I enjoyed your new format very much Christina. And thanks to your guest for sharing her part of what “doing the work” actually means. I personally am searching for actionable steps, and concrete examples of how to move forward every day, amid the chaos of high conflict, blended family life. Thank...Read full review »

I truly appreciate Christina’s mission to connect stepmoms on this journey that unites us which is not an easy one. I love her transparency into stepmothering, something not talked about enough. I grew up with a stepmom and became a stepmom myself over ten years ago and I wish I had this...Read full review »

That’s it, that’s the review.

This episode hit home so much about knowing the needs of a stepkid and being so frustrated that the parents are doing what is needed to support. I just started listening but this episode made me feel like I’m not alone!

The only regret I have is not finding this earlier in my stepmom journey. The moment I was introduced to this podcast was the moment I no longer felt alone. For years I never shared my honest thoughts with others but as soon as I found this podcast (and IG account) I knew I wasn’t the monster...Read full review »

I needed this episode today! I needed more info on older kids and how to deal with them acting like they are doing us a favor by visiting. “On their terms” This episode was triggering but in a good way! Not just with my ss but also w my own daughter. Please share more content about older kids...Read full review »

Wow my first pod cast I have felt like I’m going crazy so much affecting me and my partner relationships. Listen to this has made me see I’m not and how hard it is to be a stepmom. Iv laugh cried and taken great note . Definitely getting my partner to listen to this. Love the part where there os...Read full review »

I’ve listened to almost every episode of this Podcast, which is generally enjoyable for the camaraderie. I can appreciate that Christina has created a place where stepmoms feel validated and I feel that she’s well spoken and has a pleasant voice. BUT I think this podcast is limiting its...Read full review »

I do think this is a good resource —and it is nice to be able to relate in so many ways. I have a noticed often the host of this podcast spends some time venting about her own issues with bio mom. I think sprinkles of that here and there are fine —but the amount the host does this makes me feel...Read full review »

Endless thanks to Christina and all of her guests! There was a time — not long ago — when I felt especially alienated, nuts and, frankly, hopeless; step-momming seemed destined to be a very bleak experience. This podcast has helped immensely, offering validation, peace of mind, and a sense of...Read full review »

Episode one- when she has a bf, it cycles like clockwork. She is easier to work with, her interest in parenting goes down, and her hostility goes down. That is OUR life. Grateful for the relatability!
EleniM212 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/20/22
This podcast has been so incredibly helpful to me in my journey as a stepmom. Christina isn’t afraid to talk about the most raw, real, and taboo subjects that come with this role. Whether you are a stepmom yourself, are a partner to a stepmom, or even are a bio mom, you will benefit from...Read full review »
MandyJoRyle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/22
Christina’s podcast showcases the most relevant, real, and raw stepmom-related topics. It is a place where one can come and feel heard, seen, and validated. Thank you Christina for creating and curating this platform for us. You have created a place where us, *radical* stepmoms feel like we have...Read full review »

This podcast is by far my fave ever! Listening to it validates my experiences and makes me feel less alone in step motherhood. I’m sure this podcast was the catalysts for beginning to find my place in my step family ♥️
eruby123 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/15/22
Christina gets it! If you need support, validation, or a good laugh when it comes to step mom/blended family life then listen in. This Podcast has pulled me from the trenches!
JennySpelts via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/14/22
This podcast has been a lifeline for me! There is an episode for almost every situation. So thankful that I’m no longer “flying blind”, and I’m definitely not alone. ❤️
Erica LF via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/14/22
I was a stepmom for a number of years before I found this podcast, and it has been a total game changer for me! So real and relatable, Christina anyways has important insights, great advice, and interesting guests. It has been such a help navigating the complicated world of stepparenting, and...Read full review »
Serenela via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/22
I love that this podcast represents all kinds of stepmom perspectives - those with young and older step kids, those thriving and those struggling, and I love hearing from professionals related to the marriage and blended family related space.
emilylouise00 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/22
When I started listening to a stepmom I absolutely felt like a monster. Christina was the first one to really name what I was feeling and also just REAL about the ugly feelings. But she doesn’t let you stay there and offers helpful tools that have really helped me be a happier and healthier...Read full review »

I look forward to new episodes every week. Christina has been a life-saver for me! I joined her stepmom 2 stepmom program and met another stepmom in my area too. If you are a stepmom her podcast is a must!!!
JSBR55 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/22
I absolutely recommend this podcast to any and every stepmom, in any walk of life. Christina and her guests have such amazing insight into our world. It’s given me a sense of community and a connection that reminds me that I’m not alone in my stepmom journey! Radical stepmoms and all the...Read full review »

I love Christina and this podcast! It truly helps my mental health and hearing all of the advice, stories & tips makes me feel sane again. Thanks for this! Every episode my husband and I find stuff we can both actually relate to. It helps him as a bio dad as well.
HighPoint Heat & Air via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/22
Words cannot express how thankful I am that I found this podcast. I find every episode validating and reassuring. It makes me feel connected to a community of step moms, which I have struggled to find in person. Listening to S:4 E:14 now and could not relate more! I have two step sons and just...Read full review »

I was at the end of my rope this week, and a friend referred me to your podcast. All I can say is thank you! Thank you for being here to offer this support. It is so needed. The episode about establishing boundaries with the ex and creating your own family has been so validating for me. Thank you!
Vermonter32 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/22
Love the podcast the perspective as I am also a stepmom. Will definitely continue listening! However, definitely need to work on the sound quality. Lots of fading in and out, what sounds like bad connection, etc. it’s hard to listen when the quality is so rough.
chelsjoharston via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/21
Love the podcast and how relatable it is. It’s refreshing to hear someone keeping it real!
Dom Kight via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/21
Such an amazing podcast! Feels good to have somewhere to turn for help! Have and will continue to share this with all my other step mom friends!!
sydkaye1h via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/21/21
So real. So right. So valued. I miss G! But every episode is so good and brings more and more insight as to what I’m going through. Loving Naja and how real she is too! I have recently BINGED this entire podcast while at work. Much love to you, Christina!
Ab_Ev via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/21
I saw a recent new mom post something from this podcast and decided to listen. I have been a stepmom for a long time and my daughter has had a stepmom for the same amount of time. I don’t think you can understand the true balance of step-parenting unless you are a stepparent AND your own child is...Read full review »

Finding RSMP has really opened up my mind and allowed me to take control of my mental health!!! It is so refreshing and therapeutic to hear the stories that I not only relate to, but can learn from! Even if they haven’t happened yet!!!! I have been able to decompress and have enjoyed the podcasts...Read full review »

Literally hear Christina and guests and wish I was talking with them! Sometimes their answers awaken things in me that have helped me literally SURVIVE this. Constantly need this in my life.
Emmyx11 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/20/21
This podcast has completely changed my demeanour as a step mom, I wish I would have found Christina and her Radical Step Mom community on my very first day entering into my partner’s life with his two children. I have never felt so validated, confident, and meaningful in my role ❤️
chelseakostal via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/20/21
I didn’t know just how darn common this kind of situation was — and that’s a little heartbreaking that it is so common. I’m a brand new step parent, been involved for over a year and am still dealing with a HCBM who targets me on social media and in person.... gosh is it tiring and draining to go...Read full review »
charliequeue via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/21
Since I’m also dealing with a HCBM, this podcast has been like hearing my own stories! It’s good to feel like there are other stepmoms out there who are simply loving their stepkids as their own and just doing their best while navigating this crazy journey as a stepmom. Love the laughs this gives...Read full review »

Ever since I found this podcast I have been binging. It is literally like therapy to me. I felt so alone before and finding other pages that led me to this podcast feels like a weekly therapy session. Helps me reset.
Thisisjackia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/18/21
As a brand new listener I chose Season 2 episode 18 because I have been long term dating a man who has two children from two different mothers. I am childless and in my late 20’s and the information here is so so comforting. Thank you so much.
Sunshineawaits via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/21
Y’all are making me feel so much less alone. You don’t know me but I feel you understand my struggles. Thank you for putting your personal lives out there so I can feel some solidarity. Much appreciated.
TallAwkwardChick via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/21
I love these two and I’ve never met them, but I feel like I know them! Seriously, I can’t express how happy I am to have found them, for being so real, unfiltered and saying what they feel with no regrets. This is the most validated I have felt being in my role. Listen to them if you are a...Read full review »
kourtnie69 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/24/21
This was my first episode, and I felt so validated! I have no step mother (or father) friends, so this was great to hear both perspectives from you both. Especially the discussion about BM boundaries and when to disengage in general etc. Will be going back to listen to older episodes!! I came...Read full review »
Amydoodles via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/23/21
These two women are angels. Their ability to share their unique stories, bring others in to share their stories, and make the rest of us feel less crappy in our stories ... is so needed 💛
V V 3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/18/20
Seriously the posts I see on IG are amazing I thought why not listen to this. And I think I’ve found a home. No one I am friends with understands the true dynamics of step parenting. It’s hard and I wanted to thank you for making me feel at home and welcomed to this tribe. Looking forward to...Read full review »
asedttvhj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/30/20
I just listened to season 2 episode 19. It was soooooo good to hear from a couple of full time step mom situations. I know it’s rare, but I would looooove if you guys did more on those. It’s such a different dynamic. Y’all are awesome, and I am so glad I found this podcast!
Toparrisigo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/23/20
They don’t know it, but this is my new crew now. We’re forever friends! ;) Seriously though, as a new stepmom without many stepmom friends, this podcast has been my saving grace! Somehow these incredible women are not only able to put all my complex feelings into words, but they help normalize...Read full review »

There is something ridiculously comforting about people going through the same thing as you, making you feel normal. I seek guidance in growth in all my relationships and their podcasts have opened my eyes to ways in which I can do better many times. This podcast is seriously underrated in the...Read full review »

I found this podcast while crying in my home office, trying to work (I’m also a social worker) during quarantine, while secretly eating cheez-its that I’ve hidden from my stepchildren, feeling like a failure! My stepson had just accidentally broke an item given to me by my now deceased father and...Read full review »
