Jamie Scrimgeour
The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast, hosted by Jamie Scrimgeour, is a raw and real conversation about all the things motherhood, step-motherhood and living a KICK-ASS Life. When Jamie couldn't find the stepmom support and conversations shew as looking for, she decided to create her own.

With tips, strategies, mindset shifts and KICK-ASS Guests, Jamie’s goal is to inspire you to live your own version of a KICK-ASS Life while bringing you along as she creates her own.

An update on the ex, how to stop feeling frumpy, how I manage my home and keep it clean, what to do when the ex won’t pay for anything, getting your sparkle back, how my biggest insecurity encouraged me to get a boob lift, my fav stepmom resources - we are covering it all.
Plus, fast forward to our stepkids' weddings with me and see how I plan to handle that, too!

In this episode Kelly and I dive into confidence in sex, the shame related to sex that women often feel, the ways men and women are treated differently when it comes to sex, why the penis just sometimes doesn't work, things to amp it up in the bedroom, talking to your kids about sex and SO much more!

This episode has been highly requested in the past but I never had the experience to talk about it. That is until I met Michelle Wolfe. Michelle's stepmom experience is a little different because her stepdaughters bio mom has passed away.
In this episode Michelle shares all about her experience being a stepmom to a child who has lost their mom. We dive into her experience dating a man with kids and how that changed when his ex passed away, what it was like moving into the house they lived in together, how she has cultivated a positive relationship with her daughter while still honouring her mom and how she has found her place in her family.

You guys, LeAnn Rimes is on the show!
In this episode LeAnn and I talk about her experience as a stepmom. We dive into the healing that it forced her to do, how she dealt with her personal life being blasted in the media, the narratives that it created, boundaries, personal values and the feeling of being an outsider (which is so common in stepmom life).
Today is a good reminder that the real human experience is similar for everyone, famous or not.

This week it’s just me and I am going off the stepmom script and diving into the questions you submitted on Instagram. The truth is, being a good stepmom and living a KICK-ASS life is so much more than just seeking Stepmom support. It all starts with you.
So in this episode, I am sharing how I take care of myself. I cover everything from skincare, botox and cosmetic procedures, to dealing with PMS, healthy habits and finding your style. This episode is jam packed with all things stepmom self care.
Plus, I share why it is so important for me to pull myself together in the morning even if it just means 5 minutes and some tinted moisturizer, leggings and a cute sweater.

We are talking about sex! Yep, we're going there. Sex, porn, masturbation, and more!
Perhaps a taboo or too personal subject to some, but Dr. Jessica O'Reilly aka Sex With Dr. Jess and I are diving into it all by answering the questions that you submitted on Instagram. And you guys didn't hold back!
In this episode:
- Sex when your stepkids are around
- How to recover when someone has cheated
- Finding porn on your kids phone
- Masturbation
- Doing something that your partner wants in the bedroom but you are just not really into
- Fear around fantasies

- Why he didn't like me when we first met
- Whether he sees me as true family at this point

- The difference between my and Darren's parenting styles from his perspective

This is such a special episode… I am so excited for you to hear it and grateful that I was able to record it. A few months ago I told my stepdaughter Madison that some stepmoms on Instagram wanted her to come on the podcast, and she was like “I totally would”.
I never thought she would but then again I never thought to ask her!
I guess you never know unless you ask right.
In this episode we talk about what it was like for her having divorced parents, if she prefers joint celebrations, what I did or didn’t do right when I first started dating her dad, if she feels loyalty to her mom, what it was like when we had our daughter Reese… and so much more!

Bethany Webster is back on the podcast to chat some more about the mother-daughter relationship and how there can be shame and embarrassment around this relationship for women, especially around holidays and Mother's Day.
In this episode we dive into:

- The characteristics of a toxic mother-daughter relationship
- How our mothers unhealed inner child impacts how they show up for us

Todays guest is Dr. Gertrude Lyons. She is on a mission to rewrite the Mother Code, and help women heal their motherwound and debunk the myths of motherhood.
She is a Master Life Coach and Relationship Expert with over 20 years of experience. Through her Rewriting The Mother Code initiative, which challenges the traditional notions of motherhood and womanhood she has become a national mothering revolutionary. She believes Dr. Lyon’s belief, all women have a “mother code” instilled in them—the current model for mothering in our culture is broken. It is limited, constricting, and disempowering. She questions preconceived beliefs and leans into topics that will tap into the powerful femininity within all of us.
In this episode we talk about the myths around motherhood, how our childhood and cultural experiences impact how we view motherhood and how moms can and should write their OWN mothercode.

This episode may feel familiar for some of you… I am about to share the replay of the live webinar that my husband Darren and I did about six months ago. We called it our Blueprint To Improve Your Stepfamily Life.
In this webinar, we went through the lessons we’ve learned, the changes we’ve made, and how we approach our stepfamily stressors.
We talk about:
My decision to disengage
- How we think partners should respond when the ex-disrespects the stepmom
- What I did wrong at the beginning
- How we prevent arguments about stepfamily stress
- What Darren thinks that stepmoms need to understand
- When to have tough conversations
- and more!
This is a jam packed conversation

In this episode Jamie chats with Bethany Webster, author of Discovering Your Inner Mother, all about the Mother Wound.
After hearing Bethany speak on another podcast, Jamie was forever changed. Discovering the Mother Wound filled in so many gaps for her about why she feels the way she does, and validated so many of her experiences with her own mom.
In this episode, Bethany and Jamie dive into:
- What the Mother Wound is
- How it's a direct result of our patriarchal society
- How the mother gap (what you needed from your mother vs. what you got) shows up in adult relationships
- How the stories we tell ourselves stem from our early childhood experiences, and our relationships with our mothers
- How to set boundaries with your mother (if needed and desired)
- The shame and guilt that women often experience when their relationship with their mother isn't what they think it should be
- How to grieve the relationship you want, but may never have
and more.
Jamie also dives into some of her own personal experiences and talks about how Bethany's work has been the catalyst to so much personal growth and discovery for her.

Ashley Machele of Our Splendid Life is back on the show. You may remember her from our 6th episode back in 2018.
If you haven’t been with us since the beginning, I recommend going back and listening to that episode.
We talk about Ashley’s decision to give up primary residency and let her daughter go live with her father. We also touch on parental alienation and how she dealt with this in her own co-parenting relationship.
Ashley also shares how and why Parallel Parenting works for her family dynamic.
In this episode:
- we get an update on how the long distance co-parenting relationships is going (Ashley lives in New York with her husband and three other children and her daughter lives in Florida)
- how Ashley has learned to let go and gained perspective on what she’s really striving for when it comes to her relationship with her daughter
- the challenges that come with long distance co-parenting
- ego and how she’s taken that out of the equation
- the power of really understanding your children, how she uses love languages to foster her relationship
- Ashley and I also dive into social media and the struggle that comes with sharing your life and your perspective online when there are other players in the game
This was such a great conversation with Ashley.

This is my story. Sometimes when you want to look forward, you need to look back. I know that sounds counterproductive but it’s the truth. We don’t realize how our past, our childhood, the messages we've received, the trauma we're experienced and the unhealed wounds that we have, impact how we perceive the world in the present time.
Often, to really level up and move forward in your life, you need to heal that past trauma and tend to those past wounds .
That’s what this episode is all about. This week I share my thoughts on personal development and what it really takes to make the change.
I talk about how my experiences in my childhood and with my parents divorce results in anxiety, anger and control issues that I didn’t fully understand until the last few years.
This is probably the most vulnerable I’ve ever gotten on the podcast. Here we go.

In this episode of The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast, Julie Cole, mom of 6, blogger and founder of Mabel's Labels talks about divorce and her decision to adopt the “nesting” co-parenting style after she and her husband decided to end their marriage.
If you’re not familiar, “nesting” is when two parents are no longer in a romantic relationship, but choose to co-parent their kids in the matrimonial home. Each parent attends the home during their allotted parenting time and lives somewhere else when it is not.
I just love getting into a peek of the many different types of co-parenting relationships and this one was no different.

If you are in a high-conflict co-parenting situation this episode is for you!
I sat down with April and Loren Kirk, past high-conflict new wife and ex wife duo who are now best friends. That’s right - it wasn’t always this good with them. Believe it or not, their relationship and custody battle was so high-conflict that pick up and drop off used to take place at the police station with supervision.
Today, they are best friends and neighbours who now podcast and blog all about how they got here.
In this interview we dive into:
- What it was like back then
- How they went from being enemies to best friends
- Their advice to parents who are in a high-conflict situation
- The lessons they learned along the way
- and more

Episode 76: Debunking and Confirming Your Assumptions About me: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/podcast/076
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.

When COVID-19 started, amidst the ‘what the eff happening?” panic that was induced from all the stress, I decided that I was going to try and make the best of it.

I’m talking for my business, for my mental health and for my personal relationships.

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!

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.

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!

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!

This week we’re talking with the creator of the highly acclaimed online platform, Stepmomming. Kristen Skiles is a second wife, stepmom and once upon a time she was business partners and best friends with her husband’s ex - so she has a unique perspective to offer stepmoms.
Through blog posts, online support groups, resources and coaching services, Kristen works to show stepmoms that stepmomming is what they do and not who they are, encouraging them to embrace their unique roles and truly love their lives.
In this episode we talk about the stigma that comes with being a stepmom, what we find most difficult, the lessons we’ve learned and the importance of staying in your lane - something we’ve both struggled at one point in another.

This week on the podcast, we’re diving into a topic that is REAL for so many and one that is also accompanied with a lot of shame and embarrassment.
My good friend Jaclyn Shaw is on the show to talk about her experience with infidelity in her marriage.
Jak is a wildly passionate Soulpreneur + Manifesting Queen, who gave up living in one place to explore the world (okay, mostly beaches) with her young family. She is known for her real AF approach to life and biz, and for sharing hard truths - like her husband’s affair, and her healing journey from victim to goddess.
Jaclyn believes that EVERY SINGLE WOMAN gets to choose the next part of her story. And that EVERY SINGLE WOMAN has her own unique life path. We aren't designed to do life, biz, marriage, or motherhood the same.
Jak is an expert at leading woman to boldly step into their fears, to strip away the "shoulds" and unapologetically own who they are so that they can break through the self-sabotaging behaviours and patterns that are keeping them stuck.
She guides women to elevate in their relationships via 1:1 coaching and in her signature group program ‘INFIDELITY’.
She is also the co-founder of FEMME and co-host of the Spiritual Smackdown Podcast where she provides Biz + Soul Coaching for wild women ready to rise.
Now even if you haven’t experienced this first hand, you’re going to get something out of this episodes. We dive into owning where you’re at and the role you play in the dynamic of your relationship, how your childhood beliefs creep into your marriages and relationships as an adult, forgiveness and what that really means, following your gut, doing the work on yourself, and the secrets to a successful marriage.
I have to say I went into this conversation with one perspective on infidelity and forgiveness and left with another.
I hope it’s the same eye opening conversation for you.

Get ready for one of the most raw and real episodes yet.
This week I interviewed Rebecca Eckler about her tenth, and most recent book, Blissfully Blended Bullshit: The Uncomfortable Truth About Blended Families.
Rebecca Eckler is one of Canada’s best known journalists and authors. She is an international best selling author, has been a columnist at the National Post and The Globe and Mail and her work has appeared in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times as well as numerous magazines and parenting blogs across North America.
She is currently the Executive Editor of SavvyMom, a website for all things parenting related, and has won Best Columnist two years in a row at the Canadian Online Publishing Awards.
In this tell all book Rebecca opens the door to her own home and provides readers with an all access pass to her and her boyfriend’s journey as they blend households, add another baby to the mix (thanks to a reverse vasectomy), and attempt to navigate their new roles with their children, in-laws, exes, ex-in-laws and each other.
This isn’t a sugarcoated blended family novel where you’re left feeling hopeful and with fluffy strategies to help navigate your way. This is real talk, about real challenges and real emotions that only those who are attempting to blend a family can understand.

This week on the podcast I am chatting with Brandie Weikle.
Brandie is a host of the award-winning podcast, The New Family. Brandie is the former editor in chief for Canadian Family Magazine, and has also been an editor for the Toronto Start and Today’s Parent.
She writes a column called Modern Family for the Toronto Star, and is working on a book called The Ex Next Door: How a New Generation of Parents is Redefining Life After Divorce.
The idea for The New Family stems from Brandie’s own experience as part of a non-traditional family. She is amicably divorced and for eight years lived next door to the father of her children, even well after his remarriage to her boys’ stepmom. Now they live just around the corner.
In this episode, Brandie and I dive into her story, how she and her ex went from married to neighbors, as well as the touchy subject of how to cope when your family remains close with the ex.
I’m so excited share Brandie’s perspective with all of you… and I’m confident that no matter what your stepfamily dynamic looks like, you’ll have at least one ah ha moment from listening to this episode.

Over the last few months I’ve had so many of you reach out and ask me how I built my platform for stepmoms. You want to know how I grew this community and ultimately created a business doing what I love.
A few weeks back I had the opportunity to talk all about all of this on Kelsey Murphy’s Podcast, Whiskey & Work.
Kelsey Murphy is a speaker, writer and career and business coach who has worked with companies like Facebook, Google, Apple, Twitter, Toms Shoes and Gap
It was actually a huge honor to be interviewed on this podcast, because it happens to be one of my favourites. Every day I have people ask me what my favourite podcasts are to listen to, and this one always makes the list.
People listen to podcasts for different reasons – and personally I listen to get inspired, for personal development, to learn from other people’s successes and truthfully to get strategies on how to take this community to the next level.
The Whiskey & Work Podcast does all of this for me. But it’s not just for entrepreneurs, everyone can get something out of this show!
Not only did Kelsey interview me about my blog and online platform,
we dove into what was holding me back in life – and when I say that I’m talking about what was holding me back from being the best stepmom I could be AND from starting to create the platform and business that I want.
We also talked about my parenting values, my opinion on parenting by the book and how I stopped worrying about what other people think about what I say and do…
I’m telling you all of this because Kelsey has allowed me to share the interview on this podcast too… so that’s what we’re doing today…
I hope you like listening to this episode… as much as I loved recording it.

In this episode we’re talking all about relationships with age gaps.
A few months back I got lost in the rabbit hole of Instagram and stumbled upon Natalie Workman’s Instagram profile @hes25yearsolder
Since Darren and I have a 13-year-age difference, I was very interested in all that she had to say. Let me just say, it didn’t take me long to fall in love with Natalie.
Natalie’s finance Brandon is 25 years older than her. On her blog and most recently her podcast, she talks about all things age gap relationships; Including the obvious challenges and completely unexpected realities of being in a relationship with an older man.
She’s very honest when she says that the most challenging part of their relationship has been navigating the opinions of people.
She says and I quote “when we fell in love, we had no idea how challenging it was going to be to make everyone else fall in love with us too”
In this episode we talk about the challenges of dating an older man, our experiences dealing with other people’s opinions, how Brandon’s kids reacted to this relationship and the life lessons that we’ve both learned from hooking up with an older man with kids!

A few weeks back I received an email from a long-time follower, and amazingly talented stepmom blogger, Beth from Babbling Blonde blog.
I love Beth’s story, her perspective and her commitment to following her heart!
Beth grew up in small town West Virginia in a super conservative, rural dot in coach country, USA. About 5 years ago she moved to Pittsburgh and ended a 7 year relationship with her college boyfriend… about a years after that she realized she was in love with her best friend Jen, who had an incredible 3 year old daughter.
Jen and Beth moved in together in 2016, and Beth official became a stepmom in 2017.
Obviously being in as same sex relationship makes Beth’s story a little different than the standard stepmom blogger, so when she had trouble relating to what she saw online, she started blogging about her own experience.
In this episode Beth and I talk about all things stepmom life, including Beth’s transition from single and straight, to not only being in a same sex relationship, but having an instant family.
We also tackle her family’s reaction, what it was like to move to a small town where her partner’s ex had deep roots, her biggest mistakes as a stepmom. what makes being a stepmom in a same sex relationship even more complicated and one of the habits she thinks that stepmoms should break.
I love this episode and I just adore Beth and I’m so excited to introduce you to her!

After this episode, I can almost guarantee you’ll look at your sex life with a whole new perspective.
You can contact Kelly via Bliss Counselling

In this episode of The Jamie Scrimgeour Podcast, I chat with Kate Chapman of This Life in Progress, an online community for divorced parents and blended families. Kate is a mom and stepmom to six kids between the ages of 6 and 16, a Co-Parenting expert, an experienced Executive Coach, a widely published author and the creator of the highly acclaimed co-parenting program the Total Co-Parenting Transformation.
Kate and I chat about all things blended families and finances. It’s an interesting conversation because Kate and I handle finances completely opposite to one another. Darren and I merge everything, while she and her partner keep things completely separate. Not only does Kate share how she and her husband split finances (and why they do it that way), she talks about co-parenting in a blended family where the rules aren’t always the same for all the kids.

In the first episode of the Jamie Scrimgeour Podcast, my husband Darren joins me to talk about what the first year of our marriage was REALLY like. I’ve been told that our blended family life seems perfect. That’s just not the case! Sure, we’ve come a long way, and have worked really hard to get to where we’re at, but it’s far from perfect.
I often say that going from 26-year-old bachelorette to a stepmom of three was like moving another country that speaks an entirely different language. For us, the transition was far from smooth. In this episode, we talk about our biggest challenges during that first year including what we struggled with and what we argued about most. Straight up, this episode made me realize just how far I’ve come!
