Episode 7: Starting Over

Host and mother Judith Mackin and her teenage son start their lives over in a new house with Judith’s new partner. They hope to avoid the problems that broke up their last blended family but they are well aware that the new arrangement comes with no guarantees. Listeners also meet Shaun, a teenager who reinvents himself in the image of a musical icon. Ultimately, he finds his strategy for popularity and success is flawed … and nearly fatally flawed, at that. Starting over comes with a price.
