This episode covers us buying a new house, after outgrowing the 'premarital' house. I moved into the house Josh owned with his ex-wife (the girl's bio mom) and that comes with a lot of baggage in itself, but when she mentioned Emmy's bedroom in the contempt interrogatories... it was quite surprising.

This episode is about the contempt case, from my perspective as the stepmom! Many times, we go through court battles, listening, wanting to speak but we are often ignored because we aren't legally parents. We all know, you do not have to be blood to be a parent, nor do you have to be a legal parent to be a parent.

This episode is about when we took the girl's bio mom to court in 2017 for contempt. She disparaged Josh to the girls while she was angry, that he wasn't doing what she wanted him to do. Have you ever been in this situation?

This episode is dedicated to Emmy, my middle child. She taught me how to be a mom, has loved me even when I've made mistakes (and I've made big ones) and just overall has shown me how to be a better person. I gave her the biggest gift that I could give her this year, by adopting her.

This episode was by far my hardest to record. I had to record this quite a few times. I'm taking you back to when I was on maternity leave, headed back to work & how a physician missed diagnosing me with anxiety. I could have gotten the help I needed in 2017. This is such an important, raw and vulnerable episode. I hope you connect with it & please consider sharing with me.

This episode is very raw. Parental Alienation, abandonment & change in children. It prevents them from talking to people, trying new things & knowing how to trust. LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE.

This episode is all about traditions! I always wanted to have traditions with my family when I grew up but I never thought I'd walk into a ready-made family. Have you created any traditions with your blended family?
