daughter’s choice wholeheartedly, she speaks honestly about the heartbreak and feelings of rejection she experienced.
Together, Katie and Parm explore:
- what it’s like to marry a widower and honour the memory of a child’s late mum
- blending two sets of children who are all coping with big emotions
- supporting a child who chooses a different home
- grief, loyalty, identity and love inside a large stepfamily
- Parm’s commitment to keeping her stepkids’ mum present in their lives — without feeling overshadowed
- how she navigated her own emotions while holding space for everyone else
This is a beautiful, uplifting, deeply human conversation about love after loss, blended-family bonding, and what it truly means to show up for children — yours and someone else’s.
