In this episode, Lori, founder of Nacho Kids Nacho Parenting, interviews a stepmom who has been blending for four years, has one stepdaughter 50/50, and is struggling with fertility issues. Despite the relationship with bio mom not being as smooth as before stepmom moved in, stepmom is very involved with stepdaughter and said she considers her as her own daughter.  In this episode, we discuss the following: Infertility as a stepmom When your partner wants you to co-parent the stepkid Feeling like a nuclear family when you are in a blend When bio mom lies about your partner Moving into the home your partner shared with their ex Nacho Kids Academy Nacho Parenting Success Story: “I don't normally leave reviews but felt I had to leave one for the Nacho Parenting Academy. I had just met a guy that had kids and really liked him when I heard about the Nacho Parenting stuff and found it very interesting. When our relationship got more serious, I asked him to join the Academy with me so we could educate ourselves more on the method and other methods prior to physically moving in together. He agreed. After watching several of the courses, we both looked at each other and said, “This is genius!”. Needless to say, things have progressed in our relationship and we are planning to get married, and we both agree that once we get married, my role will not change. I will continue to be supportive of my partner, but I won't parent his kid. Thank you Nacho for giving us a great start to our blend!” ~ E.H.  

Today's topic is one I haven't talked much about before: stepmom infertility and the challenges around being a childless stepmom. Many stepmoms struggle with infertility and how to cope with being childless. I've spent a lot of time thinking about this over the years. And if I'm being honest, a lot of time trying to understand it all for myself. And coaching myself around my obstacles and mindsets, too.  Childless stepmoms can be childless by choice or by circumstance. Either way, it can be a difficult experience. But in today's episode, I'm talking specifically about being childless by circumstance - meaning not because you chose to be.  I'll walk through the challenges around stepmom infertility, including the challenges I have faced, and I'll discuss a few coping strategies that have helped me over the years. If you're struggling with being childless by circumstance, I hope this will help you, too. Are you enjoying The Stepmom Diaries? If so, please consider rating and reviewing the show.

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.

In this episode, Lori, founder of Nacho Kids Nacho Parenting, interviews a stepmom from California! Being a stepkid herself, she thought her blend with her husband would be like the one she had as a stepkid. Of course, this blend was nothing like the one she knew. Her partner and his ex had a casual schedule regarding visitations and stepmom thought it should be more defined visitation and pushed her partner to get more time with his kids. This is something she regrets.  In this episode, we discuss the following: Stepkid turned stepmom Partner feeling in the middle of step and other bio parent Coming in as super stepmom Food issues Some relationships are strained from the beginning Nacho Kids Academy Nacho Parenting Success Story: “I had decided to leave my husband. I heard a friend mention the Nacho Kids podcast. I chose an episode at random to listen to. In that episode, the host said, “If you leave this blend, the likelihood of ending up in another blend is very high. Unless you work on the issues in your current blend, you're going to have the same struggles in the next blend.” This hit me like a ton of bricks! I loved my husband, I was just tired from the blended stress. After hearing this and thinking a lot about it, I decided to work on our marriage! Thank you to the Nacho Kids podcast for reminding me my marriage was worth fighting for!” ~ C.S.  

I don't often have guests on the Money and Marriage Podcast, but this week's episode is the exception to the rule. I'm excited to welcome Alicia Krasko to the show. I asked Alicia to be on the podcast both because she is a fantastic resource for families with children from prior marriages, but also because she is exceptionally transparent with some of the financial challenges and hurdles she faced after getting married. If you have stepkids, Alicia will be an invaluable resource for you. If you don't, she has a ton of great insights about navigating family relationship dynamics and financial perspectives as you enter marriage. And be sure to check out my interview with Alicia on her podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/8-talking-financial-planning-with-bill-nelson/id1698216989?i=1000626785436 Alicia's bio: Alicia Krasko is a Stepmom Coach dedicated to helping stepmoms gain confidence and define their role in their blended family. She is the founder of The Stepmom Side Community-a private, off social media community for Stepmoms who are looking for additional support.  Alicia's story goes from a single life to embracing a blended family when she met her husband, who had two children from a previous relationship. Her initial optimism turned into a challenging reality as she grappled with her new role as a stepmom. As an outgoing person, Alicia found herself becoming a shell of her former self, struggling to find her place in this blended family dynamic. The lack of control and feeling like second best weighed heavily on her, causing her to question her marriage and even contemplate leaving. However, Alicia's story is one of resilience and growth. Instead of surrendering to the difficulties, she learned to embrace and work with the challenges, accepting that life wouldn't always be black and white. Through her journey of self-discovery, she transformed into a dedicated stepmom coach, helping others navigate the complexities of step-parenting and finding strength in the process.

In this episode, Lori, founder of Nacho Kids Nacho Parenting, interviews a stepmom from Idaho. She has two stepkids, with two different bio moms, and one child of her own. To add to the stress of blending, three months before this stepmom and her partner married, he had an affair with one of his kid's bio moms. Stepmom chose to forgive him and work on healing from the affair. When stepmom became depressed from the blended stress, she started researching and found the Nacho Kids Academy!    In this episode, we discuss the following: Healing after an affair Things changed after marriage Complaining about the stepkids Fighting amongst the bio and stepkids The art of re-engaging Nacho Kids Academy Nacho Parenting Success Story: “When my husband and I got married, we thought we would be one big happy family like the Brady Bunch. We tried our best to nourish the relationships in the blend between the stepparents and kids and between the kids. Nothing worked. It was horrible. Thankfully, I heard of Nacho Kids Nacho Parenting and joined their Academy. I cannot tell you how much the Academy helped us! We might not be like the Brady Bunch, but we finally have a blend everyone is happy in! If you are struggling in your blend, do not hesitate to join the Nacho Academy! You won't regret it.” ~ R.N.

If you haven't already listened to Episode 211, with Michaela, you've got to check it out!But before you do, I had this quick clip from the conversation. And this actual clip was actually deleted only because it didn't really fit with what was going on with the conversation we had in Episode 211. Michaela and I had an instant connection over a TV show called Instant Mom. Instant Mom became one of my favorite shows over the summertime because it was really, really fun to watch. And it has Tia Mowry, one of my favorite actors, who I love back when she was in Sister Sister.One thing that I've noticed is that, especially in a lot of the Disney movies, stepmoms have a bad rap. As a result, being a stepmom isn't something that we would aspire to be.I wanted to drop this quick clip on what Mikayla had to share about Instant Mom.Check out Instant Mom on:Paramount+: https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/instant-mom/BET+Amazon Prime ⭐⭐⭐GET ORGANIZED HQ⭐⭐⭐You're invited!

You don't want to stay stuck and you're all about new learning and growth.But if this does NOT describe you, maybe you're more naturally like Kim.  She tends to be more comfortable staying stuck in a challenge much longer than I am.  She has her own unique perspectives on how to approach a challenge and moves at a different pace than me.  Seeking and engaging in new learning is outside her comfort zone and she's more resistant to growth.The truth is that Kim WAS like this in our early years of blending.  Her "fixed" mindset and my "growth" mindset put us in opposition to how to move forward in facing our challenges.  And our different mindsets ended up creating even MORE challenging situations for us as a couple -  it was difficult to stay united and we were often frustrated with each other.But eventually, we figured out how to overcome our opposing mindsets and work as a team to make real progress in our blended family challenges.In this episode, we'll explore the importance of mindset and offer practical tips for cultivating a growth mindset (which Kim has used over the years).  We'll also share how we were able to get on the same page with growth while honoring our individual differences.You'll Discover:The difference between  a growth mindset and a fixed mindsetThe benefits of cultivating a growth mindset while leading your blended familyPractical ways to move toward a growth mindset - even if you tend to naturally resist growth or experience tough emotionsA helpful approach in supporting and encouraging your fixed-minded partner without adding pressure and unrealistic expectation Resources from this Episode:We mentioned the book Soundtracks by Jon AcuffReady for some extra support?We all need some extra support along the blending journey — we're here to help.  You can connect with us for a free coaching call to see how we might help you experience more clarity, confidence and connection in your home.  Schedule your free call here:  https://calendly.com/mikeandkimcoaching/freesessionSubscribe or Follow the Show Are you subscribed or following the podcast yet?  If not, we want to encourage you do that today so you don't miss a single episode.  Click here to subscribe in Apple PodcastsClick here to follow on SpotifyLeave a Review in Apple PodcastsIf you're feeling extra helpful, we would be so grateful if you left us a review over on Apple Podcasts too.
