Our Marriage Rules: It's Not 50/50. Even With Stepkids Stuff.

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.

Stepfamily Stories We’ve Never Told. Meeting The Kids. Hiding From The Ex. What Happened When We Got Engaged.

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.

Responding to the Stepmom Haters

The internet went wild with hate recently on a post from the podcast where Darren and I told a story about the stepkids not being allowed to hang out in our bedroom. So today, I’m responding. I’ll read some of the comments I received from trolls, give my thoughts on the haters, and answer the question - is it okay to feel different about your stepkids and your biological kids?  This experience is going to change my content. I’m going to get more raw and real in this space. If there’s a polarizing topic you’d like me to cover on this podcast, shoot me a DM!  Get The Disengaging Without Disconnecting Masterclass www.jamiescrimgeour.com/disengaging  Work With Me. www.jamiescrimgeour.com/coaching  Get My Ebook -  120 Ways To Be A KICK-ASS Stepmom www.jamiescrimgeour.com/ebook  Episode Sponsors:  LMNT | My Go To Electrolyte Drink.
