34. Navigating Blended Family Dynamics: Tips & Insights for Stepmoms with The KICK-ASS Stepmom Jamie Scrimgeour
In this episode of Obsessed or Not Interested, I have a heart-to-heart with Jamie Scrimgeour, a life coach and the brains behind the Kick-Ass Stepmom Podcast and blog. We dive deep into the complex world of stepfamily relationships, the hurdles of co-parenting, and why empathy & setting clear boundaries are so crucial. Jamie gives some solid advice to fellow stepmoms on how to handle high-conflict ex-partners and stresses the importance of keeping the lines of communication wide open. We also touch on how vital it is for husbands to support their new partners, and we navigate the tricky waters of being at events with an ex-spouse.
Jamie points out some great resources for stepmoms, highlighting how crucial it is to have a network of support and personalized help. We wrap up the episode with a focus on keeping the peace and steering clear of unnecessary drama.
