Episode 48: Navigating Blended Families in Transition!
by Elaine Froese | July 8, 2025 | Farm Family Harmony Podcast
In this episode, I talk with Farm Management Specialist, David Marrison, about the challenges blended farm families face during succession and estate transitions. We explore how honest communication, early planning, and choosing to overcome family dysfunction can shape a healthier legacy.
David shares personal stories and lessons learned navigating complex family dynamics, while I highlight practical tips and resources for farm families ready to have the tough conversations before crisis hits.
If you’re involved in farm succession or blended family transitions, this episode offers valuable insights to help you move forward with clarity and compassion.
“You, as a generation, can choose to shut down the dysfunctionality. You can choose to overcome dysfunctionality that might have occurred in the generation before you. You have that choice now.” -David Marrison
