| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the kick-ass stepmom podcast. I'm Jamie Srimjure. |
| 0:06.4 | Wife, mom, stepmom, life coach, conversation opener, and BS caller. |
| 0:11.6 | Seven years ago, I found myself sitting on the bathroom floor with a glass of wine, |
| 0:15.9 | bawling my eyes out, wondering what the heck I was thinking, marrying a man with three kids in an ex-wife. |
| 0:20.5 | Don't get me wrong. |
| 0:21.5 | I was madly in love. The kids were great. But as a 26-year-old with zero experience in the |
| 0:26.2 | parenting department, I was in over my head. When I went to the internet for support, I was |
| 0:30.2 | disappointed with what I found. So I decided to create the type of support that I was looking for. |
| 0:35.5 | Raw and real conversations about all things motherhood, |
| 0:38.6 | stepmotherhood, and living a kick-ass life. Life can be hard, really freaking hard, but each |
| 0:44.3 | week I'll bring you tips and strategies and mindset shifts to help you thrive amongst a tough |

| 1:08.9 | with questions on how to navigate the |
| 1:12.7 | holidays as a blended family. So the holidays are what the most magical time of year. But if you're |
| 1:19.7 | in a blended family, it's also another reminder that nothing is simple. Everything requires an |
| 1:25.6 | extra conversation and an extra thought and more planning. And if you're |
| 1:28.8 | listening to this, chances are you know what I'm talking about. So in this episode, Darren and I are going to |
| 1:34.8 | share how we handle the holidays in our blended family. And if you're new here, Darren is my |
| 1:40.4 | husband and I have three stepkids, ages 18, 16, and 13 from Darren's first marriage. |
