I’m talking for my business, for my mental health and for my personal relationships.

Todays guest is Dr. Gertrude Lyons. She is on a mission to rewrite the Mother Code, and help women heal their motherwound and debunk the myths of motherhood. She is a Master Life Coach and Relationship Expert with over 20 years of experience. Through her Rewriting The Mother Code initiative, which challenges the traditional notions of motherhood and womanhood she has become a national mothering revolutionary. She believes Dr. Lyon’s belief, all women have a “mother code” instilled in them—the current model for mothering in our culture is broken. It is limited, constricting, and disempowering. She questions preconceived beliefs and leans into topics that will tap into the powerful femininity within all of us. In this episode we talk about the myths around motherhood, how our childhood and cultural experiences impact how we view motherhood and how moms can and should write their OWN mothercode.   Get 120 Ways To Be A KICK-ASS Stepmom: https://jamiescrimgeour.com/ebook   For more from Jamie Scrimgeour visit www.jamiescrimgeour.com Follow along on Instagram: www.instagram.com/jamiescrimgeour Follow along on Facebook: www.facebook.com/scrimgeourjamie   Book a one-on-one coaching call: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/coaching Join The Exclusive Stepmom Community: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/membership Download The Secret To Improving Your Stepfamily Life: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/freeguide     For More From Dr. Gertrude Lyons: Follow them on Instagram: www.instagram.com/drgertrudelyons Listen to her podcast: www.drgertrudelyons.com/podcast Check out her website: www.drgertrudelyons.com   Thanks to Our Sponsors:   Cozy Earth www.jamiescrimgeour.com/cozyearth JAMIES40 for 40% off

In the first episode of the Jamie Scrimgeour Podcast, my husband Darren joins me to talk about what the first year of our marriage was REALLY like. I’ve been told that our blended family life seems perfect. That’s just not the case! Sure, we’ve come a long way, and have worked really hard to get to where we’re at, but it’s far from perfect. I often say that going from 26-year-old bachelorette to a stepmom of three was like moving another country that speaks an entirely different language. For us, the transition was far from smooth. In this episode, we talk about our biggest challenges during that first year including what we struggled with and what we argued about most. Straight up, this episode made me realize just how far I’ve come!

This is the last podcast episode of 2019, so I thought I’d end this season and this podcast year with a straight to the point, no bullshit pep talk on what you can do to live a good life.  You may be like WHAAAAAA Jamie – last podcast of 2019.  YES! We’re taking a break for the holidays and to do some planning for 2020 but don’t worry I will be back – We’re planning some really next level conversations for 2020 so it will be worth the wait! We’ve dealt with some pretty tough stuff this year.   Co-parenting struggles, legal issues, parenting struggles, family struggles, infertility, debilitating anxiety attacks …  It hasn’t been an easy year.  But it’s also been a really amazing year!!! Probably one of the best years of my life.  When I think back on all the tough things we’ve been through this year, it’s crazy (and amazing) that I feel this positive about 2019. Now, I’ve been thinking a lot about what separates happy/successful/content/thriving people from those who aren’t and it really does boil down your willingness to own your life  Here’s the truth. This is a truth that I learned the hard way. Life is hard.  You’re going to have to deal with bullshit.  It doesn’t matter how people treat you It doesn’t matter how bitter/resentful your ex may be It doesn’t matter what your parents did or did not do as a child or how crappy your boss or your mother-in-law is or what people think about the choices you’re making in YOUR life… Today in this episode I’m going to share strategies that I’ve implemented in my life to thrive amongst the tough stuff… I’m confident that if you commit to doing the same, you’ll see a shift in yours!

Over the last few months I’ve had so many of you reach out and ask me how I built my platform for stepmoms. You want to know how I grew this community and ultimately created a business doing what I love. A few weeks back I had the opportunity to talk all about all of this on Kelsey Murphy’s Podcast, Whiskey & Work. Kelsey Murphy is a speaker, writer and career and business coach who has worked with companies like Facebook, Google, Apple, Twitter, Toms Shoes and GapIt was actually a huge honor to be interviewed on this podcast, because it happens to be one of my favourites. Every day I have people ask me what my favourite podcasts are to listen to, and this one always makes the list. People listen to podcasts for different reasons – and personally I listen to get inspired, for personal development, to learn from other people’s successes and truthfully to get strategies on how to take this community to the next level. The Whiskey & Work Podcast does all of this for me. But it’s not just for entrepreneurs, everyone can get something out of this show! Not only did Kelsey interview me about my blog and online platform, we dove into what was holding me back in life – and when I say that I’m talking about what was holding me back from being the best stepmom I could be AND from starting to create the platform and business that I want. We also talked about my parenting values, my opinion on parenting by the book and how I stopped worrying about what other people think about what I say and do…I’m telling you all of this because Kelsey has allowed me to share the interview on this podcast too… so that’s what we’re doing today…I hope you like listening to this episode… as much as I loved recording it.Be sure to check our Kelsey’s Podcast Whiskey and Work, as well as all of the amazing content she has over on her website www.kelseymurphy.com

In this episode of The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast, Julie Cole, mom of 6, blogger and founder of Mabel's Labels talks about divorce and her decision to adopt the “nesting” co-parenting style after she and her husband decided to end their marriage. If you’re not familiar, “nesting” is when two parents are no longer in a romantic relationship, but choose to co-parent their kids in the matrimonial home. Each parent attends the home during their allotted parenting time and lives somewhere else when it is not. I just love getting into a peek of the many different types of co-parenting relationships and this one was no different.    MORE FROM JULIE COLE Follow Julie on Instagram - www.instagram.com/cole.julie Head to Mabel's Labels - www.mabelslabels.ca   MORE FROM JAMIE For more from Jamie Scrimgeour visit www.jamiescrimgeour.com Follow along on Instagram: www.instagram.com/jamiescrimgeour Follow along on Facebook: www.facebook.com/scrimgeourjamie   SUPPORT FOR STEPMOMS Book a one-on-one coaching call: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/coaching Join the Exclusive Stepmom Community: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/membership Download 101 Ways To Be A KICK-ASS Stepmom  - www.jamiescrimgeour.com/ebook Free Guide: Transitioning Clothes Between Homes: https://www.thekickassstepmomproject.com/transitioning-clothes-between-moms-dads Want Change In Your Stepfamily Life?

Naja is a Family and Life Coach, an author and the creator of the highly acclaimed online community and platform for stepmoms, Blended and Black.

While Naja and I have different stepfamily dynamics result in us having different perspectives on how to navigate some areas of stepfamily life -  she is a great resource for so many stepmoms and even taught me a few golden nuggets.
