I Had Two Kids And Two Divorces... He Still Chose Me_ Ep. 30
What happens when the person you prayed for doesn't look anything like the person God sends?
In this heartfelt episode of My Dope Blend, Gray and Leslie sit down with Stacy and Joaquin Loper to unpack a remarkable love story built on faith, healing, and choosing purpose over preference.
Fresh out of a second divorce with two children, Stacy wasn't looking for another relationship. Joaquin was young, single, and had every reason to walk away. Instead, he chose to stay.
Together they discuss dating after divorce, marrying into a blended family, letting go of unrealistic expectations, creating healthy marriages, and discovering that the qualities we think we're looking for often pale in comparison to the character we actually need.
This episode is a reminder that healing doesn't disqualify you from love. Sometimes it prepares you for it.

The BIGGEST mistakes married couples make- Ep. 29
What happens when everyone in the family gets support except the people carrying the heaviest burden?
In this vulnerable episode of My Dope Blend, Gray and Leslie discuss therapy, divorce recovery, anxiety, parenting, and the realities of raising children in a blended family.
From helping children process separation and change to recognizing anxiety in their own son, this conversation explores the importance of emotional health for both parents and children.
Along the way, Gray reflects on why he recommended therapy for his children but never pursued it for himself, while Leslie shares a powerful story involving their son that changed how she views emotional support within a blended family.
This is an honest conversation about healing, accountability, parenting, and why therapy may be one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and the people we love.

Accountability Isn't Shame. It's Freedom._ Ep. 28
Leslie Kirkland had a secret she had never told her husband, and it started with their eight-year-old son.
In this episode of My Dope Blend, Leslie and Greg Kirkland sit in something most couples avoid out loud: the man who counsels everyone, who friends and family lean on like a therapist, has never once been to therapy himself. What starts as playful pressure turns into an honest family reckoning about who actually does the work of healing in a blended home, and who just keeps holding everyone else up.
You will hear how a child quietly reads the tension in a blend long before the adults notice, and the exact moment Carter said something that made Leslie realize he understood far more than they thought. You will leave with a real, usable framework for vetting a therapist for your child, the same step-by-step process they are working through now.
This one matters if you are the strong one. The bonus mom. The bio dad. The friend everyone calls. The person who teaches the breathing exercises but never books the appointment. Because the weight you carry for everyone else is heavier than you let on, and accountability, as they put it, is not shame. It is freedom
Healing yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can give your blend.
