Hey, it's Jamie Srimjure. When I became a stepmom, I quickly realize that while

moms are encouraged to keep it real, there's a big double standard when it comes to stepmoms.

So, I decided to start the conversation myself. Thriving as a stepmom doesn't just come from conversations about being a stepmom now.

Here we dive into marriage, relationships, personal growth, and more.

My mission?

Inspire you to live a kick-ass life while bringing you along as I create my own.

This is the kick-ass step-mom podcast.

Hello, hello.

Welcome back to the podcast.

All right.

So today we are going to be chatting about probably one of my favorite topics in

the stepmom space, something I'm super passionate about and it's

disengaging. So if you have been following me for any length and time, you would probably

heard me say that I think there is a right way to disengage as a stepmom and a wrong way to

disengage. And I'm not saying it's right and wrong for everyone.

But I think at the end of the day, a lot of stepmoms have a goal of, you know,

improving relationships, feeling appreciated, feeling like they belong in their family dynamic.

And, you know, we have dreams of how our families will, you know, quote, unquote, blend.

And a lot of the resources out there, a lot of the talk about disengaging, I believe, can bring stepmums further away from that. So when I say that,

I don't know if you guys have heard about the notcho kid method.

So it's like disengaging like notcho kid, notcho problem, like kind of like screw you.

I don't have anything to do with this because you aren't respecting me or you guys aren't doing things the way that I think you should be doing them or, you know, it's loaded.
