One could say with motherhood, you know what you're signing up for - but you certainly have no idea how it will feel. As a Child of Divorce and Child Protection Worker with a background in Psychology and Social Service Work, Jamie Scrimgeour thought she knew what she was signing up for as a childless bachelorette when she decided to marry a man with three kids and an ex. But as I am sure you can guess, she felt like she had no freaking idea, and quickly found herself  in-over-her head. Finding a lack of resources for step moms, she created her own and now supports thousands of step moms in doing the work to show up as their best selves.In this episode, we spoke to assumptions her clients make of her and each other and unique challenges stepmoms face.  She spoke to the guilt stepmoms feel in typical motherhood spaces - the things they would be shamed to say and the cycle they get into trying to prove themselves.  She also shared advice for ex's and offered grace for dads.IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVERED...The dichotomy of "loving like they're your own" yet needing to "know your place"Things stepmoms are ashamed to sayWhy learning how to disengage without disconnecting is a critical, relationship-saving skillDON'T MISS-Questions every parent can ask themselves to gain clarity + intentionality moving forward as a family// MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE //Book: The Origins of You: How Breaking Family Patterns Can Liberate the Way We Live and Love by Vienna Pharaon// CONNECT WITH JAMIE SCRIMGEOUR //Website: jamiescrimgeour.comInstagram: @jamiescrimgeourProgram: https://www.kickassstepmom.com/I believe in you + I'm cheering you on.Come say hi!  I'm @parent_wholeheartedly on Insta.Apply to work together: parentingwholeheartedly.com/ApplySend us Fan Mail over Text.Support the showSTART HERE:CALM + CONFIDENT: THE MASTERCLASS Master the KIND + FIRM Approach your Strong-Willed Child Needs WITHOUT Crushing their Spirit OR Walking on Eggshells *FREE* - www.parentingwholeheartedly.com/confident

In her 20's Jamie met a man, who happened to be a father of 3 and found herself in the new role of a step parent. Entering into parenthood part way, with a role that didn't seem to have a lot of information and support, Jamie found herself frustrated and alone in the experience and decided to do something about it. Now, Jamie has a world-wide community of step-parents accessing support and guidance through the world of what is often painted as the “villain” and with some guiding words for us co-parenting folks, too.

There is a whole section of motherhood that has been left out. Your family in a blended family is not going to act like a first family. Stepfamily life can make you crazy if you want it to. A stepmom does the same thing as a mom but suffers so much judgement. A new mom gets met with tips, advice, compassion, and the village. There are many stepparents who have to go through this without feeling like they have a community. It is a double standard. Jamie Scrimgeour is wife, stepmom/mom to four kids ranging in age from 8-20 When she first became a stepmom, she quickly realized that she was in over her head. Disappointed in the type of support available for stepmoms, she decided to create the type of support she was looking for. Now, as a top charting podcast host, digital creator and Life Coach with a Specialization in Stepfamily Dynamics, Jamie has become the internet's go to for stepmom support.
