Summary

This week on The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast, I am interviewing Stepmom, Bio Mom and Podcast Host Mindy Wender about her unique perspective on blended family life. Mindy and I dive into co-parenting special needs children and what people really need to understand, sending rage texts (and why it’s not the most productive form of communication) and how to properly deal with a high-conflict ex. She also shares how different her two co-parenting situations are (with her ex and her partner's ex) and how she navigates the different dynamics.

0:00.0	Hey, it's Jamie Srimjure. When I became a stepmom, I quickly realize that while
0:11.1	moms are encouraged to keep it real, there's a big double standard when it comes to stepmoms.
0:15.9	So, I decided to start the conversation myself. Thriving as a stepmom doesn't just come from conversations about being a stepmom now.
0:23.5	Here we dive into marriage, relationships, personal growth, and more.
0:27.9	My mission?
0:28.9	Inspire you to live a kick-ass life while bringing you along as I create my own.
0:32.9	This is the kick-ass step-mom podcast.
0:41.1	Co-parenting special needs children, rage text, high conflict acts, and boundaries.
0:47.6	We are diving into all of that and more today.
0:51.3	I have Mindy Wender on the podcast, and she is an entrepreneur, a podcast host, an autism
0:58.1	advocate, a stepmom, a mom, and really just a great human. I was on her podcast a few months
1:04.6	ago talking about stepmom life. And after our conversation, I was like, I got to get you on
1:09.4	the show. Now, as a mom and a stepmom,
1:11.9	she has a unique perspective about blended family life. And she has a completely different co-parenting
1:18.3	relationship with both of the exes. So her and her ex are very friendly and she adores her ex's
1:26.2	new partner, so the kid's stepmom.
1:29.7	And while on the other side, her husband's ex-wife, it is definitely a more high-conflict situation.
1:36.5	She also has two special needs children.
1:39.0	So she talks about her attitude around co-parenting children with special needs and what people really need to understand.
1:45.3	This is such a great conversation and we really dive into the importance of being solution-focused
1:51.3	when in dealing with a high conflict X. No matter what your blended family situation looks like,
1:56.6	I know that you're going to get something out of this episode. Mindy Wender, welcome to the podcast.
