In this episode of The Stepmom Diaries, Cameron sits down with Robin Breuner, host of Step Stories: Thriving and Surviving Life in Blended Families, to talk about the stepmom and stepchild relationship from a perspective stepmoms do not often get to hear: the adult stepdaughter looking back.

In This Episode, You'll Learn: • What Robin wishes her stepmothers had understood about her behavior as a child • Why stepchildren may need one on one time with their biological parent, and why stepmoms should not take that personally • How stepmoms can become a safe adult without trying to replace a child's mother • Why education and realistic expectations matter before and during stepfamily life Resources Mentioned: • Learn more about Robin: https://robinbruner.com • Follow Robin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stepstoriespodcast/  • Ready to feel less alone in your stepfamily journey?

Misty and her daughter Morgan talk honestly about growing up in a single-parent home — what it took, what it cost, and what's still unfinished.  Morgan is 39 now. She was 11 or 12 when her parents divorced — one of four kids growing up in what was, at the time, a pretty unusual thing among the families around her. In this episode, she and Misty sit down and just talk about it. What it was actually like. What's different about how divorce and single parenting look today versus 25 years ago. What nobody really explained to her as a kid. What she's learned...AND What is still very hard.  This isn't a teaching episode. It's Misty and Morgan, on mic instead of on the phone, having the kind of conversation they've been having for years — the real one, not the polished one.  ⚡ Somewhere in the middle of it, something shifted. Misty found herself sitting in real sorrow about what her kids went through — not trying to fix it, not explaining it away. And Morgan, on the other side of that, admitted it made her uncomfortable to watch. -ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈ That's where this episode ends — not because the conversation was over, but because it wasn't. Misty comes back next week to respond to Morgan more fully.  ❤️‍

Find out how to help at The Care Workers Charity ‘Get Involved' page. Adult social care in England is one of the hardest, lowest-paid jobs in the country, holding up a system that governments of both main parties call "broken" – yet keep declining to fix. The average care worker is paid close to the legal minimum, and the sector's vacancy rate is three times the national average. Into that vacancy vacuum, the post-Brexit Tory government opened the Skilled Worker visa route. Arrivals surged. Care workers became the single biggest group on the visa, and the UK suddenly hit RECORD NET MIGRATION! Over 900,000 in 2023. The headlines went wild. That peak became a political weapon. The state's response was not to fix pay or funding in the care sector. It was to squeeze the very workforce it had just imported. Care workers lost the right to bring family over. Sponsor licenses were sweepingly revoked, and thousands of workers were left stranded, often laden with recruitment debt, given no recourse to public funds. The media ignored the human costs of the cull they cheered on. In this episode, Mathilda and Helena are joined by two carers - Clementina Odih Okozi and Georgia Edwards - to find out the real causes of the "crisis" in care.

I've sat across from CEOs who carry the exact same internal architecture as a 10-year-old who won't raise his hand in class. The vocabulary is different and the stakes are higher, but underneath it's running on the same mechanism. Here's what I mean by that. Picture anxiety and confidence as two ends of the same seesaw. When anxiety goes up, confidence comes down, because confidence has less room to exist.  When confidence is present, anxiety has less room to operate. I've been using this metaphor for two decades now, and it has held up across every age and every context I've ever worked in. Most of us assume that seesaw belongs to childhood, and that somewhere along the way you grow out of it and arrive somewhere solid. That hasn't been my experience in 20+ years of this work. In teenagers, it shows up as identity work. There's a question running underneath everything they do, whether or not they've ever said it out loud, and the question is who am I, and is that person acceptable.  Anxiety at that age disguises itself as attitude, as withdrawal, or as an intense need for social approval.  In adults, it gets quieter, which in some ways makes it more dangerous, because we get very good at hiding it.  Adult anxiety frequently looks like overworking, perfectionism dressed up as high standards, OR like the person who can't delegate, can't rest, and can't receive a compliment without immediately deflecting it. I've worked with people who would never in a hundred years describe themselves as anxious, and who in fact were, but they were managing it with strategies that were extremely effective and exhausting. Confidence gets misread in the same way. We tend to picture it as loud, as the most certain person in the room, as someone who walks in and commands it.  Real confidence, the kind that holds up under actual pressure, is much quieter than that. It's the capacity to admit when you don't know something, to take honest feedback without spiralling, and to fail at something without that failure destroying your self-worth. It's the ability to know you're still worthy regardless of the need to "prove it" to anyone.  Inside this conversation, I walk you through: Why anxiety and confidence sit on two ends of the same seesaw at every age How anxiety disguises itself in teenagers, and why the stakes climb as the audience grows What adult anxiety actually looks like, and why high standards are so often the disguise What real confidence looks like, which is far quieter than most of us picture The moment anxious energy stops fuelling performance and starts sabotaging it Why the intervention with elite performers is almost never about building more skill ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dr. Shyamala Kiru is a former psychotherapist of 20 years and the founder of Kiru Psychotherapy Clinic and the Cognitive Freedom Method™.

Nobody taught you these 4 life skills, and that's not on you. It's crazy to me that you can go to school for 18+ years and still have no idea how to feed yourself, read a pay stub, or have an uncomfortable conversation without spiraling. So, today I'm breaking down those 4 life skills, realistically, so you can stop feeling like you're faking your way through "adulting."Topics covered:

Proverbs 22:6

To understand why people go “no contact” with their families, it helps to define what a modern family is. Rin Reczek is professor of sociology and co-director of the Center for Aging Families at The Ohio State University. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss two distinct family units she calls “compulsory kinship” and “democratized kinship,” how they have changed over the years, and what people can lose — or gain — if they cut off contact. Her book is “Families We Lose: A New Explanation for Family Estrangement.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Adult friendship doesn't happen by accident, it happens on purpose. In this conversation with Ashley, co-owner of our counseling practice and my best friend, we talk about why making friends as an adult is genuinely harder, why so many good friendships quietly fade under busyness, and what it actually takes to move a friendship from surface-level to real. We will also discuss concrete takeaways—things you can actually do this week. We will talk about: Why making friends as an adult is harder than it was in school and what actually work? Why friendships fade during busy seasons, and how to keep them alive without grand gestures What keeps friendships stuck at surface level and how to move toward real depth Practical takeaways for building, maintaining, and deepening friendships A real, honest conversation between two friends who run a counseling practice together Five key takeaways: Proximity repeated over time beats instant connection Be the one who initiates, even when it's vulnerable Lower the bar for contact; small deposits count Name the season instead of disappearing Ask one real question instead of five surface ones

Adult influencer and model Tae'ler Made joins the show for a hilarious conversation about relationships, loyalty, her past, and why she believes traditional relationships aren't always the answer. Tae'ler opens up about wanting to be in a poly relationship and explains why she believes bringing another woman into the relationship can actually help keep things exciting and prevent a man from getting bored or looking elsewhere. She breaks down the rules, boundaries, and mindset behind making that type of relationship work.  She also tells the crazy story of a dispute with her ex that ended with her holding his dog hostage until he finally listened, reveals why she'd love to be in a relationship with Kevin Gates and his wife, and reflects on growing up in Detroit and her days as a self-described former “crash out.” The episode finishes with an EPIC prank call you don't want to miss.All this and more on another episode of Everyday Is Friday!______________________________________FOR UNCENSORED EPISODES, BEHIND THE SCENES CONTENT, AND MORE, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON!http://patreon.com/everydayisfridayshow This episode of the Everyday Is Friday Show is brought to you by Jerkmate, the camsite that has something for everyone.

If you're an adult dancer, you probably know this feeling: the teacher gives the combination once, maybe twice if you're lucky, and then the music starts... and somewhere around count five, your brain goes completely blank. In this episode, I'm digging into something almost every single one of us has struggled with: remembering choreography. It's easy to write this off as a gift you're either born with or you're not — some people just "have a good memory" and some people don't. But I'm pushing back on that, because the research says otherwise. Memorizing choreography is a trainable skill, and it works a lot like a muscle: something you can actually strengthen with use, the same way you build strength in your body.I'm walking through seven specific strategies (plus one bonus for performers) that have made a real difference in how fast and confident I feel picking up combinations, whether I'm at the barre, in center, or getting ready to perform.If picking up combinations feels hard for you right now, that doesn't mean you're permanently bad at it. It probably just means it's a skill you haven't intentionally trained yet. And here's how you can start.... Follow Hannah on Instagram @thebusybunheadExplore blog posts, merchandise & resources for adult ballet dancers like you at thebusybunhead.comPodcast produced by Mission Bridge Media.www.MissionBridgeMedia.com

Helping a young person succeed can sometimes keep them from becoming independent.In this episode, Lisa Marker-Robbins and Jason Robinovitz examine how support can either build independence in teens and young adults or unintentionally get in its way.In this episode, Lisa and Jason discuss:The expectations young people face as they move into college, work, and adulthoodWhat individualized education can reveal about preparing students for life beyond the classroomThe tension between protecting young people from difficulty and giving them room to build confidenceWhy independence matters more than simply reaching the next academic or career milestoneKey Takeaways: Support should help young people develop strategies they can eventually use on their own, with the goal of reducing outside assistance over time.Accommodations can remove barriers, but young people still need to build the skills and confidence to handle challenges independently.Parents can unintentionally weaken independence by taking over homework, applications, or other responsibilities their children need to learn to manage themselves.A useful measure of parenting progress is whether a young person needs their parents a little less each day, even when giving them that freedom feels uncomfortable. “The problem is that the point of accommodations, in my opinion, is to help you get through something, but ultimately you need to get over your accommodations.” – Jason RobinovitzAbout Jason Robinovitz: Jason Robinovitz is the CEO/COO & General Counsel of Score At The Top Learning Centers, Score Academy, and JRA Educational Consulting, a family-owned education organization serving South Florida since 1980. A University of Denver and Emory University School of Law graduate, he began his career as a medical malpractice attorney before joining the family business. He has since led its growth, overseeing operations, staffing, training, marketing, technology, and compliance. As a dyslexic and ADHD learner, Jason advocates for personalized learning environments that prepare students for the real world, not just the next test.Episode References:Learn more about Launch Career Clarity at https://flourishcoachingco.com/course#002 Julie Lythcott-Haims on How to Raise an Adult: https://flourishcoachingco.com/002Get Lisa's Free on-demand video: THE CAREER IDENTIFICATION COMPASS: How To Be Certain Your 15 To 25 Year Old is On The Right Path to Launch With Confidence–Not Confusion: flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Jason:Twitter: https://x.com/scoreatthetopInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/scoreatthetop/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scoreatthetop/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonrobinovitzWebsite: https://www.scoreatthetop.com/Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

The WNBA continues to grapple over the meaning of the “W” in their name. The latest incident involving former NBA star Enes Kanter Freedom. Mr. Freedom ejected from Sunday’s game between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky.He was wearing a shirt that read, “Woman: noun. Adult human female.”Clearly, Mr. Freedom was trying to help the WNBA understand the definition of the WNBA.He made headlines with his recent decision to declare for the 2027 WNBA draft. Several other male players have also declared – by simply announcing they all identify as women.The WNBA says only women are eligible to play. However, they cannot define what a woman is – so Mr. Freedom decided to call their bluff.Proving the best way to address the absurdity of the sex and gender radicals is to completely embrace their absurdity.Enes is the bravest woman I know!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Adult burnout doesn't always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like planning birthday parties, paying another unexpected bill, dealing with a broken appliance, and still answering “I'm good” when somebody asks how you're doing.Episode 250 of The Heavyweight Collective gets honest about the quiet weight of adulthood. We start with family milestones, work stress, brutal heat, tight finances, and those everyday responsibilities that somehow turn every piece of “free time” into another task.Then we ask a harder question: when somebody says, “How are you?” who actually earns the honest answer? We talk therapy, burnout, parenting under pressure, and trying to process stress without handing that stress down to your children.The conversation also turns toward relationships and the invisible work required to keep a household moving. What happens when one person feels like they're carrying more? How long do you wait for promised change? And when does empathy for someone's trauma become an excuse for behavior that keeps hurting you?If adulthood has you feeling stretched thin, you'll hear yourself in this one.Tap in With US! Thanks for tapping in with The Heavyweight Collective! Make sure you follow, subscribe, and share with someone who needs this convo.

She studies why anti-racist professional development in schools so often fails to change how teachers actually treat students — and what works instead. Dr Abby C. Emerson is an assistant professor of Childhood Education at Hunter College, CUNY, where her research spans anti-racist and abolitionist teacher education, restorative justice, and the critique of whiteness in educational spaces. She's been named National Association for Multicultural Education's Critical Teacher of the Year, and this fall she releases her book, From Anti-Racism to Professional Learning for Liberating Schools, with Harvard Education Press. Most schools running anti-racist professional development hit the same wall: teachers learn the theory, reflect on their own bias, update a unit — and the discipline data doesn't move. Dr. Abby C. Emerson studied schools across New York City to find out why, and she found the fix isn't another workshop. It's handing the mic to students.

Jen Psaki takes a closer look at the bizarre devotion Natalie Harp shows to Donald Trump and her reported behavior that is not at all normal for a presidential aide. And the similarly abnormal role of Jennifer Hegseth, Pete Hegseth's wife, former Fox News producer and awkward shadow in the Trump administration. Chris Meagher, former chief Pentagon spokesman, and Ned Price, former CIA spokesman, talk with Jen Psaki about the glaring security problems with Donald Trump's aide, Natalie Harp, and Pete Hegseth taking his wife to work with him, and how the relationships undermine the trust of our allies and hurt U.S. national security.   Abdul El-Sayed joins Jen to talk about his Senate race in Michigan and trying to get his Republican opponent to agree to a debate. Brandon Dukes, a Democrat who won a special election in Pennsylvania county that Donald Trump won by 18 points, talks with Jen about the keys to his successful campaign.  To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

"Before you try to tell your kid what to do, you've got to look at yourself. You've got to really reflect on the things that you're doing." In this episode, Heather sits down with two remarkable young adults who have been part of her life in different ways: her 21-year-old son, Logan, and Brooklyn, a longtime family friend she's had the privilege of watching grow into adulthood. Woven together with her reflections, these conversations offer an honest look at what our maturing kids are craving from the adults around them and what happens when we choose to guide rather than control. They explore the lasting impact of feeling seen, the tension between protecting our children and preparing them for life, and the ways our own fears, expectations, and unresolved stories can shape the next generation without us realizing it. Whether you're raising young children, parenting adult kids, mentoring someone, or simply reflecting on your own upbringing, this episode is an invitation to listen with fresh ears. Sometimes the greatest lessons about leadership, connection, and emotional maturity come from the very people we've been trying to teach all along. What to listen for:  ☑️ When children live on their own and learn what "no one's coming to save you" means ☑️ Embracing uncertainty and what it looks like to have a safe support system in life ☑️ The privilege of suffering and how it helps us heal and grow more quickly   "Until I faced my shit and realized all the things that I need to overcome, all the overwhelming feelings and the fear and just all my shit, that was when I started my journey of getting through it and slowly chipping away at some big issues." ☑️ No matter where you go, you still have to face yourself and work through your shit ☑️ How the current systems are manipulating young adults into focusing on money ☑️ Experiencing contrast and navigating the projection of fear as a parent   "At the end of the day, there's not one parent that's great. Parents fuck up. We're all human beings. We're all learning. It's just a matter of how much you choose to learn." ☑️ How getting in touch with your emotions can change you and your entire life ☑️ Dropping our conditioning to open up more possibilities in our lives and careers ☑️ Understanding the only control we truly have in uncertain situations   "Just take the action. Like a game, if you take the action, it will happen, but you just have to have that consistency. You have to push yourself. You can't half-ass it."  ☑️ Knowing when to show support and when to hold your children accountable ☑️ Being present for your kids without judging their lives or projecting onto them ☑️ The importance of aligning your environment with who you want to be   *** For those of you who are ready to stop feeling drained, overextended, and out of alignment… join me inside the Energetic Time Management Accelerator, a focused experience designed to help high-achieving women uncover what's draining them, clarify what truly matters, and create a simple plan that fits their life. We'll pinpoint your biggest time + energy leaks, identify the top areas to focus on for quick momentum, and map out exactly what to let go of so you can reclaim your energy, your time, and your joy.

Zach sits down with baseball legend Darryl Strawberry and his wife Tracy for a conversation that has almost nothing to do with baseball. Both are on their third marriage. Both are in long term recovery, Darryl more than two decades sober, Tracy twenty five years clean. And both point to the same turning point in their story: faith. Zach wants to know what actually sits underneath a phrase couples say so easily, Christ is at the center of our marriage, especially since, as he points out, scripture itself says very little about marriage directly.What follows is unusually candid. Darryl and Tracy talk about the difference between humility and humiliation, and why fighting dirty means trying to shame your partner instead of solving the problem with them. Tracy describes watching Darryl in active addiction and reaching the point where loving him didn't mean rescuing him anymore, a moment she names plainly: he was too painful to love, not unworthy of it. Darryl traces his own turning point back further than the drugs, to the rejection of his father and the bitterness he carried underneath the addiction itself. And Tracy explains how she knew his recovery was real, not because he said the right things, but because his actions stayed consistent over time. They also get into raising nine kids across a blended family, the moment Tracy told Darryl to take his baseball uniform off and figure out who he was as a man, and what it actually looks like to stay married to someone you see only a few days a month.The reason to press play is that this isn't a highlight reel of two people who fixed their lives. It's a working theory of how repair actually happens: naming the wound before you can heal it, choosing consistency over grand gestures, and refusing to let ego, which Darryl defines simply as Easing God Out, decide who wins the argument. Anyone piecing a marriage back together after addiction, infidelity, or just years of distance will find something to hold onto here.Key TakeawaysHumility and humiliation aren't the same thing. Humility invites you both to the same level to find a solution. Humiliation is fighting dirty, trying to wound your partner instead of working with them.Trust isn't rebuilt with an apology. It's rebuilt through consistency over time, doing the same right thing again and again until it becomes believable.Unhealed wounds from your past don't stay in your past. Left alone, they bleed into your marriage and erode it from the inside.Recovery isn't only about quitting a substance. It's about dealing with whatever is underneath it, for Darryl that meant confronting the bitterness and rejection wound from his father.Loving someone in active addiction can reach a point where stepping back isn't giving up on them, it's refusing to keep enabling the behavior that's killing them.Blended families take a village. The Strawberrys say it takes nineteen people, across both sides of two divorces, to make their family work.You don't have to make love complicated. A home cooked meal, a card, or a phone call can matter more than a big gesture.Adult children still carry the wounds of a divorce they never chose. Being a great listener matters more than being right.Guest InfoDarryl Strawberry, former Major League Baseball player who spent much of his career with the New York Mets. author of the book Another Life. In long term recovery from addiction, more than two decades sober at the time of this conversation.Tracy Strawberry, Darryl's wife, a pastor who works at the Dream Center in St. Louis, a recovery home for men and women.
