I Know I’m Crazy with NAJA HALL

I chat with Bill Gobin, a dad that gave up his cushy life in LA to move to the coal mines of the midwest. He has gone to family court 47 times and represented himself 17 times. Spoiler Alert: He has custody of both of his girls! To learn more about Bill visit his website,https://www.billgobin.com/

Naja chats on how to go gracefully end a relationship. We have all felt duped by man to whom we’ve given our all…only to get peanuts in return. We then go on a rampage, attacking him, the things he loves and his entire being….all the while neglecting the fact that THIS MAN HAS A RIGHT TO PURSUE HIS VERSION OF HAPPINESS! And, sadly we may no longer be a part of his vision for his present and (foreseeable) future. OUCH! 

Host, Naja chats about her own high-conflict family experiences and shares coping mechanisms for handling baby mama drama. Check out her book www.GirlBye.info to learn more about the system she mentions in the podcast. Also visit www.VIPStepmom.com for more info on overcoming stepmom woes.

Naja chats with comedian and single dad Kenny Warren on how he has turned his experience with divorce, co-parenting, kidnapping and raising two sons into a hilarious stand-up routine.  Kenny resides in NYC with his son. For more info on Kenny, visit https://www.facebook.com/kwabm/

If I could chose a co-mother, it would be Shoni. She is so cool! So evolved! As so drama-free. My guest Shoni was uber honest about her humble beginnings as a coparent and now she'd bend over backwards just to see her family blend. Surprisingly (sarcasm), it's not always BioMom that causes the drama!

This episode is a bit wonky. I forgot to turn my mic on and there was a weird internet connection. The CONTENT and MESSAGE were so powerful that I just had to post it. I'm chatting with Tim Watson, founder of Blendcridible and an around great fella. As a 2nd time Stepdad, he helps shed light on the REAL difference between Team SM and Team SD and he offers a perspective that might help some families have an attitude shift.

Keep it real. Had you known all the struggles, hardships and pressure that can accompany Stepmotherhood, would you still have moved forward with your relationship? Well, I asked the internet and they responded in FULL FORCE. The answers were pretty brutal. To check out the blog page, visit https://www.vipstepmom.com/say-yes/.

I realized that many of fellow StepSistas (stepmoms+sisterfriends) listen to me because of my approach to stepmomming. After careful thought, planning and execution, I created a space just for us. It's a site where I am pouring all of my stepmom tools, resources and content in one private community. There's a discussion forum where you can post anonymously and we even have Group Coaching sessions.

I recently chatted with my friend Brian Barnett. He is not only an expert on Borderline Personality Disorder, he's actually rid himself of the terrible disorder that plagues 4% of Americans. This podcast takes an in-depth look at BPD and the people that it affects. Brian is proof that there is hope beyond borderline.
