To show posts inside a page with your own content around them, use the Post Loop widget in Page Builder by SiteOrigin. In a block theme, use the core Query Loop block. A page set as the Posts page: in SettingsReading acts as the blog home. Its own content is not shown.

- Click Add Widget and search for Post Loop.
