The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast

This week's episode is for every stepmom who has ever felt something and immediately felt guilty for feeling it. Jen from The Sober Stepmom joins me this week and we go there. Jealousy, grief, nervous system overload, the control trap. All of it. This is the conversation I wished I'd had years ago. Here's what we cover, but honestly, just go listen. This one got personal fast. In this week's episode, Jen and I discuss: How becoming a stepmom inspired Jen's journey with sobriety The emotions that catch stepmoms completely off guard and why feeling them doesn't make you a bad person Jealousy in the stepmom role, what it actually is and why so many stepmoms carry shame around it The nervous system science behind why stepmoms feel so on edge, especially around transition days Grief that stepmoms never name and how it shows up sideways when you least expect it The unique experience of the childless stepmom, including Jen's raw and honest take on navigating infertility while stepparenting Why trying to control everything in your blended family is quietly costing you more than you realize How to create space between the feeling and your reaction and why that gap is where your power lives Practical nervous system regulation tools you can actually use in real stepmom moments I think this one is going to stay with you.

This week on The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast, I'm keeping it casual with a real life solo Q+A that goes beyond stepmom stuff but still speaks directly to stepmoms. I asked you on Instagram for non-stepmom questions, and you delivered. We're talking about marriage, parenting a tween, simplifying your style, confidence, fear, self-esteem, and the one thing I'm truly at peace with going into 2026. This episode is for stepmoms who are doing the inner work, building confidence, and learning how to feel safe and grounded in their lives. No fixing. No advice giving. Just honest reflection on growth, relationships, and trusting yourself as you evolve. If you're a stepmom craving a slower, more real conversation that reminds you who you are outside the role, this one's for you.

It can often feel in our society, especially for stepmoms, like we have to live in our masculine energy in order to survive. Clinical psychologist Dr. Amanda Hanson wants to dispel that myth.

Boundaries are extremely important to implement and hold in your relationships, but in my years as a stepmom coaching I've come to find that many people misunderstand what boundaries are. Boundaries are not about controlling another person - they are about communicating your needs and preferences in regards to how people treat you. Good boundaries should get you closer to the dynamic you need in your relationship, not further away from it. Today, Darren and I are diving into boundaries that stepmoms have submitted. You'll hear boundary talk about: Kids in the bedroom Sending memes to the ex Constant communication with the ex Kids dropping by unannounced outside of the custody agreement Driving the step kids to bio mom's house to pick up things they forgot Sitting with the ex at events Work with Jamie: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/coaching Join Elevate: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/elevate Thanks to our sponsors: LMNT | My Go To Electrolyte Drink.

Todays guest is Dr. Gertrude Lyons. She is on a mission to rewrite the Mother Code, and help women heal their motherwound and debunk the myths of motherhood. She is a Master Life Coach and Relationship Expert with over 20 years of experience. Through her Rewriting The Mother Code initiative, which challenges the traditional notions of motherhood and womanhood she has become a national mothering revolutionary. She believes Dr. Lyon's belief, all women have a "mother code" instilled in them—the current model for mothering in our culture is broken. It is limited, constricting, and disempowering. She questions preconceived beliefs and leans into topics that will tap into the powerful femininity within all of us. In this episode we talk about the myths around motherhood, how our childhood and cultural experiences impact how we view motherhood and how moms can and should write their OWN mothercode.   Get 120 Ways To Be A KICK-ASS Stepmom: https://jamiescrimgeour.com/ebook   For more from Jamie Scrimgeour visit www.jamiescrimgeour.com Follow along on Instagram: www.instagram.com/jamiescrimgeour Follow along on Facebook: www.facebook.com/scrimgeourjamie   Book a one-on-one coaching call: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/coaching Join The Exclusive Stepmom Community: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/membership Download The Secret To Improving Your Stepfamily Life: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/freeguide     For More From Dr. Gertrude Lyons: Follow them on Instagram: www.instagram.com/drgertrudelyons Listen to her podcast: www.drgertrudelyons.com/podcast Check out her website: www.drgertrudelyons.com   Thanks to Our Sponsors:   Cozy Earth www.jamiescrimgeour.com/cozyearth JAMIES40 for 40% off

In this episode Jamie chats with Bethany Webster, author of Discovering Your Inner Mother, all about the Mother Wound. After hearing Bethany speak on another podcast, Jamie was forever changed. Discovering the Mother Wound filled in so many gaps for her about why she feels the way she does, and validated so many of her experiences with her own mom. In this episode, Bethany and Jamie dive into: What the Mother Wound is How it's a direct result of our patriarchal society How the mother gap (what you needed from your mother vs. what you got) shows up in adult relationships How the stories we tell ourselves stem from our early childhood experiences, and our relationships with our mothers How to set boundaries with your mother (if needed and desired) The shame and guilt that women often experience when their relationship with their mother isn't what they think it should be How to grieve the relationship you want, but may never have and more. Jamie also dives into some of her own personal experiences and talks about how Bethany's work has been the catalyst to so much personal growth and discovery for her.   MORE FROM BETHANY Follow Bethany on Instagram www.instagram.com/themotherwound Grab a copy of the Discovering Your Inner Mother https://amzn.to/3DqtGxq   MORE FROM JAMIE Join The Membership www.jamiescrimgeour.com/membership  Book A Coaching Call  www.jamiescrimgeour.com/coaching Download 101 Ways To Be A KICK-ASS Stepmom www.jamiescrimgeour.com/ebook   THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR: Hello Fresh http://hellofresh.ca/16fm JAMIE16 for up to 16 free meals

This is my story. Sometimes when you want to look forward, you need to look back. I know that sounds counterproductive but it's the truth. We don't realize how our past, our childhood, the messages we've received, the trauma we're experienced and the unhealed wounds that we have, impact how we perceive the world in the present time. Often, to really level up and move forward in your life, you need to heal that past trauma and tend to those past wounds . That's what this episode is all about. This week I share my thoughts on personal development and what it really takes to make the change. I talk about how my experiences in my childhood and with my parents divorce results in anxiety, anger and control issues that I didn't fully understand until the last few years. This is probably the most vulnerable I've ever gotten on the podcast. Here we go.

In this episode of The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast, Julie Cole, mom of 6, blogger and founder of Mabel's Labels talks about divorce and her decision to adopt the "nesting" co-parenting style after she and her husband decided to end their marriage. If you're not familiar, "nesting" is when two parents are no longer in a romantic relationship, but choose to co-parent their kids in the matrimonial home. Each parent attends the home during their allotted parenting time and lives somewhere else when it is not. I just love getting into a peek of the many different types of co-parenting relationships and this one was no different.    MORE FROM JULIE COLE Follow Julie on Instagram - www.instagram.com/cole.julie Head to Mabel's Labels - www.mabelslabels.ca   MORE FROM JAMIE For more from Jamie Scrimgeour visit www.jamiescrimgeour.com Follow along on Instagram: www.instagram.com/jamiescrimgeour Follow along on Facebook: www.facebook.com/scrimgeourjamie   SUPPORT FOR STEPMOMS Book a one-on-one coaching call: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/coaching Join the Exclusive Stepmom Community: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/membership Download 101 Ways To Be A KICK-ASS Stepmom  - www.jamiescrimgeour.com/ebook Free Guide: Transitioning Clothes Between Homes: https://www.thekickassstepmomproject.com/transitioning-clothes-between-moms-dads Want Change In Your Stepfamily Life?
