The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast

Dr. Tracy Dagleish joins me today to tackle a hot topic in the stepmom world: the mother in law. Her new book You, Your Husband, and His Mother is an absolute must read for anyone wanting to strengthen their relationship.  We’ll talk about how to handle a mother in law who is still involved with the ex, understanding the ‘family system’ you married into, the types of mother in laws, navigating communication with your partner about his mother, and dealing with the view the mother in law has so you as ‘the new wife’.  Grab a copy of You, Your Husband and His Mother + follow Dr. Tracy @drtracyd on Instagram Check out the conversation Darren and I had about these types of challenges exclusively on my Substack:  https://substack.com/@jamiescrimgeour Get The Disengaging Without Disconnecting Masterclass www.jamiescrimgeour.com/disengaging  Get My Ebook -  120 Ways To Be A KICK-ASS Stepmom www.jamiescrimgeour.com/ebook  Join Elevate www.jamiescrimgeour.com/elevate  Episode Sponsors:  Cozy Earth | Go to www.cozyearth.com and use the code COZYJAMIE for 20% off of your order LMNT | My Go To Electrolyte Drink.

Darren and I have worked hard to find a relationship structure that works well for us, and it’s definitely not 50/50.  Today we’ll unpack our marriage rules. You’ll hear why ‘100/100’ works for us, how we arrange responsibilities and schedules based around the fact that Darren is the breadwinner, why running our home like a business has made all of the difference, and how we navigate moments when we don’t agree on how to handle something.  Subscribe to my Substack  https://substack.com/@jamiescrimgeour Get The Disengaging Without Disconnecting Masterclass www.jamiescrimgeour.com/disengaging  Get My Ebook -  120 Ways To Be A KICK-ASS Stepmom www.jamiescrimgeour.com/ebook  Join Elevate www.jamiescrimgeour.com/elevate  Episode Sponsors:  LMNT | My Go To Electrolyte Drink.

Darren and I share some hilarious (and embarrassing) stories from the last 12 years.  Like the time I hid behind a fence from the ex, meeting the kids, dressing the same as the ex, the proposal story, and more about those early stepmom days. We also share more BTS from the "no kids in the bedroom" rule that made the internet go wild.

It can often feel in our society, especially for stepmoms, like we have to live in our masculine energy in order to survive. Clinical psychologist Dr. Amanda Hanson wants to dispel that myth.  We’ll talk about the importance of embracing your feminine energy, finding the courage to surrender within your relationships, tangible steps you can take to cultivate deeper self love, and the importance of getting curious when you’re feeling triggered.  Connect with Dr. Hanson:  Instagram @midlife.muse www.amandahanson.com Get The Disengaging Without Disconnecting Masterclass www.jamiescrimgeour.com/disengaging  Work With Me. www.jamiescrimgeour.com/coaching  Get My Ebook -  120 Ways To Be A KICK-ASS Stepmom www.jamiescrimgeour.com/ebook  Episode Sponsors:  LMNT | My Go To Electrolyte Drink.

The internet went wild with hate recently on a post from the podcast where Darren and I told a story about the stepkids not being allowed to hang out in our bedroom. So today, I’m responding. I’ll read some of the comments I received from trolls, give my thoughts on the haters, and answer the question - is it okay to feel different about your stepkids and your biological kids?  This experience is going to change my content. I’m going to get more raw and real in this space.
