Darren and I share some hilarious (and embarrassing) stories from the last 12 years.  Like the time I hid behind a fence from the ex, meeting the kids, dressing the same as the ex, the proposal story, and more about those early stepmom days. We also share more BTS from the "no kids in the bedroom" rule that made the internet go wild.

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!
