In this episode Jamie chats with Bethany Webster, author of Discovering Your Inner Mother, all about the Mother Wound. After hearing Bethany speak on another podcast, Jamie was forever changed. Discovering the Mother Wound filled in so many gaps for her about why she feels the way she does, and validated so many of her experiences with her own mom. In this episode, Bethany and Jamie dive into: What the Mother Wound is How it's a direct result of our patriarchal society How the mother gap (what you needed from your mother vs. what you got) shows up in adult relationships How the stories we tell ourselves stem from our early childhood experiences, and our relationships with our mothers How to set boundaries with your mother (if needed and desired) The shame and guilt that women often experience when their relationship with their mother isn't what they think it should be How to grieve the relationship you want, but may never have and more. Jamie also dives into some of her own personal experiences and talks about how Bethany's work has been the catalyst to so much personal growth and discovery for her.

This is my story. Sometimes when you want to look forward, you need to look back. I know that sounds counterproductive but it's the truth. We don't realize how our past, our childhood, the messages we've received, the trauma we're experienced and the unhealed wounds that we have, impact how we perceive the world in the present time. Often, to really level up and move forward in your life, you need to heal that past trauma and tend to those past wounds .That's what this episode is all about. This week I share my thoughts on personal development and what it really takes to make the change. I talk about how my experiences in my childhood and with my parents divorce results in anxiety, anger and control issues that I didn't fully understand until the last few years. This is probably the most vulnerable I've ever gotten on the podcast. Here we go.

In this episode of The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast, Julie Cole, mom of 6, blogger and founder of Mabel's Labels talks about divorce and her decision to adopt the "nesting" co-parenting style after she and her husband decided to end their marriage. If you're not familiar, "nesting" is when two parents are no longer in a romantic relationship, but choose to co-parent their kids in the matrimonial home. Each parent attends the home during their allotted parenting time and lives somewhere else when it is not. I just love getting into a peek of the many different types of co-parenting relationships and this one was no different.
