  • Hands down my go to show

    I have listened since the beginning and Jamie is hands down the best- honestly speaking if she read me a phone book I would likely listen to that as well. šŸ˜‚ Jamie gives real life advice, and is always transparent in whatever season she is in. I find this very uplifting and honestly this is my therapy session on Mondays. I love the guests, as they bring so much value to the sessions.

  • Undecided

    Used to love Jamie but she’s a little different than she used to be…As most of us are but she’s made her money and she’s a lot more blunt and doesn’t seem to care too much abt those in the trenches. She’s not for everybody bc she’s never dealt with parental alienation. She won’t be able to speak to that. She can only speak to high conflict and working through drama. The problem with that is she thinks her advice covers PA as well. She doesn’t understand what it’s like when a BM takes a child f... more

  • Jamie Blocked Me

    I had been a paying customer of Jamieā€˜s for a long time. I used to go to her office hours, she has helped me change my perspective on different things related to step family life but as time went on. I guess our perspectives on things changed? With her help and also the help of my therapist and the self work I put in, my step family stress is nowhere what it used to be. But I feel like Jamie’s perspective has changed over the years and I believe our views may have clashed? I know I feel like I c... more

  • Life-saver

    This podcast is a must listen! As a stepmom whose husband is also 12 years older than me, I relate so much to Jamie. The way she shares her step parenting journey has been so helpful to me with my stepkids. Her content is real and I love how she normalizes what a lot of stepmoms go through. So glad you’re back!

  • Jamie says what we all need to hear

    Jamie’s approach to telling it like it is is extremely effective when it comes to how we manage the stepmom dynamic. Half the time, she’s talking about something that I assumed only affected me. It’s reassuring to know other stepmoms are dealing with the same…and refreshing to hear Jamie’s take on how to manage it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Your Stepkids Really Feel According To Research with Dr. Todd Jensen
Q: Is therapy with the stepkids necessary to repair a broken relationship, especially with teens?
Therapy can help in some cases, but teens often resist long, high-pressure sessions; sometimes a more gradual approach with careful timing and involvement of both caregivers is better, and not every situation requires formal therapy right away.
How Your Stepkids Really Feel According To Research with Dr. Todd Jensen
Q: From your research, what are you seeing as the biggest mistake stepmoms make right at the start?
The biggest misstep is rushing to fix what feels broken and trying to be everything to everyone; instead the research shows that steady, authentic presence and letting relationships develop at their own pace is more effective, with clear involvement from both resident and non-resident parents.
What F You Money Really Is & Why Every Woman Needs it, RHOBH Tea, Don't Date Broke Dudes with Pattie Ehsaei
Q: Is there any situation where being dependent on a man is an okay thing?
Yes, as long as there is financial transparency and you are actively participating in finances; the key is to build a plan where both partners contribute equitably and you have your own financial baseline to protect yourself, which provides options if the relationship ends.
Can The Ex Move The Stepkids, Dealing With Parental Alienation and Other Legal Stories With Family Law Attorney Diana Romanov
Q: How can custody evaluators help in high-conflict divorce situations?
They can provide a different perspective and advice tailored to custody cases while maintaining confidentiality, helping clients navigate their options effectively.

Q: What happens if the person paying child support gets laid off?
If laid off for performance issues, income may still be imputed. However, if laid off legitimately, a request for modification of support should be filed.
