There’s nothing like a chat with Mindy Kyle. She’s one of my favorite stepmom coaches in the space and she’s also my business coaching client. We get real right from the start. I share a breakdown I had right before we hit record. We get into the stepmom advice I don’t agree with. The truth about adult stepkids. And the small but powerful tweaks we made to her coaching business that helped her crush her goals.

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’.

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.

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.

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. If there’s a polarizing topic you’d like me to cover on this podcast, shoot me a DM!

Boundaries are extremely important to implement and hold in your relationships, but in my years as a stepmom coaching I’ve come to find that many people misunderstand what boundaries are.
Boundaries are not about controlling another person - they are about communicating your needs and preferences in regards to how people treat you. Good boundaries should get you closer to the dynamic you need in your relationship, not further away from it.
Today, Darren and I are diving into boundaries that stepmoms have submitted. You’ll hear boundary talk about:
Kids in the bedroom
Sending memes to the ex
Constant communication with the ex
Kids dropping by unannounced outside of the custody agreement
Driving the step kids to bio mom’s house to pick up things they forgot
Sitting with the ex at events

Darren and I have entered a whole new season of life - the kids are 18, child support is over, and the house is very quiet. Honestly? I sometimes miss the frenzy and chaos of a full house!
Darren joins me today for an update on our lives now that all of these changes have occurred.
We’ll tackle your listener questions:
What does life feel like without child support?
How do we support our young adult children?
How do I expect to show up as a stepmom in the lives of my adult stepkids?
What has changed in our marriage on the other side of this journey?

Your words were what I needed to hear. I stayed in my first marriage for 25 years where I was a stepmom to his son and our 5 children. Now I'm married to a man with 3 children and we're about to get full custody of his 9 year old daughter. We have had these types of conversations because your marriage has to come first even when family members are working against you. Thanks!!
What a great episode! much appreciated
Such a great episode! love when the two of you are on together!! this was just what I needed to hear this morning....a gentle reminder
Such a great episode!! P.S. I LOVE the episodes with your husband!!!
