Summary
In her 20’s Jamie met a man, who happened to be a father of 3 and found herself in the new role of a step parent. Entering into parenthood part way, with a role that didn’t seem to have a lot of information and support, Jamie found herself frustrated and alone in the experience and decided to do something about it. Now, Jamie has a world-wide community of step-parents accessing support and guidance through the world of what is often painted as the “villain” and with some guiding words for us co-parenting folks, too.

| 0:00.0 | Hi friends and welcome to the papaya podcast. |
| 0:07.4 | I'm your hostess, Try and Hermostus, Sarah Nicole. |
| 0:10.5 | And each week I'm going to be dishing out some sweetness mixed in with some seeds of wisdom or something like that. |
| 0:17.9 | So get ready to get inspired, get candid, get real, because we are all in this digital |
| 0:23.3 | space together. Today we're having a podcast episode about something that I wish I had going back |
| 0:31.0 | six years ago, seven years ago, eight years ago, all around being a step parent. Now, obviously, |
| 0:37.4 | I am not a step parent, but I am |
| 0:39.3 | married to one. And also I co-parent with my ex. And it is one of those things that we're all |
| 0:45.7 | just trying to be respectful and good and nice. And it can be really weird and isolating to not |
| 0:51.6 | really know where everybody stands. And because it's so outside of that |
| 0:56.0 | cookie cutter picture perfect family that maybe we all grew up thinking would always be our reality. |
| 1:03.8 | And for many of us, it's not. And that's where a stepparent comes in. So I'm very excited to |

| 1:21.1 | mom event. I want to say going back five years ago or so. And she's somebody that I just think is |
| 1:31.1 | having the conversations that not a lot of people are openly having. She's a stepmom herself. |
| 1:35.9 | And we're going to welcome her to the show and have all of the questions, have all of the |
| 1:40.7 | conversation and hopefully all come away learning some things whether you are a step |
| 1:46.0 | parent, partner to a step parent, know a step parent interacting with the world, then I mean, |
| 1:55.3 | I think we all know a step parent in our lives. And maybe it's a great time to just sit and talk with |
| 2:00.1 | one and learn a little bit more |
| 2:01.8 | about their experience away from the villain of the stepmom that we all kind of grew up seeing |
