The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast

2026 has arrived, and I think it’s going to be a good one. Not just for me, but for you.  Let 2026 be the beginning of your New Stepmom Era. This isn’t about following another stepmom tip. It’s about creating an identity shift. One that begins with setting intentions for what you truly want in your life, and then aligning your habits, mindset and perspective to bring it to fruition.  Join me January 21st for a live masterclass - How to Minimize Conflict With A High Conflict Ex:   www.jamiescrimgeour.com/masterclass Join Elevate: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/elevate  Subscribe to my Substack:  https://substack.com/@jamiescrimgeour Get My Ebook -  120 Ways To Be A KICK-ASS Stepmom www.jamiescrimgeour.com/ebook  Episode Sponsors:  Cozy Earth | Go to www.cozyearth.com and use the code COZYJAMIE for 20% off of your order Kajabi | Build the business of your dreams and make a profit - all in one place.

There’s nothing like a chat with Mindy Kyle. She’s one of my favorite stepmom coaches in the space and she’s also my business coaching client. We get real right from the start. I share a breakdown I had right before we hit record. We get into the stepmom advice I don’t agree with. The truth about adult stepkids. And the small but powerful tweaks we made to her coaching business that helped her crush her goals.

Dr. Tracy Dagleish joins me today to tackle a hot topic in the stepmom world: the mother in law. Her new book You, Your Husband, and His Mother is an absolute must read for anyone wanting to strengthen their relationship.  We’ll talk about how to handle a mother in law who is still involved with the ex, understanding the ‘family system’ you married into, the types of mother in laws, navigating communication with your partner about his mother, and dealing with the view the mother in law has so you as ‘the new wife’.  Grab a copy of You, Your Husband and His Mother + follow Dr. Tracy @drtracyd on Instagram Check out the conversation Darren and I had about these types of challenges exclusively on my Substack:  https://substack.com/@jamiescrimgeour Get The Disengaging Without Disconnecting Masterclass www.jamiescrimgeour.com/disengaging  Get My Ebook -  120 Ways To Be A KICK-ASS Stepmom www.jamiescrimgeour.com/ebook  Join Elevate www.jamiescrimgeour.com/elevate  Episode Sponsors:  Cozy Earth | Go to www.cozyearth.com and use the code COZYJAMIE for 20% off of your order LMNT | My Go To Electrolyte Drink.

Darren and I have worked hard to find a relationship structure that works well for us, and it’s definitely not 50/50.  Today we’ll unpack our marriage rules. You’ll hear why ‘100/100’ works for us, how we arrange responsibilities and schedules based around the fact that Darren is the breadwinner, why running our home like a business has made all of the difference, and how we navigate moments when we don’t agree on how to handle something.  Subscribe to my Substack  https://substack.com/@jamiescrimgeour Get The Disengaging Without Disconnecting Masterclass www.jamiescrimgeour.com/disengaging  Get My Ebook -  120 Ways To Be A KICK-ASS Stepmom www.jamiescrimgeour.com/ebook  Join Elevate www.jamiescrimgeour.com/elevate  Episode Sponsors:  LMNT | My Go To Electrolyte Drink.

Darren and I share some hilarious (and embarrassing) stories from the last 12 years.  Like the time I hid behind a fence from the ex, meeting the kids, dressing the same as the ex, the proposal story, and more about those early stepmom days. We also share more BTS from the "no kids in the bedroom" rule that made the internet go wild.
