The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast

Society EN ↓ 294 episodes

When Jamie Scrimgeour couldn't find the kind of stepmom support she needed, she created it. The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast is for stepmoms navigating blended family life, co-parenting, marriage, and the emotional reality of this role. Each week, Jamie shares real life conversations, practical strategies, and mindset shifts to help you stop overthinking, feel more at ease in your home, and show up in a way that actually feels good. This is where stepmom life, relationships, personal growth, and lifestyle come together
