Blend Don’t Break – Creating Your Families Secret Sauce

Blend Don’t Break isn’t just a book about blended families—it’s a mirror for any leader brave enough to look inward. What began as a story about step-parenting and second chances turned into something far more universal: a powerful journey of healing, humility, and rebuilding. Through raw transparency, Chad M. Brignac invites readers into the real work of breaking personal vows, restoring identity, and learning to lead with compassion—at home, in the workplace, and within.

Offering the reader a reminder that true leadership begins where performance ends. The healthiest leaders are the ones living whole—without walls, without masks, and without striving. This book will challenge you to reexamine your own emotional and spiritual alignment, revealing how personal restoration unlocks relational influence. When we choose vulnerability over image and presence over position, we discover the kind of inner peace that fuels meaningful success—in our families, our faith, and our work.
