75. Can Stepmom And Mom Really Be Besties?

In this episode, I'm talking to a rockstar in the influencer marketing world, but one who also happens to be a stepmom and has one of the best relationships with her stepchildren's mom that I've ever seen.

Sarah Boyd and I actually met sitting next to each other at a dinner hosted by a mutual friend, Susie Moore, in Miami. And the more I talked to her about her family life and what a rockstar she is, the more I thought, I've got to have her on the podcast!

The mom of Sarah's stepkids is journalist and influencer Catt Sadler, and it's amazing how they have navigated their situation. I can't wait for you to hear from her.
