Where my dad's at? In this episode of Co-Parenting with Grace, I sit down with my friend Chad Mitchell, a dad who knows what it’s like to wear both hats—bio dad and stepdad. Chad has been an insurance agent for 15 years, a dad for 23 years, and a stepdad for nearly 15. When he and his wife Cari blended their families, their children were the same age and even went to the same school—a unique start to a journey filled with both challenges and blessings.
Chad grew up in a traditional nuclear family, and he shares how that foundation shaped his approach to fatherhood while also learning to adapt to the realities of a blended family. With faith, positivity, and a lot of heart, he reminds us that being a parent—step or bio—isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence.
If you’ve ever wondered how to balance the roles of step-parenting and parenting, or if you need encouragement to keep showing up in your blended family, this conversation is for you.
