💫 Episode Description:
In this week’s episode of The CoCo Blend, Jamie Newton-Knight dives into two of the most sensitive and often overlooked co-parenting challenges — religion and parentage. She refers to an episode of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta involving Bambi, Scrappy and Momma Dee regarding religion and Lil Zane, his wife Ashley and his mom & dad regarding who is biological father is.
What happens when two parents come from different religious backgrounds and can’t agree on what to teach their child? And what about the truths we keep — the ones that can shape or shake a child’s identity, like hidden parentage or family secrets?
Jamie opens up the conversation about how to make decisions that center your child’s peace, not parental pride, and why honesty — even when it’s uncomfortable — is one of the deepest forms of love.
You’ll walk away with practical tools, heartfelt insight, and a prayer to anchor your week in grace and truth.
