#59 Five Emotional Needs Necessary To Thrive in Your Stepfamily
01:05:06
Do you want to raise children who act responsibly even when they don't feel like it? Kids who do the right thing, even when there is no one there to remind them? Children who act respectfully, even when they don't get their way? What about raising children who can solve problems, even if they don't have all the answers?
These are great questions. And I hear a resounding yes! Definitely the children we want to raise in stepfamilies! As we're initially blending together. There is a tsunami of challenges that we did not expect. In today's episode, we host Rachel Bailey, a parenting specialist with Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology. Rachel speaks about the yuck in parenting and discusses opportunities to learn how to deal with the yuck in our daily lives. She's helped thousands of families enjoy their kids again as they experience the switch from strategies that don't stick (band-aid parenting) to “long-game parenting,” which leads to results that last and make parents feel more confident and in control.
Can you relate to any of these emotional needs? 1. Connection & intimacy (we are social creatures by nature) 2. Significance (we have a need to know we matter) 3. Capability (we need to know we can handle what life throws at us) 4. Control (we need to feel a sense of control; predictability) 5. Security (we need to know that everything is going to be ok)
Join Rachel's membership-based Parenting Academy for ongoing, "Yuck Dumps"! And to obtain short-term wins for long-term results!

#1 What Makes Stepfamilies Sooooo HARD? Inaugural Podcast
00:31:29
You know when couples get remarrried, with stepkids? It's definitely not what many couples expect (nor what the kiddos are anticipating!)
Today's episode, slightly edited from its original publication, mimics what it means to blend "families" (aka platforms) together.
What it means: 1. It feels like starting over. 2. It's a bit fuzzy to me why the family members (platforms) won't work well together 3. More work is required. 4. I feel a bit frustrated about the time it is taking to make this right. 5. The help desks on different platforms are directing me to yet another help desk. (It's like they are speaking another language!)
What I choose: 1. Acknowledging that my roots are important (in my blend and in my podcasting journey). 2. Even though it is fuzzy, I'm following the steps because I'm trusting the information I have right at this moment. 3. Asking myself the question: Is this important? The answer is, "Yes!" Ministering to blended families is a passion of mine! 4. Same - I'm still frustrated! 5. Being clear on what I want and willing to learn some new lingo, too.
While I am definitely NOT in the same place at the inaugural recording September 3, 2020, I can relate to my old self's perspective at this time.
Since then, I've moved from STUCK to UNSTUCK in my blend.
Sharing a bit of my story with the world helped me to heal, grow, and help others along the way.
As a Stepfamily Life Coach, I'm passionate about helping couples move from a house divided into Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!™
In Season 4, my best bud, soulmate, friend, and hubby joined in this ministry. Now that is definitely turning what feels impossible into Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!™

#64 A Crash Course in Apologetics for Christians In Blended Families
00:48:43
Do you feel like it's too late for you to begin anew with your family? Is legacy building just for traditional families?
Not according to our next guest, Joel Settecase. Joel shares, "One of the most important and profound and touching truths of Scripture is the doctrine of adoption. Jesus is called the Son of God, and rightly so! The way that God speaks about us as his children, he uses the metaphor of adoption. He says in scripture, we've been given the spirit of adoption as sons (and daughters).
The very fact that God is our Father by way of adoption is so profound for any father.
That has to speak to stepfathers! God took us from another family, another kingdom even, and he brought us to be with him."
Friends, it’s no mistake that the children God has given to you belong with you. The real question is not whether you can have a legacy. Instead, it's what are you doing to create the legacy God is entrusting to you to in your blend?
Bonus Mission! Meditation A stewardship perspective relates to your talents (minas) Christ uses the Parable of the Ten Minas in Luke 19:11–27 to teach about the coming Kingdom of God on earth. What is God's call on your stewardship role as a blended family spouse and parent?

#65 Where Do You Go To Find Quiet to Discern God's Will?
00:38:40
Discerning God's will in a noisy world requires intentionality. In today's episode, Bill and Jen share strategies that will work for you and your marriage so you can not only find the quiet, but begin to discern God's call, blessings, and stewardship authority for your family.
Here are the 5 simple steps:
Aligning your marriage with God's will through the power of A, B, C, D, & E!
A: Attitude - ready to hear from God B: Bible Study - Search for Scriptural Answers C: Conviction of the Holy Spirit D: Determine if we have peace: "Let peace be your referee!" E: Expect Difficulty
Today's episode draws from The Mystery of God's Will by Charles Swindoll (one of Bill's fave authors!)

#66 Is Your Marriage Necessary?
00:49:58
Is Your Marriage Necessary?
What do communication, accountability and unity look like in your blend? We'll talk about that and more in Episode #66!
In today's episode, we meet Joe Marshall and learn of his passion for loving people, how he got from the US to Australia, and God's called to the missionary life.
Not unlike many of you when Joe received direction from God, he wasn't so sure God had picked the right guy (or the right place). Fortunately, there's a lovely woman involved in Joe's story, who was key to God's calling.
Joe shares examples of cultural differences between what he grew up experiencing and the cultural norms he's been living in for the past two decades in Australia.
Some of those cultural shifts include language barriers, societal shifts, and everyday church life activities.
Hey, if you're in a blended family, you can definitely relate to cultural shifts because as you know, oftentimes it can feel like you're living in another country as your new family blends.

Everyone has an idea of what marriage, family life and kids look like. But in a blend, those ideas can quickly become a distant memory or a longing.

69 \\ Can Your Stepfamily Marriage Be Saved? Rejecting God's Best for Your Blend Separates You From God
00:32:27
How does Holy Week impact our stepfamily relationships? We invite you to sit quietly together as a couple and contemplate the love of Jesus for you and your family through the lens of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ!
When we choose to reject God’s best for our marriage and our family, we experience separation from God.
The most significant example of the dark void, the emptiness and loneliness of separation from God, is what Jesus experienced when he died on the cross on Calgary. His sacrifice is why we can declare we are holy, righteous, and redeemed! Praise God! Thank you, Jesus!

71 \\ Are You Still Fighting About the Money, in Your Stepfamily, Honey? Here's a Better Way To Blend Your Finances To Reduce High Conflict
00:54:42
Sometimes, it's really tough to have conversations about the money. That ends today, with this episode! It's time to get unstuck and move forward in your finances, together!
How would you rate your financial literacy? How about your blended finances -- what rating would you give to you as a couple?
Too often, stepfamily couples fight about the money. But there is a better away. In today's episode, Terry shares how healthy conversations start regarding finances so couples can begin to experience real change, together.
Terry Pena is a Financial Planner and Founder of One Tenth Consulting. She and her husband created a financial plan to move to one income so Terry could stay home with their children when they were younger. That was the spark that kindled Terry’s 🔥passion🔥 for teaching financial literacy to Christian couples.
Terry outlines three simple points: the healing, the communication, and the planning for sound financial management that glorifies God (and removes a whole bunch of stress for you, too).

72 \\ Actions To Take Now Before Another Awkward, Blended Holiday Rolls Around in Your Stepfamily
00:32:18
Did you know? More phone calls are made on Mother’s Day than any other day of the year. These holiday chats with Mom often cause phone traffic to spike by as much as 37 percent.
Funny thing, I couldn’t find any stats on the spike for stepmomma phone calls…
No matter the stats, today’s episode addresses the awkwardness for stepmommas on a day set aside to honor mothers.
Sometimes special occasions roll around and you're caught off guard with planning?
Why does it sometimes feel as though holidays are a trap? (So says Bill on today's episode. Jen offers a slightly different take.)
Find out all the details of the "trappings" of Mother's Day celebrations. You already know some of them - unmet needs, undeclared desires, and huge disappointments.
We'll share how best sneak the cheese out of the trap before it snaps! And we'll model how we did it as we made the decision on how to celebrate as we recorded this episode!
Mommas, no matter the labels society applies, know your presence matters. You are a woman of influence! We pray the most abundant of blessings to you on this special day. Know that God sees your heart, your work, and your sacrifice as you steward your stepchildren. Happy Mother's Day, Stepmommas!

What would your life be like if you knew your stepfamily was going to win the race – with the odds stacked against you? 80 to 1 odds in fact?
What compels us to root for the underdog?
Let’s face it, in families, it can often feel like it is us against the world – Attacks on our belief systems to societal mocking of God’s design for marriage, we as Christians must be equipped to protect our families from the crosshairs of demonic influences, world directives, and false teachings.
No matter the negative messaging, or other's expectations, God’s immutable nature is exactly the support we need when we feel like the underdog. God calls us to run our race well. To keep our eyes on the finish line, fulfilling the purpose he has placed on our lives.

76 \\ Tired Of Disappointments, Blended Family Parents? Reduce Unmet Needs In Your Stepfamily Marriage
00:39:49
Now that you've been together for a bit, a sneaky little thing called unmet expectations can begin to sabotage your starry-eyed love affair. That's why it is so important that you START WITH YOU! Because friends, YOU are where it's at in your stepfamily!
Oftentimes, we have high expectations and low communications when it comes to what we need in our relationships. Today's episode revisits a modified version of #39, where Bill & Jen share the importance of reducing unmet needs through the power of having a combined marriage mindset.
We reference the SYMBIS - Assessment throughout the episode. We invite you to take the assessment with us (it requires trained facilitators) so you can begin to build your Stepfamily Legacy. The SYMBIS is the first step. Check our website for enrollment opportunities or book a free, 30-minute consult to get started!
You know when you hear that mysterious rattle as you're driving in your car? Sure you do, it's the sound that mysteriously disappears the moment you attempt to explain it...well, reenact it, really, when you're chatting with the mechanic.
Your mechanic may raise his eyebrows at you as you hiss, screech, or make some other, "what the heck is wrong with my car" sound...but, he will listen. And...he'll pull your car into the shop to assess what's going on.
Bill and I propose the same strategy when it comes to your marriage.
When we discover the time is ripe for gathering specific tools to gain momentum and develop a marriage mindset, it's a good time for an assessment. It's also a great time to find others who have gone before you to help encourage and guide you along the way.

74 \\ Training Our Children and Stepchildren: What If We Could Get Our Bio Kids & Stepkids To Think Differently in our Stepfamilies?
00:45:35
What if we could get our bio kids and stepkids to do anything we wanted them to do? Would you like to know how?
SPOILER ALERT! All parents want their kids to do certain things at certain times, and in certain ways. Truthfully, instead of getting our kids to do whatever we want, it's more important to teach our kids how to think.
And that's what today's episode is all about. Bill and I explore fallacies, biases and propaganda. What do these three things have to do with blending families together?
That's where our expert guest, Kathy Gibbens host of The Filter it Through a Brain Cell Podcast, comes in!
Bad reasoning is everywhere! If it seems to you like the world has lost its mind, you're not alone. Logical fallacies, cognitive biases and propaganda are hidden in plain sight all around us.
And it you're wondering what on earth those words mean, don't feel bad...just a few years ago, Kathy didn't know what they meant either! Don't worry, she's got you. Learn more with a simple click here! But first, check out today's episode!

79 \\ Mission #002 - How Stepfamily Couples Prevent Divorce (Hint! First Say No To Re-Divorce!)
00:20:10
Welcome to Season 5 where it's all about doing one mission at a time to create a beautiful legacy for your stepfamily!
Mission #002 is all about preventing divorce/re-divorce. It involves 3 key things:
AWARENESS - Action is required
INTENTION - Daily investments in your marriage
FOCUS - Key, small deposits that protect your marriage
You can't do everything all the time, but you can do small things that create incredible momentum and prevent overwhelm. Your Mission, should you choose to accept it, it to DECIDE TO SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE! Action Steps for Mission #002
Begin the process of moving towards each other this way: How would you articulate your spouse's assessment of your marriage? What is their point of view? Invest 15 minutes today to write down how you think your spouse would describe your marriage.
Schedule time on the calendar this week to share your thoughts with one another.
Begin your conversation with prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to attune your ears to receive, learn, and adapt.
Have a great conversation with each other, knowing this is sowing seeds that will bear fruit as you nurture your marriage, together!
Join us in the Mastermind for Stepfamily Couples community to get answers to your questions, clarity on this week's mission, and an opportunity to be featured in Season 5! We offer real-life solutions you can start implementing right away.

Mission #003 is all about getting SMARTER with your goals: Specific—your goals must identify exactly what you want to accomplish in as much specificity as you can muster.
Measurable—as the old adage says, “you can’t manage what you can’t measure.”
Actionable—every goal should start with an action verb (e.g., “quit,” “run,” “finish,” “eliminate,” etc.) rather than a to-be verb (e.g., “am,” “be,” “have,” etc.)
Risky—a good goal should stretch you, but not too much. I go right up to the edge of my comfort zone and then step over it.
Time-keyed—every goal needs a date associated with it. When do you plan to deliver on that goal. It could be by year-end (December 31) or it could be more near-term (March 31). A goal without a date is just a dream. Make sure that every goal ends with a by when date.
Exciting—you should be personally excited about achieving the goal. If this isn’t the case, then you likely won’t have the motivation necessary to continue pursuing the goal when you encounter unexpected challenges—which you inevitably will.
Relevant—your goal should be relevant—or aligned with—your values, your season in life, and your other goals. Excerpted from https://michaelhyatt.com/goal-setting/

00:43:41
Ever wonder what your stepkids are thinking?! You're not alone, stepmom. We've got you, stepdad! The reason blending families feels so hard is because creating stepfamilies IS HARD!!!
From our guest: "We're humans. So it's going to be hard. I don't even fault my dad or my stepmom or my stepdad for the way they handled the situation. They handled it the best way they knew how; it just doesn't have a great outcome, but we're humans. So, it's a learning process. I hope by me speaking that it can impart some kind of deep pondering on to the adults listening."
Whew! Powerful words from our next guest, Terri Smith, Founder of Freshen Up and stepdaughter of two families who experiences significant transitions as Terri's parents determined how best to raise her. As stepparents still processing the impact of stepfamily dynamics, we appreciate Terry's nuggets of wisdom! Thank you, Terri for sharing with us on how to deal with the "stinky" situations of stepfamily living!

From Widowed to Remarried, with Stepkids. A Stepmom's Story From Heartache to Victory Featuring Wanda Patrick.
Blending is hard. It can take a little longer to understand that our kids and stepkids are struggling in similar ways we struggle; the challenges they face are somewhat similar to our own.
Meet Wanda Patrick. Wanda understands the challenges single parents and stepparents face. When her husband died, leaving her with two young children to raise alone, she didn't get a break between grieving and meeting the demands of single parenting; she was thrown into a world of heavy, emotional, physical, social, and financial demands. When Wanda remarried, she greatly underestimated the difficulty of blending families and bonding with three teenagers. She believed if she was good to her husband's children and her husband was good to her children, they would accept each other and enjoy blending their families. But you know where I'm going with this--Wanda was wrong.
How to protect your heart in the midst of stepfamily hurt:
Acknowledge the hurt is real.
Imagine yourself hovering in a helicopter. Check out the view - what challenges are your kids facing as they blend?
Purposeful prayer with your partner. Unity in prayer with your mate is the most powerful weapon you have to combat the hurt.
Get curious about the emotional response - experience anger as a clue that this moment, this relationship matters (see episode #55 for how to manage your emotions)
Practice forgiveness. God will honor your repentant heart.
Ask for help! Seek Coaches, counselors, therapists, & other stepfamily resources.

96 \\ Does Ministering to Stepfamilies From the Pulpit Promote Sin? Key Biblical Points of Grace Blended Families Want to Hear From Their Pastors
00:52:47
Today's amazing episode asks powerful questions about the church's role in ministering to stepfamilies.
Church Leaders: What if you (your church) were known for that consistent soft landing where kids felt safe to express their hurts about their broken families?
What if you were the church that could roll out the welcome mat and say, "Come on in. We understand that life is tough for you as a blend. We may not get all your hurt, but we get that you have been hurt and we want to let you know that you are forgiven. It's safe here. Come on in.!"
What if your congregation was known for welcoming and ministering to blended families?! What would change in your ministries & outreach?
Join Pastors Josh Groce & Bill Rogers, along with their wives, Kristy Groce & Jen Rogers as they explore these and other blending hot buttons and offer up some ideas about the theology of divorce.
What do you think? Do you agree? The church is a blended family made up of adopted people into the kingdom family where all brothers and sisters. By adoption, we are all brothers and sisters. Not because we were born that way--we've all been grafted in and that's a blended family!

00:17:50
Do you know what the weapon is, woman of God? It's Prayer! Prayer is a powerful weapon – the most powerful weapon in your Stepmama arsenal.
There’s a lot of talk about conspiracies, theories, and end times. Let me share with you what is NOT a conspiracy.
Satan is not a conspiracy. The Devil is real. Scripture tells us he’s the most cunning of all the wild animals that the Lord God had made. You know Eve’s temptation – Satan’s first of many demonic demonstrations of his one trick wonder in Genesis 3. When you diminish the devil’s power by dismissing him, he’ll take note and take advantage of being relegated to scheming behind the scenes.
Note: that doesn’t make him any less dangerous to you and your family.
This weapon, this powerful weapon of prayer strengthens you. Ephesians 6:10 says, “Be strengthened by the Lord and by his vast strength.”
If you're looking for answers on what it really takes to be a Stepmom, it's time to uplevel your game!
Do You Wish There Was a Way To...
Stop Feeling Like Such an Outsider In Your Stepfamily?

102 \\ Should You Battle an Ex-Spouse in Court, Again? What Happens When Your Ex Violates a Court Order
00:45:55
There are at least two sides to every conflict, and when it's between divorced or separated parents, sparks can fly.
As a special bonus drop, Jen welcomes co-parenting experts Diane Dierks and Rick Voyles. On Co-Parent Dilemmas, listeners ask questions like these:
What do you do when the other parent won't be flexible with the parenting schedule?
How do you respond to a co-parent who is constantly blowing up your phone with texts?
Is it really important to talk to your children when they are at the other parent's house?
And what about the parent who won't share important information with you about the children? Do you give in to the other parent's antics or should you hold your ground?
In today's bonus show, you'll gain insight into the mind of a judge and what things he considers when responding to Candace.
How do we know when it is time to go back to court?
Should somebody go to court and take the chance, especially if they have limited resources? We all know it is not cheap to go back to court and pay attorneys, especially with delays. It feels like you're shelling out cash right and left, and then, you get to the end of court drama & trauma, and nothing really changes.

Live Coaching \ First Time Mom and First Time Stepmom? How Do You Handle All The Responsibility With Limited Co-Parenting Authority and Confusing Expectations? #106
00:01:10
UPDATE MARCH 2024 -I invite you to check out our latest episodes on the podcast! I'll be sure to circle back around to touch on this topic again. Blessings, friend!
Thank you, xoxox Jen
Hi Loves!❤️💗💓
Today I'm bringing on Stephanie, a FB Group Member, for live coaching. As Stephanie worked through her coaching session, I was reminded of the extreme tension between having responsibility for parenting stepchildren without having the accompanying authority.
📖#106 is a journaling invitation for you to go deeper in your stepmama walk. Ready, woman of God? Let's go!📖✒📖
From different co-parenting expectations to lack of clarity in our role as a stepmom, we often find ourselves angry, exhausted, frustrated. and ready to say, "I'm Out!"
Can you relate?
As I reflect on my stepparenting journey, the first couple of years there was a lot of anger on all sides. 😡 Personally, I didn't notice so much everybody else's anger in the same way that I noticed my own. at that time, although I know it's difficult to go back, but at that time, I felt like I was the one that was mostly wronged or mostly taken advantage of. 😭
I did not take into consideration the trauma and the challenges that my kids were facing, both my step kids and my biological kids because I was so hurt and so angry.
Can you relate?
In today's episode, featuring the power of laser coaching, Stephanie does the hard work of discerning how to connect with her stepdaughter.
As you listen, avoid thinking about all the advice you want to give. Instead, ask yourself this question: "How does this apply to me?"
We're releasing the Stepmama Clarity Workshop January 1, 2023!! Get on the waitlist now!! Ready to Go Deeper? Let's do it!

For the first time, Brian Boxer Wachler, MD, a prominent Beverly Hills medical specialist reveals his own social media addiction, and because of his ‘in-the-trenches’ experience, offers 10 tips to protect your kids (and you!) from the dangers of the virtual world of social media. In his explosive new book, INFLUENCED: The Impact of Social Media on Our Perception.
Jen chats with Dr. Boxer Wachler, aka “Dr. Brian,” where he confesses he was so ensconced in the deep, dark, depths of all things digital, his wife and daughters held an intervention because he was more concerned with his number of views, likes, shares and followers then his family.

109 \\ Stepmom New Year Resolutions? How Women of Faith Can Build a Strong Foundation On God's Principles for the New Year
00:10:34
So you know how at the end of a year everyone starts talking about what's coming up in the next year, and you hear a lot of the same old, same old? Are you making resolutions? What's the benefit of making a resolution? There are all the jokes about the people who go to the gym and they only last a few weeks and you can't wait till they're gone if you're a gym person.
But what I want to focus on is the word. And what is the word? This is also very common where many people adopt a word for the year, and my husband and I have a word for 2023. What I thought was important for today's episode was sharing with you the word for Bold and Blended Stepmoms Podcast because this word is a driver for all of the things that you're hearing on this podcast.
How does this apply to you as a Christ follower, a woman after God's own heart; how does this impact you? How does this podcast help you in your journey where you may be struggling and frustrated and wondering, what do I do next?

111 \\ The Blame Game \ Inaugural Sacred Stepmama Shortie! A Saturday Grace-Filled Initiative for Stepmoms
00:07:19
👋Introducing Sacred Stepmama Shorties - Welcome to kicking off the first episode of this pilot feature!👋
2023 marks year five that Bill and I are reading through the Bible together. Each year, we choose a different plan. I've learned so much diving into God's Word this way.
We've just read about The Fall in Genesis 3. Know what strikes me? The blame game. Eve: The devil made me do it. Adam: She made me do it.
My takeaways, shared on today's pilot of the pilot program I'm starting this week on the pod - Sacred Stepmama Shorties, are these:
💥1. What happens when we are accused? The flesh reacts quickly, deflecting responsibility by blaming someone else.
💥2. Satan is sneaky for sure when he asks, "Did God really say?" But...the thing is...it's the same strategy he whispers to us. "Those aren't really your kids." "It doesn't matter if you withdraw." "The kids don't need you." "You are not the right woman for the job."
💥3. Forgetting God. Did Eve check in with God? Did Eve consult the Word when she was listening to Satan? Did Eve consult her spiritual leader of the household, Adam? Did Adam consider God's teaching, his commandment to NOT eat from that tree? Do you hear the gonging clanging empty of the word NO to all of these questions?
💥4. Did you notice that Adam wasn't somewhere else in the garden, he was right next to Eve? "She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it." Anyone else wanting a knight in shining armor to step in and protect this woman?
💥5. Finally, consider the influence of a woman. Do you catch it? The woman gave to her husband. Her suggestion to partake and Adam's acceptance signifies Eve's influence.
As you consider how you want to show up for 2023, I invite you to spend time meditating on God's Word. On his anointing and his appointing of YOU as the influential woman of the family he has given to you.
What will you do with what God has entrusted to you?

112 \\ Thinking About Divorce, Again? 2 Key Actions To Prevent Re-divorce From A Stepfamily Couple Who Married Each Other - Twice!
00:40:31
Listen, if you're on the brink of divorce, this is a story of the power of effective communication, hope and prayer.
Bill and I are no strangers to communication miscues. I mean, when you spend more than eight years together with somebody not even factoring in that you have step-kids that you don't know what to do with, you will have communication snafus!
Rick & Tess Scott are no different. His kids. Her kids. Their kids. It wasn't as simple as "just joining a new family." In fact, it wasn't simple at all. They married each other...twice. The "gap years" in between showed them 2 key actions to take so you don't experience a re-divorce. Listen to today's episode to find out how you can successfully implement them in your blended family.
No topic is off limits - from the guilt and shame many stepfamilies experience, to the pain and perseverance related to divorce, to the need for forgiveness and communication while participating in the power of God's redemption and praying together, as a couple.

It's time for another Sacred Stepmama Shortie. Are you ready for today's episode? Grab your journals and pens! I've got a good cup of joe☕️, how about you? Let's get to it!
How do you take what you learn in God's word and apply it to you when you are struggling with your stepmom role?
One word at a time, sister, one word at a time. And practice, it takes practice, immersing yourself in God's word. One of my favorite things to do is study scripture with other women.
💥“No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed. And you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me,” declares the Lord. (Isaiah 54:17)💥

114 \\ Interview with Mikaela Brown \ Exhausted From Endless Cycles of High Conflict? How Smart Stepmoms Recover From Feeling Emotionally Fried
00:25:39
Ok…it’s true. I am a habit nerd. I love studying how the brain processes intel. The thing is, our feelings, our emotions play a huge role in habits. Ever say, “I am too upset to talk to that person?” or “I’m soooo tired! I couldn’t possibly work out today.”
Stepmom, we must send ourselves new messages and practice habits that lead into the outcomes we really want.
Here’s the thing about habits. Each habit has triggers. In Stepmom life, there are lots of triggers! Want an example?
What happens each time your man’s ex sends a text to him?
How do you respond? Each of us will have a slightly different story to share. Our stories will likely change over time, too, dependent on how much energy we direct towards how we want to respond to a triggering event.
The thing about triggers is they are seemingly small actions that have catastrophic impact. The really frustrating thing about triggers is they are recurring situations which often trip us up. We think we’ll be ready for them…but…because we haven’t taken the time to process the last landmine that exploded, we step on the next one in ignorance.
Then, we sit atop the ash heap of wounding words, confusing thoughts, and Stepmom double think. You know what I mean? Of course you do. You ask yourself:
Did she really mean what I think she meant?
Am I overreacting?
Even if my husband’s ex crossed the line and acted as if she was still married to MY husband, did I imagine it?
What am I doing that’s so wrong here?!
What if…she’s right? What if I’m all those things?
And just like the crafty, slithering serpent goes in for the kill before we fully realize his thievery and destructive desires, we find ourselves in a thousand shattered pieces...scared to death that we will never be put back together again.
But God.
Today's episode gives you the clarity you need to move forward. Let's work together before it's too late. You are the head and not the tail, woman of God.

How do we know when love is absent?
The absence of love is darkness. ❌ The absence of love is lostness. ❌ The absence of love is foolishness. ❌ The absence of love is disobedience. ❌ The absence of love is meanness. ❌ The absence of love is impatience. ❌ The absence of love is irritation. ❌ The absence of love is envy. ❌ The absence of love is boastfulness. ❌ The absence of love is isolation. ❌ The absence of love is a clanging cymbal. ❌

116 \\ When Co-Parenting Fails in Your Stepfamily: Parallel Parenting May Be Your Next Step When Dealing With a Difficult Bio Parent
00:15:59
Is your blend like a fraction broken out this way? 92% bio-mom calling the shots and 8% bio-dad preventing an all-out war? How do you protect your kids when co-parenting is toxic, hostile, narcissistic, or otherwise threatening?
We start with the basics - defining co-parenting and parallel parenting. In our FB community this is a BIG topic. Let's talk about stepfamily parenting here and virtually.
😇 Co-parenting ✅ fostering a long-term relationship with your ex, for the good of the kids ✅ clear, firm rules about communication ✅ mutually agreed upon schedules, day to day ✅ parenting methods (parenting boundaries) are similar ✅ scheduled check-ins by parents ✅ scheduled check-ins with kids ✅ process negative feelings before meeting with co-parent ✅ firm boundaries for parenting and communicating with the other co-parent ✅ trust is present/no need for excessive documentation ✅ promotes respect in both homes ✅ reduces anxiety associated with two homes
😡Parallel parenting 🧨 one parent is unwilling or incapable of fostering a long-term relationship 🧨 communication is toxic, emotionally draining, and more about control than solving anything 🧨 aberrant schedules create decision-fatigue and constant changes which are disruptive for the kids and the homes 🧨 Parenting methods distinctly opposed to one another. Different beliefs, values, boundaries in each home 🧨 Toxicity, Grudges, Narcissism, and Resentment are the motivators for checking in - very different from co-parenting with the kids' best at the forefront 🧨 scheduled check-ins with the kids - but separately in your own home due to the inherent conflict that prevents collaboration with a difficult co-parent 🧨 process negative feelings before meeting with co-parent 🧨 focus on the boundaries within your home and the mutually agreed upon methods of respon

118 \\ Is Someone Sabotaging Your Stepmom Potential? How To Create Pattern Interrupts To Break The Cycle
00:23:18
Who is the Saboteur? What if it's an inside job, Stepmom? Self-sabotage is all too common! It's destructive, hindering, and reduces our influence in our families.
Sabotage begins in these major categories:
🔴Thinking – our lizard brains cling to what is familiar; they attempt to keep us safe. To our brains, new = unsafe.
🔴Fear – we don’t want to be rejected – again. Fear of intimacy, fear of failing, fear of all the negative "what ifs" can hold us back.
🔴Procrastination (or avoidance) you can argue it is a great short-term strategy, there's also a long-term impact, which is usually NOT something good.
Listen to today's episode to learn what you can do to establish new patterns to regain control in your blended family home.
Hey, if you're curious about how you can prevent spiraling out of control and create real pattern interrupts that work, come on inside the Facebook group. You'll get lots of support in there, and we'll tackle these things one-on-one. It is February, so that means new sessions for laser coaching are opening up for free coaching.

Ever had one of those "Monster in the Mirror" moments? You know, the ones where after screaming at the top of your lungs because your kid did something that made you livid, you end up in the bathroom, staring at your reflection in the mirror and asking yourself, "Who is THAT person?" That's definitely a Myggy Experience!

Becky effuses energy, joy, and optimism as she shares her unique method on how you can respond when Myggy shows up. Her tips include:
understanding how our internal narrative impacts judgment and overwhelm
embracing the gift of your amygdala signifying that this moment means something
discovering the difference between shame and guilt
identifying exactly what you may need in the moment -- to get through the moment (hint: Keep the humans alive!)

125 \\ Unbelief \ Sacred Stepmama Shortie! A Grace-Filled Initiative for Christian Stepmoms
00:11:36
A long, long time ago in a land far, far away from where I am now (but not too far from where I grew up), I was dating a guy and I just want to say he was not the right guy. In fact, it would have been really, really good if my parents had stepped in and said, "We are not going to allow this to happen.
Hey, what did I learn through this experience? I thought I had all the answers -- don't we do that when we're young, especially? But even sometimes in our stepmom journey, we think, "I have all the answers and if they would just do what it is that I know that they quote unquote should do then things would be so much easier!"
I was destined to fail in that relationship...and sometimes, in our stepmom journey, it feels like we are destined to fail. And I am here to tell you on today's Sacred Stepmama Shortie, we must believe despite the terrain that we are training in.
We must have faith. Get those Bibles journals, coffees and whatever else you might need to dive into God's Word today.

Are You Having a Stepmom Identity Crisis? 3 Tips on How to Survive Second Wife Syndrome for Good.
Shortly after a difficult resign-firing in 2014, my hunka-hunka and I, then dating, were sharing a glass of pinot on a teeny tiny balcony overlooking a busy part of a Houston downtown neighborhood. Sidebar story - After being wined and dined for almost two years, I said yes to a job 900 miles south because I sensed God’s leading me there.
The timing was off...but I figured I was right to go. Bill and I had gotten serious quickly, but deep down, even though I knew he was the man I was to marry, I was afraid. Let me articulate that differently. I remember specifically saying to Bill quite confidently, "I don’t want to hurt you, but I want to push you away kind of thing" and “I don’t want to need you,” (or anybody else for that matter).
Long after the fact I realized the leading was a teaching time lean into God instead of lean into the power of Jen.
Can you relate? Is there a time when you’ve declared your need for NOT needing someone?
Listen in for 3 tips on Surviving and what to do to keep the momentum going as you implement these strategies for Smart Stepmoms.

142 \\ Are You Excluded From the Family Photos, Stepmom? 2 Ways to Get Inside the Frame of Stepfamily Pictures
00:12:51
💣Are you ready for a pre-emptive strike to prevent what could go wrong on Mother’s Day?As this year’s secular holiday rolls around again, I feel my hackles raising up. I suppose that’s related to a combination of past hurts and unmet expectations.
If your hackles are raised too, let’s dig into what could be triggering us.
Here’s one for me – on a holiday designated for moms, no one thinks to take a couple of pictures of me and my kiddos. In fact, not unlike many other moms, I’m rarely in family photos. Worse still, there are special days during the year, like birthdays & anniversaries, where no pictures are taken!
📸Are you intentionally discluded from family photos, Stepmom?

143 \\ Innovation \ Sacred Stepmama Shortie! A Grace-Filled Initiative for Christian Stepmoms

How do you get innovative when your roof is leaking? Not that long ago, we had a leak in our roof. It was caused by hail damage. So we needed to go through all of those things that you do through the insurance and the claim and the hiring contractors. All during the time when the COVID crisis was at the beginning. So, you know, everyone was scattered and the availability was slim.
Tune in for your own dose of innovation, Stepmama!
#143 is dedicated to my sweet friend and co-laboring innovator, Mikaela Brown.

Jen's hunka-hunka, Bill Rogers, joins her for today's release.
Sometimes, we have the idea that we've "arrived" in the sense that we know how to respond to our partner's needs. Yet, it is easy to overlook the fact that our spouse is changing. As we grow together, the most important aspect of cherishing one another is acknowledging these changes and being committed to giving each other what you want.
Listen in for Three Things You Must Avoid To Get What You Wantand Learn what to do instead!
