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
