I am so grateful for this podcast. Being a stepmom is the hardest thing I have ever done. I have been in such a dark place for too long. I recently discovered this podcast, and not a minute too soon. I am now ready to do the work I need for myself and my stepfamily life. I look forward to each...Read full review »

This podcast has guided me through the challenging nuances of being a stepmom. I started listening when my now-husband and I were just dating. It’s difficult to express how grateful I am to have Jamie’s experience, acceptance of imperfection, and maturity to draw from as a continue the parenthood...Read full review »

Went right to the episode that most related to what I’m going through. House rules is something I’ve been trying to get my husband on the same page as me about. Not do whatever you want because you are an adult. This validated this point. Recommended!!!

I’m so thankful I found Jamie on Pinterest a few years ago and decided to listen to her podcasts! She’s real, she’s open, she’s honest and vulnerable. She gets it! I’ve listened to episodes multiple times because they resonate with my heart so much. Thank you for sharing your life and your...Read full review »

I found this podcast and after listening to a few episodes I was completely obsessed. As a step mom, it’s not an easy life to live and the challenges can be intense sometimes, finding this podcast has saved me. Thank you for doing this, I can’t imagine my mindset if I hadn’t found you.

I cannot say enough good things about this podcast and Jamie’s website. It’s helped to “back-up” my point of view and softened conversations between myself and my partner. I feel so heard and supported to have my feelings and words validated over and over in the words of other step moms. Thank...Read full review »

I am a stepmom to two wonderful children. In the step-parenting world, I have it pretty good. My husband handles a lot with the children and the ex and I have a very respectful, kind situation with the ex also. Even so, it’s tough and there is no one to talk to. Anyone who asks is always more...Read full review »

I have been a step mom for 3 years and have struggled every bit of the way. This podcast has helped validate my feelings and help me sort through them so I can show up as the best step mom possible.
Hwebb6940 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/21/23
I enjoy reading your emails and always attempt the podcasts but life happens… I was excited to find you when I was down in the trenches and just knowing there are people who’ve been through it all keeps me going!
Step..bonus…? via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/07/23
I fell upon Jamie’s podcast after hearing her as a guest speaker on another show. For years, I have been struggling feeling as though I have been completely alone in my stepmom experience. Jamie’s work and devotion really opens up the door for myself and other stepmoms really struggling to find...Read full review »

I appreciate Jamie’s podcast so very much. She’s genuine, vulnerable, a wealth of knowledge, and yet also brings positivity to this space. I’ve learned so much and have felt seen and validated while listening to others’ tell their stories. Many thanks, Jaimie! Keep doing what you’re doing.

I found this podcast this summer while my step-daughter was on her summer visitation with her mom. It has been life changing! I have a different circumstance where my husband has primary custody and her mom (extremely high conflict) moved states away having visits during school breaks. It’s been...Read full review »

I go back and listen to every episode over and over. It helps so much to fill my head with good and positive thoughts at any phase i’m going through in life. Jamie is simply the best. Great to have a podcast to make you feel not alone when there aren’t many people to talk to.
Gracie MP. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/17/23
I’m not a step mom, but I have friends who are and this helps me recognize some of the things they may be dealing with. Also there is a ton of advice just on how to handle relationships in general and how to focus on the important things when it comes to relationships and family !
DeclansMom21 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/31/23
If you struggle with anything stepmom/blended family related this podcast is for you!! Thank you Jaimie for bringing your light to others through your experiences.

I have been listening to the podcast for a few years now and it has been a staple in my “step mom” (not married yet) journey.

Just found this podcast. The one with Jamie’s husband WOW. I felt like I was writing every sentence down as a tip and quote! I have 2 sons and 2 SDs. I moved in with my partner, the girls BM decided to walk away, then we went into a pandemic 4mths later. I went from a calm life of 3 with my own...Read full review »

I love this podcast and have been listening to Jamie for a long time now. So many things she has helped me with during my step momma journey. I’m like Jamie - it’s one of the hardest roles and hardest thing I’ve ever had to do or go through. But feeling like I have the community that is right...Read full review »

I really enjoy this podcast. I’ve been listening past few months. Some days it’s like the salve I need for my heart and mind. Being a stepmom is wonderful and hard. It’s deeply giving but also taking it on the chin. Jamie’s perspective, realism and the focus on building a positive mindset during...Read full review »

I found Jamie while I was looking for stepmom support. Listening to her podcast has made me feel so understood and has made me feel not so alone in my stepmom journey. She is an amazing voice and support for the stepmom community.
Candy012323 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/15/23
I started dating my current boyfriend about a year and a half ago. I was 20 when I met him and he was 24. Dealing with the Mom at such a young age has been more than difficult. Knowing my role as a step parent has been a adjustment in itself. I am very pleased with this podcast and just hearing...Read full review »
Macie Lynn B via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/07/23
Refreshingly honest! Jamie’s not afraid to share her opinion - advice from someone truly living the values she’s speaking to. And honest about it when she’s falling short.
s.cost. via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/25/23
As a mom and stepmom, this podcast has been so helpful. Sometimes I don’t like what I hear and some of it is because I know that’s my insecurities, my wounds. But I love coming here when I’m in need of some tools or even reassurance. I wish some of this could be broadcasted everywhere. I wish...Read full review »

Finally the support every stepmom needs! The honest, vulnerable and honest truths Jamie gives is a gift to any step mom looking to grow in her role and personal journey. I could go on but have a listen for yourselves! She touches on so many topics. The variety is fantastic. A must follow!

Jamie was so fun to chat with about a really touchy topic and asks thoughtful questions.

Jamie you have changed my live for the better! I‘m so grateful you are creating this podcast!

Jamie’s fresh perspective is peppered with humor and reality. I love it. Being a stepmom can be ridiculously hard sometimes. Thanks to Jamie, it’s more bearable.
SMC!! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/23
I found Jamie when I began my stepmom journey in 2019 (when I was only dating my now husband). I needed something to normalize all the hate being thrown our way from the other side. I have continued to work on these things through the years and it’s not always easy. Jamie’s podcast is a great...Read full review »

whitney022920 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/23
This has been a great way to hear other people’s experiences like ours and it’s been incredibly helpful to hear that we’re not alone and to gain perspective. When we have long car rides, we catch up on listening together too. Thank you!

I had a hard time getting into this podcast. I felt like the way she talks to her husband is condescending. I’m glad she is helping stepmoms though! We need more of this!
JaneNan34 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/24/23
I have been a long time listener and follow of Jamie’s, 4 years now.

This podcast has really helped me a lot! Especially the disengaging! Also, knowing that I’m not the only one who feels like damned if I do, damned if I don’t!

Blending 5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/23
LOVE this podcast. As a new stepmom, it’s just what I needed. Jamie and her podcast is the perfect balance between being compassionate and naming our feelings and experiences and helping stepmoms get out of their own way. It’s the first resource I share w my stepmom friends!
LG fan15 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/23
This podcast was recommended to me from a friend a couple of years ago and I’ve been listening weekly and following along in Jamie’s journey ever since!

Jamie’s podcast has literally changed my life and family dynamics. I finally have the energy to focus on the important things and not the previously triggering events common in step families. Definitely recommending!! Andrea

Love Jamie!! Absolutely HATED the podcast with Ron Deal. That guy is so clueless when it comes to majority of blended families and not even sure how he has come so far in his “business.” Stopped listening to him long ago…now I know he’s not even in a blended family. Wow!!! The part about leading...Read full review »

Been struggling as a new stepmom and a new mom to an “ours” baby. Nobody seems to understand. SO GLAD to have finally found a safe place where women understand!
