Formerly The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast | After spending nearly a decade building one of the world's largest communities for stepmoms, Jamie Scrimgeour is entering a new chapter. What started as conversations about stepfamily life became something much bigger. Because women weren't only coming back for stepmom advice. They were coming back for a different way of thinking. About themselves. Their rel... more

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. .
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.
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.
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
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
