Radical Stepmoms is a podcast about the good, bad and really ugly moments about raising a child that you didn’t create. Here I’ll discuss the realities of co-parenting, the ways stepmother hood affects a marriage, the relationship with our step kids and most of all... navigating the relationship with ourselves. I want each episode to leave you feeling validated, empowered and oh-so radical, so pour yourself a la croix, a glass of red...or whatever, and listen in on Radical Stepmoms.
This stepmom life is not for the faint of heart, and if I have realized anything it's that we need each other to lean on and learn from- so I decided to create a safe space where we can talk about blended families, thriving in marriage, stepkid struggles, adding in an “ours” baby and this thing I call “Co-parenting-ish”. I am a certified Stepparent Coach and my goal is for every stepmom is to find her voice, find her place, and find the peace and satisfaction she deserves.
The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast, hosted by Jamie Scrimgeour, is a raw and real conversation about all the things motherhood, step-motherhood and living a KICK-ASS Life. When Jamie couldn't find the stepmom support and conversations shew as looking for, she decided to create her own. Each week, Jamie Scrimgeour brings you real life conversations about blended family, relationships, personal development and more. With tips, strategies, mindset shifts and KICK-ASS Guests, Jamie’s goal is to inspir ...

A podcast dedicated to the dynamic community of women who are navigating the realm of stepparenting.

Each week that the podcast airs there will be a topic or question posted days prior on The Pondering Nook’s Facebook and Instagram page. I’ll discuss the topic on the show and read the responses (many will be anonymous!) Most episodes are 30 min or und ...
I’m a Stepmom discussing issues that I’m facing with my stepson’s mother. She rather party, hangout with friends, travel out of the country without her child, then spend time with her son.
