This week, Spencer & Rory are diving into one of the most requested topics yet, co-parenting and step-parenting, and who better to join them than the one and only Flav Bateman! 🙌
Flav gets real about his journey as a step-dad, how the role has shaped him as a person, and the challenges (and wins!) that come with it. He opens up about navigating tricky conversations with the kids as they head into the teen years, whether girls are really easier than boys 👀, and if he’s ever thought about having kids of his own.
