Hey guys, it's Jamie Scrimter here, second wife, stepmom of three and mum of one.

And you're listening to my podcast, where we talk about all things motherhood, stepmotherhood,

and living a kick-ass life. If you're ready for raw and real conversations and are striving

to live your very best life, then you are in the right place.

Every week, I'll provide you with tips and strategies and mindset shifts to inspire you to

live your own version of a kick-ass life.

We'll bring you along as I create my own.

age difference ourselves, I was obviously really interested in all that she had to say. And guys,

I've been hooked on her content ever since. Natalie's fiancé, Brandon, is 25 years older than her.

And on her blog and most recently her podcast, she talks about all things age gap relationships,

including the obvious challenges that would come from being with an older man, and then the

completely unexpected realities of being in this type of relationship.

So she's very honest when she says that the most challenging part of their relationship has

Now, in this episode, we talk about the challenges of dating an older man, our experiences with dealing with other people's opinions,
