Season 2 Ep.7- “Healing Out Loud” La Vida Blended with Mila & Donnell

Season 2 Ep.7- “Healing Out Loud” La Vida Blended with Mila & Donnell

In this episode of Couples Unfiltered, we sit down with Mila and Donnell—hosts of La Vida Blended—a beautifully honest and culturally rich podcast about love, parenting, and the realities of building a blended family. Based in Portland, Oregon, this mixed-race couple (she's Mexican, he's Black) opens up about navigating identity, second marriages, and the deep emotional terrain of pregnancy loss, having endured the heartbreak of nine miscarriages together.

Both social workers by profession, Mila and Donnell bring an unmatched level of emotional intelligence and cultural insight to the conversation. They share how their backgrounds influence their parenting, how they maintain a loving co-parenting relationship with Donnell’s ex-wife, and what it really means to create a home full of healing, communication, and respect.

From cultural expectations to grief, from honoring ex-spouses to redefining what “family” looks like—this is an episode that doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff. Their transparency is a gift, and their story will inspire anyone navigating love after loss or learning to embrace the beautiful complexity of blended families.
