  • I feel seen and heard!

    I can’t stop listening. I’m 32 and I’ve been a stepmom for 15 years. I’m in the teenage years and I’ve been feeling like no one understands. I feel seen and heard. I don’t think I’ve heard a childfree stepmom speak before, I’ve never even met one. Thank you Christina!

    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 you!

  • Connecting stepmoms along their journey.

    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 community back then. Thank you!

  • Season7 Episode 1. Wow!!

    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!
