  • Relatable, reliable content

    Cameron is hands down one of the top stepfamily experts with content that is not only super relatable but also backed by research and can be trusted to guide stepmoms in the right direction. I know I can trust what she says and I think that’s so important with all the new stepmom-related content out on social media. This podcast is something a stepmom will keep coming back to because it’s both real and reliable!

    I’ve been a stepmom for 16+ years, I wish I had this podcast when I was a new stepmom!! Such great advice and tips for helping navigate the stepmom life. I’m still struggling with some things even though my step kids are grown, and I still found helpful comments and perspective in these podcasts, so thank you.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is It Really Parental Alienation? How to Recognize the Signs and Protect Your Family | Amy J.L. Baker, PhD
Q: For someone who has never heard of parental alienation, tell us quickly what it is and how it differs from normal parent-child conflict.
Parental alienation is a dynamic where one parent engages in consistent behaviors that foster a child's unjustified rejection of the other parent, but it requires a distinctive pattern across several factors rather than a single incident; not every rejection is alienation, and careful evaluation is needed to avoid mislabeling everyday parenting disagreements as alienation.
Amy Porterfield on Finding Your Identity as a Stepmom
Q: How do you balance authenticity online with staying true to who you are in real life?
Porterfield discusses receiving feedback to show a less polished version of herself while also staying aligned with her core identity, explaining that the right mix is knowing when to be real and when to present her best self for interviews and appearances.
Amy Porterfield on Finding Your Identity as a Stepmom
Q: What does 'unbossing' mean and how can it apply to listeners who want to start their own ventures while parenting?
Unbossing means leading yourself and trusting your expertise, rather than waiting for a traditional boss. It's about developing the mindset and habits to run your own show, which Porterfield says starts with recognizing you don't need permission from others to lead.
Amy Porterfield on Finding Your Identity as a Stepmom
Q: What was your origin story with becoming a stepmom and building your business at the same time?
Porterfield explains how she met her husband through his ex-wife, how Cade entered their lives, and how she chose to pursue entrepreneurship while navigating a new family dynamic, ultimately building a large business without losing presence with her stepson.
