In this episode of the Blended Kingdom Families Podcast, Vanessa Martindale and Dr. Dan Ennaco explain the clear differences between coaching and therapy and why blended families often need both at different stages of their journey.

They discuss what coaching can accomplish, what therapy is required for, and why understanding the distinction is essential for couples, step-parents, and co-parents. Vanessa and Dan share real experiences from working with families who face step-parenting tension, high conflict co-parenting, trauma, anxiety, depression, and communication breakdowns.

Listeners will learn how coaching helps families create goals, build structure, strengthen communication, and form healthy boundaries, while therapy is needed for deeper emotional work such as trauma, severe anxiety, depression, past wounds and exploring mental health challenges impacting the present.

This episode clarifies how each method equips families to grow, heal, and build stronger, healthier homes with God at the center.
