Hey there, it's Jamie Scrimmger here, and you're listening to The Kickass Stepmum podcast.

0:07.0

I'm a wife, a mom, a stepmom, a coach, a conversation opener, and a BS caller.

0:13.0

Eight years ago, I found myself sitting on the bathroom floor, bawling my eyes out, wondering what the heck I was thinking, marrying a man with three kids and an ex-wife.

0:21.4

Look, don't get me wrong, I was madly in love. The kids were great. But being a stepmom is,

0:26.5

well, it's just complicated. If you know, you know. As a 26-year-old with zero experience in the

0:32.2

parenting department, I went to the internet for support. But I was disappointed with what I found.

0:39.0

So I decided to create the type of support I was looking for. Raw, real solution-focused conversations about all things

ass that I needed, to be quite honest.

1:26.3

So if you're not familiar with Beth, she is one of three moms and one stepdad raising a feisty little redhead.

1:32.0

And as a stepmom and a wife and a same-sex marriage, she struggled to find resources with content that she could relate to when it came to blending families and co-parenting and living as an LGBTQ plusQ plus person, a parent and a wife.

1:45.0

So similar to me, when she couldn't find the resources that she was looking for,

1:49.2

she decided to create the resources herself.

1:51.3

And I'm so happy that she did.

1:53.1

In this episode, we dive into inclusivity in the stepmom space
