  • Release Stepmom Guilt

    Your podcast has been so helpful. Feeling seen as a step mom with no bio kids. Feeling like everything I do is wrong. In a situation with a high conflict bio Mom…..Hearing the topics you touch on helps me feel like I’m not the only one and that these situations aren’t personal it’s just part of the role. .

  • No longer who she use to be

    Jamie spends all her time just bashing all the other new stepmom podcasts and coaches out there. She’s become more negative and seems to be just fighting to keep her brand alive and it’s giving ICK factors all over the place. We love Stepmom Side Chats & especially some of the bio dad’s perspectives that we get now. Being REAL is not Jamie’s vibe. She’s just REAL mean now. Maybe it’s time to retire your “7 figure company” ew.

  • 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. 😂 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 Jamie‘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

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stop Being the Bigger Person: The F*ck Them Theory with Keltie Knight
Q: What is this process like? So many women are just not doing the things because they're not confident in themselves yet, but I just don't, I think you just got to do it.
Knight says she is confident in her professional abilities but still feels unsure about many outcomes. She encourages acting before feeling ready, using the mindset “Why the fuck not me?” and presenting oneself as capable while building experience.
Stop Being the Bigger Person: The F*ck Them Theory with Keltie Knight
Q: And I would love to go back to the breakdown that you talk about at the very beginning of the book, which sparks this whole entire thing. And I want you to tell me a little bit about that.
Knight describes looking successful while facing a canceled show, an exhausting podcast event, time away from her husband, body-image struggles, depression and unsafe use of prescription drugs with alcohol. The crisis led her to reconsider what mattered and to turn rejection and painful experiences into motivation.
Hiring Help Isn't Bougie: Why Women Feel Guilty Paying for Support with Kelly Hubbal of Sage Haus
Q: What actually is a house manager and what do they do in a typical week?
Kelly lists a wide range of tasks—from kid pickups and drop-offs, babysitting, dog care, car maintenance, groceries, laundry, to meal prep and business support—emphasizing that a house manager is a holistic, adaptable role or 'modern Mary Poppins' who can tailor tasks to a family's needs.
Using Human Design To Better Understand My Marriage, Business, Stepmom Stress With Erin Claire Jones
Q: What practical tips would you give a stepmom who is a projector dealing with high-energy kids and a busy home?
Prioritize rest and alone time, seek genuine recognition from partners, and create one-on-one moments with kids; invitations should be used to engage without forcing participation, and understand that emotion-driven reactions may require pause and reflection before responding.
Using Human Design To Better Understand My Marriage, Business, Stepmom Stress With Erin Claire Jones
Q: How can knowing someone's design change parenting or step-parenting dynamics?
Knowing design helps tailor support, rest needs, recognition, and invitation strategies for each child or stepchild, making one-on-one time more effective and reducing friction when integrating families.
