A free online gathering for parents, stepparents & professionals
6–7 March 2026
The Blended Families Summit is a two-day online event created by Melanie Enders to support the tender, complex and deeply human world of blended family life.
Across relaxed pre-recorded speaker conversations and a live VIP panel, we’ll explore the emotional landscapes, systemic dynamics and everyday realities that shape blended families:
➤ loyalty binds
➤ co-parenting across households
➤ step-parent roles
➤ the child’s nervous system
➤ former partners and family history
➤ belonging, boundaries and deeper emotional patterns
This isn’t a typical conference.
It’s a circle of wisdom — a place where real stories, practical tools and systemic understanding meet heart and humanity. A space where you can feel seen, supported and accompanied, whether you're a parent, stepparent, professional, or someone walking this path personally.
This space is created for:
• parents and stepparents
• professionals working with families (therapists, educators, mediators, coaches, social workers, support workers)
• people navigating multiple households
• anyone wanting more insight, compassion and clarity in their blended family relationships
Whether you’re newly navigating blending or many years in, this summit is here to offer grounding, understanding and nourishment.
Be the first to receive the schedule, speaker lineup and access links.
Mel is welcoming therapists, educators, mediators, practitioners and people with lived experience who support blended families.
All interviews will be pre-recorded, relaxed and conversational.

I respectfully acknowledge the people of the Yugambeh language region, the traditional owners of the land on which we meet, I live and work on.
I pay my respect to their elders past and present, and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples here today.
Always was, is and will be Aboriginal land.
