Ep 78078: When "Our House, Our Rules" Backfires with Chloe Caldwell

I have a question for you. What would you do if your stepchild came to you and said that she wanted to get a dog… and bring it back and forth between mom's house and dad's house. So essentially, not only would you be co-parenting a child… you'd be co-parenting a dog, too! As crazy as it sounds, it was the reality for today's guest - stepmom and writer Chloe Caldwell - when her stepdaughter asked if she could get a dog (that travelled right along with her between mom and dads house!) The outcome? Well it shocked her more than anyone and even landed her and her stepdaughter in the New York Times. In this episode Chloe tells us the story of her biggest stepfamily stressor yet… and what it taught her about parenting and step-parenting.

Naja is a Family and Life Coach, an author and the creator of the highly acclaimed online community and platform for stepmoms, Blended and Black. In this episode Naja shares how she recommends how stepmoms deal with disrespectful stepchildren and/or a high conflict ex-wife. While Naja and I have different stepfamily dynamics result in us having different perspectives on how to navigate some areas of stepfamily life - she is a great resource for so many stepmoms and even taught me a few golden nuggets. Speaking to her was a HUGE reminder that every stepfamily dynamic is different, and there are so many factors that contribute to the best route for each unique family. If you're dealing with any type of high conflict co-parenting situation, this is an episode you don't want to miss! Grab your copy of Naja's book – Girl, Bye!

E

This week I have a real treat for you on the podcast. I'm talking to Jessica Frew - second wife, ex-wife, mom, stepmom and co-host of the Husband In Law Podcast. If you think your life is complicated, well buckle up and listen to Jessica's story. Jessica and her ex-husband (Steve) were married for just over a year when he came to terms with the fact that he was gay. They stayed happily married for another 7 years until Steve decided that there was a side to him that he needed to explore and be authentic to. When they divorced, they discussed how they wanted their divorce and co-parenting relationships to look for their daughter and they have been able to stick to that plan! Jessica has been remarried for 6 years and now has two stepkids. Her husband Matt and Steve are very good friends. Infact, the three of them host The Husband In Law Podcast together! Birthdays, family dinners, holidays and vacations are all done together. The relationship with Matt's ex-wife however is a different story. Despite their efforts to have a good, stable relationship, Jessica and Matt have learned they need to set boundaries to protect themselves and the kids. In this episode Jessica shares her story and her mindset about life along with some really good strategies that have worked for her as she navigates this role. We also talk candidly about what it was like to know your husband is gay and how hard this step-parenting role can be.

Ep 47047: A New Perspective on Goal Setting

BONUS episode with Goal Setting Coach Jackie Carr. I'm bringing you this extra bonus podcast because I am REALLY passionate about inspiring you to live a KICK-ASS Life and plow through all the limiting beliefs and bullshit that is holding so many people back. Jackie Carr is a Goal Coach, a speaker, and the co-founder of ROCK YOUR BLISS a yoga and goals movement that's all about inspiring and empowering others to live the life of their dreams. She and her co founder lead retreats, workshops and training around the globe. Chances are this episode is not going to be what you expect from a goal coach… and I mean that in a good way. My hope is that this episode gives you a different perspective on what this year has in store. We recorded this podcast in mid January while we both were taking it slow and easing into the new year without going crazy on New Year's Resolutions. In fact, both of us still had our Christmas Trees up and hadn't set one intention for this year. In this episode we talk about having a toolbox for success when it comes to goals, changing our language around goal setting, what separates people who achieve their goals from those who don't and more. Jackie is a breath of fresh air… so whether you're crushing your goals for 2020, aren't feeling so great about them, or are still easing into 2020 I know you're going to get a lot out of this episode!

Ep 45045: How To Live a KICK-ASS Life Even When Life Is Hard

E

This is the last podcast episode of 2019, so I thought I'd end this season and this podcast year with a straight to the point, no bullshit pep talk on what you can do to live a good life. You may be like WHAAAAAA Jamie – last podcast of 2019. YES! We're taking a break for the holidays and to do some planning for 2020 but don't worry I will be back – We're planning some really next level conversations for 2020 so it will be worth the wait! We've dealt with some pretty tough stuff this year. Co-parenting struggles, legal issues, parenting struggles, family struggles, infertility, debilitating anxiety attacks … It hasn't been an easy year. But it's also been a really amazing year!!! Probably one of the best years of my life. When I think back on all the tough things we've been through this year, it's crazy (and amazing) that I feel this positive about 2019. Now, I've been thinking a lot about what separates happy/successful/content/thriving people from those who aren't and it really does boil down your willingness to own your life Here's the truth. This is a truth that I learned the hard way. Life is hard. You're going to have to deal with bullshit. It doesn't matter how people treat you It doesn't matter how bitter/resentful your ex may be It doesn't matter what your parents did or did not do as a child or how crappy your boss or your mother-in-law is or what people think about the choices you're making in YOUR life… Today in this episode I'm going to share strategies that I've implemented in my life to thrive amongst the tough stuff… I'm confident that if you commit to doing the same, you'll see a shift in yours!
