Summary
This week on The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast, I'm keeping it casual with a real life solo Q+A that goes beyond stepmom stuff but still speaks directly to stepmoms.
I asked you on Instagram for non-stepmom questions, and you delivered. We're talking about marriage, parenting a tween, simplifying your style, confidence, fear, self-esteem, and the one thing I'm truly at peace with going into 2026.
This episode is for stepmoms who are doing the inner work, building confidence, and learning how to feel safe and grounded in their lives. No fixing. No advice giving. Just honest reflection on growth, relationships, and trusting yourself as you evolve.
If you're a stepmom craving a slower, more real conversation that reminds you who you are outside the role, this one's for you.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Jamie Scrimgear. When I became a stepmom, I quickly realized that while |
| 0:11.1 | moms are encouraged to keep it real, there's a big double standard when it comes to stepmoms. |
| 0:15.9 | So, I decided to start the conversation myself. Thriving as a stepmom doesn't just come from conversations about being a stepmom now. |
| 0:23.5 | Here we dive into marriage, relationships, personal growth, and more. |
| 0:27.9 | My mission? |
| 0:28.9 | Inspire you to live a kick-ass life while bringing you along as I create my own. |
| 0:32.9 | This is the kick-ass step-mom podcast. |
| 0:42.1 | All right, hello, hello. Welcome to the kick-ass stepmom podcast. All right, hello, hello. Welcome to the kick-ass step-mom podcast. It is just me this week, a solo again. I just wanted to keep it casual. And honestly, |
| 0:49.0 | non-stepmom related, just do a Q&A. So I asked you guys on Instagram to submit some questions that were not |
| 0:56.4 | stepmom related, that were not asking me for advice, and you delivered. So we have a mixed bag here |
| 1:02.5 | today. And I will say some of the questions I have answered on other episodes, so it may feel |
| 1:08.3 | like a repeat for some. But I was thinking about this the other day. |
| 1:11.7 | And when it comes to, you know, podcast content and even some of the podcasts that I listen to, |
| 1:17.5 | like my favorite episodes on my favorite podcast, often they are just the Q&As with the host. |
| 1:24.5 | And they're answering the same questions that they answer probably every few months |
| 1:29.1 | and I still kind of like hearing it and I like hearing how they evolve. So we'll see. We're going to |
| 1:34.5 | dive in to the questions you guys submitted. So the first question is, do you think you and your |
| 1:39.7 | husband will ever move? So if you are new, I moved into the house that my husband lived in during his first |
| 1:45.8 | marriage, but we have been here. I think they were only here for a few years, and I've lived here now, |
| 1:52.6 | 12, 13 years. I don't even really know. So I think, honestly, if I really pressed it and said that it |
| 1:59.6 | was something that was really important to me, |
| 2:01.6 | Darren would eventually be like, okay, let's move. Like, let's do it. And I don't even think he's |
