There’s a strange kind of grief that comes from outgrowing something you once prayed would work.

Especially when that thing carries your voice.
Your ideas.
Your late nights.
Your creativity.
Your identity.

A podcast can absolutely grow your business.
But sometimes what started as purpose slowly turns into pressure.
What once energized you begins draining you.
And eventually, you’re forced to ask harder questions than:
“How do I grow this thing?”

Questions like:
Does this still fit who I’ve become?
Am I building this from alignment… or obligation?
Have I outgrown the way I’ve been creating?

In this episode, I’m talking about:

  • podfade
  • podcast burnout
  • losing passion for your show
  • monetization frustration
  • audience expectations
  • pivoting your podcast
  • and the tension entrepreneurs feel when they’ve built something successful… but no longer feel fully connected to it

I’m also sharing some of the deeper questions I’ve personally been wrestling with behind the mic over the last several months.

Because sometimes the hardest part of podcasting isn’t launching a show.

Sometimes it’s being honest about whether the version you built still fits the person you’re becoming.

At recording, I’m staring down the barrel of the “no-episode-in-the-hopper” situation, but for the best reason possible.

I’ve been completely consumed by Substack—and the numbers prove why. In less than two months, I’ve generated over $6,000 without the soul-sucking grind of traditional social media.

And I'm just getting started.

And so are my clients.

That's why I'm risking putting a link in the show notes to get your sweet self over there.

Here it is.

Are you tired of feeling like you’re working for your business instead of your business working for you?

You know the exact feeling.

You sit down at your desk. Coffee in hand. You are ready to record that killer podcast episode or follow up with those hot leads.

But then… wait, where did you write down those bullet points? What folder did you save that pitch list under? You start clicking through open Chrome tabs. You search your Google Drive.

Your chest tightens. Your cortisol spikes. You spend 30 minutes just looking for the thing you need to do the task. Suddenly, your creative energy - drained -before you even hit record.

I call this the Expert Loser’s Tax.

It’s the silent, soul-sucking penalty you pay when your genius is buried under digital and physical chaos. It’s costing you clients, time, revenue, and your sanity.

My guest today is professional organizer Tracy Hoth, and she is not here to tell you to go to Target and buy more cute plastic bins. (Hallelujah.)

We dig into her brilliantly simple S.P.A.C.E. method, the emotional weight of letting go of old systems, and how to finally stop burning out your brain on decision fatigue.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

  • The “Expert Loser’s Tax”: How the hidden friction in your workflow is actively costing you clients and skyrocketing your stress hormones.
  • The S.P.A.C.E. Method: The 5-step framework to organize absolutely anything—from a hoarded garage to podcast guesting workflow.
  • The “Wonderful One” Rule: Why scattering your ideas across 14 notebooks and build one single, reliable home for your brain is strategy.
  • Sorting vs. Strategy: Why your first step when things feel “broken” is always to sort, never to buy more software.

You don't need to sell mattresses on your podcast.

The idea that you need massive ad revenue or a “buy me a coffee” link to monetize is the exact myth keeping brilliant business owners broke.

In this episode of Simplify Podcasting, I’m putting my recovered-CPA hat on to break down the cold, hard math between direct and indirect income. Because if you want to make actual money podcasting, you need to know the difference.

Listen to me: Relying on skipped ads and local sponsorships might buy your groceries, but they aren’t paying your mortgage.

If you want to turn your show into an automated client acquisition engine, you have to adopt my Core Conviction: Sell your own stuff.

Today, we are digging into why you only need 100 loyal listeners to start generating real business revenue, and exactly how to walk those listeners through the 5 crucial stages of the Listener Journey.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • The critical difference between direct and indirect podcast income.
  • Why the 100-listener strategy beats the 10,000-download ad trap every single time.
  • The 5 stages of the Listener Journey: from the awkward “Blind Date” to cultivating Brand Evangelists who do your marketing for you.
  • How to align your podcast episodes directly with your upcoming offers so selling feels seamless.

Ready to stop burning leads and start making money?

Wait… is it actually possible to collaborate with yourself?

Yes, sweet podcasting fried, yes, it is.

Confession time: I haven’t been entirely unfaithful to my social media platforms lately… but I have absolutely been giving them the cold shoulder.

And..It feels spectacular!

  • If you are sick to your stomach watching your visibility tank on Instagram…
  • If you are over the soul-sucking demand to perform in reels just to appease a robotic algorithm…
  • If you just want to share your brilliant, high-level expertise… grab your cookies and coffee. You are going to devour this episode.

After five years plus of running this podcast, I gave myself permission to get curious again. I ditched some of the rules of what we're "supposed to do" and went all-in on Substack to launch something brand new.

But here’s the intriguing part: I completely broke my own strict podcast launch protocols to do it. (I know. The audacity.)

In this unique “self-collaboration” episode, I'm dropping a direct segment from my new audio project. I’m sharing why Substack is the ultimate high-trust playground for elite experts and podcasters, and the specific, cardinal rule I blatantly violated when I hit “publish.”

Inside, we’re unpacking:

  • The Social Media Freeze-Out: Why I am actively giving the algorithms the cold shoulder to build a high-leverage, low-burnout audio ecosystem.
  • The Rule-Breaker Launch: How my messy, zero-fanfare, no-launch-team Substack debut pulled 41 highly qualified downloads in 48 hours.
  • The “Unforgettable” Formula: 3 tiny, immediate tweaks you can make today to turn your show into a memorable, referable, and profitable machine.
  • The Conversion Killer: The sneaky “offer blind spot” you probably have right now that is actively training your listeners never to buy from you.

Every single day you delay fixing your podcast strategy is another day you are trapped competing in an exhausting, low-return rat race. You have elite expertise. It is time your audio did the heavy lifting for your business.

The Big Questions That Keep New Podcasters Stuck: Every week, I have similar conversations with prospective podcast clients. They come to me with a massive list of “to-dos” and a whole lot of overwhelm from the pressure to do way more than necessary to launch.

And every single week, my answer is the same: You’re overcomplicating it.

Podcasting shouldn’t add twenty hours of work to your week. It should be a high-leverage tool that turns listeners into leads. In this episode, we're stripping away the “shoulds”—like the pressure to do video—and answering the most common questions I get from people who are ready to launch but tired of the noise.

Here's what's inside:

  • The Case for Audio-First: Why you can give yourself full permission to skip the video setup and why audio actually builds deeper trust.
  • The “What Should I Talk About?” Solution: Instead of brainstorming, look at your client wins and common hurdles. You can pull content directly from the conversations you’re already having.
  • The Editing Debate: Do you really need to edit? I’ll tell you why I say “yes” every single time, even for live workshops, and the tool I’ve used for years to make it fast.
  • The Strategy Before the Gear: You don’t need a high-end microphone but you do need a purpose. Before you spend a dime, I’m giving you the one question you have to answer FIRST.

Resources Mentioned:

  • The Podcast Health Checkup: Before you launch or relaunch, set your foundation for a successful, monetized podcast.
  • Book a Strategy Consult: Unsure if podcasting is the right next step for your specific business? Book a complimentary consult.
  • Join Jen on Substack: Learn more about how to monetize and launch

If I could magically swap your voice on your podcast with someone else's, would anything actually change?

Listen, if your voice is replaceable, that means that means YOU are replaceable!

I’ve been watching brilliant experts completely water down their genius just to sound “professional.” The result? Episodes that feel sterile, boring, and suspiciously like they were generated by a robot. I’m not necessarily saying you’re using AI to write your episodes, but I am saying you might be falling into the trap of overly polished, perfectly generic podcasting that drives your listeners bonkers.

Today, I’m staging an audio intervention. I’m breaking down the 8 subtle traps that make your show feel bland and ignorable, including why your "too perfect" transitions and hypothetical stories are the most dangerous thing you can do for your bottom line.

You can't monetize your podcast if you're listeners are bailing from boredom.

These 8 traps are actively costing you connection, conversions, and recurring clients.

Want specific examples of how to create genuine engagement?

Go pull up your last podcast episode right now and listen to the first 30 seconds.

Did you start it with something like: “Hey guys! Welcome back! I’m so excited to be here today!”

If you did… ouch. We need to talk. Because you are literally opening the gate and telling your highest-paying clients to turn around and leave.

Listen to me: You are bending over backwards trying to be the “nice expert.” You want to be liked. You want to sound friendly and welcoming. And meanwhile, your downloads might be ticking up, but your bank account is completely flat lining.

Why? Because high-ticket clients don’t pay thousands of dollars to hire a “friendly podcast host.” They pay to hire an absolute Authority.

In this episode, I lovingly call out the BS of the “polite intro.” I’m breaking down the exact 30-second mistake that is tanking your conversions before you even get to the good stuff. I’m going to read you two examples of the exact same episode intro: One that acts as a “Polite Repellent” and one that is a pure “Authority Magnet.”

(Wait until you hear how bad the first one is… and then check to see if you’re doing the exact same thing.)

In this episode, we’re covering:

  • The “Polite Repellent”: Why the “I’m so excited!” intro is officially dead, and why it’s accidentally training your listeners not to buy from you.
  • The Friend vs. Advisor Trap: Why being universally “liked” is keeping you broke, and how to command a room instead.
  • The 30-Second Rule: How to grab your listener’s attention immediately so they realize they need to hire you yesterday.

Stop being the welcome committee. Start being the Advisor. If you’re ready to see exactly why your intro is costing you thousands in lost revenue, hit play. Then, Get profitable in PRO!

Are you exhausted? Like, bone-deep, “if I have to try and go viral on video one more time I’m going to scream” exhausted?

Yeah. I see you.

The online space has been feeding us a giant, heavy lie: that to have a successful podcast, you need to be EVERYWHERE. That you need the fancy music, the perfectly polished video clips, and that you need to hustle yourself into burnout just to chase a vanity metrics.

And you know what that hustle actually does? It completely steals your confidence.

You end up frozen in analysis paralysis, or you get caught up tweaking your website for the 47th time this week instead of using your voice for impact.

Somewhere along the way, you were sold a version of podcasting that has nothing to do with your voice and everything to do with performance.

Be everywhere.
Post constantly.
Polish everything.
Chase the metrics.

And if it’s not working? Try harder.

So you do and then you recognize you’re performing for approval.

And that? That’s the fastest way to lose your confidence. Today, we are stopping the madness; we need a massive reset on how we approach our shows with the Mic Drop Mastery Method.

The Method is NOT vanity centric. It's your invitation to officially ditch the performative, vanity-driven, content-treadmill exhaustion right now.

When you get back to the substance-over-style podcasting that connects and converts, your confidence comes back. Start with this episode.

If you’re ready to stop performing for algorithms and start stepping confidently into your true message… hit play.

You sit 18 inches away from your listener’s heart, but if your podcast isn’t converting, you’re miles away from their wallet.

The industry loves to yell at us to take “messy action.” But if you’ve built a successful business and a premium reputation, messy action isn’t marketing, it’s a massive brand liability.

Today, I’m taking you inside a luxury, old-world Italian restaurant in Houston to show you exactly what true Authority feels like. Then, we are running a rigorous, no-nonsense Podcast Strategy Audit on your own show.

We are dragging three hidden Conversion Liabilities out into the light. These blind spots actively repel your ideal clients, undermine your reputation, and cost you thousands in invisible lost sales.

The Big 3 Liabilities:

  • The Commodity Trap: Why hiding behind a “professional” mask and sharing safe tips is actively making you boring.
  • The Spaghetti Content: The brand-diluting danger of waking up on recording day and just guessing what to talk about.
  • The Awkward Pitch: Why changing your tone of voice to “sell” instantly shatters the intimacy you just spent 20 minutes building.

Remove these liabilities and watch your podcast morph from an expensive vanity project into your most lethal sales asset.

Stop winging it, and let’s get to work:

1. Build Your Authority:

What if the biggest threat to your podcast isn’t audience fatigue…
is the guest you’re letting hold your microphone hostage?

Not your audio quality.
Not the algorithm.
Not your tech stack.

Your lack of command.

“Just letting the conversation flow naturally” is the fastest way to kill your podcast monetization.

When you surrender control of the interview to a rambling guest, you betray the trust of your listeners.

To step into true Mic Drop Mastery, the kind of unquestionable authority that turns a chaotic conversation into a highly leveraged asset, you have to stop playing the passive host and start operating like a strategist.

🎤︎︎ Listen for:

  • The tactical redirects to use when a conversation goes off the rails (and how to save the episode)
  • How a 5-minute pre-interview drill gives you the leverage to lead elite, high-stakes conversations
  • Why “authentic,” unedited chats are secretly destroying your authority
  • The single rule about Calls to Action that drives profitability

This one is about you taking back the mic. Not to stifle your guest but to protect the mission and monetization of your podcast.

Resources Mentioned:

  • The 5-Minute Interview Excellence Checklist: Grab the free PDF download (no opt-in required) to keep at your desk so you never lose control of an interview again.

Your first 20 episodes felt like throwing spaghetti at the wall.
Same for Alex Sanfilippo.

Same for most of us.
The difference? What you do next.

Alex is back (PodMatch founder, 381+ episodes deep, 2,200+ interviews under his belt) and this time we’re going deeper into this: how to structure episodes people finish, pitch yourself onto shows without becoming inbox spam, and monetize without making your listeners cringe.

Oh—and stick around to the end. Alex delivers a mic drop moment that hit every single person in the room. Including me.

🎤︎︎ Mic Drop Goodness Inside:

Your First 20 Episodes Aren’t a Waste (they’re data)

  • Why listener feedback changes everything (and how to go get it)
  • Story arc editing that keeps people listening instead of bouncing
  • Tweaks Alex made that turned messy early episodes into a monetization-ready show

Guest Pitching Without the Ick (Alex’s 6-Step Human Framework)

  • Why AI pitches get trashed in 10 seconds flat
  • The 5-star review move that instantly separates you from the robot pile
  • How to spot content gaps, make meaningful requests, and turn a “no” into a future “yes”

Monetize Your Guest Experience Without Sounding Like a Used Car Salesman

  • Dynamic insertion that surprises instead of annoys
  • One CTA. That’s the whole strategy.
  • Evergreen links that still work years later (learn from Alex’s 404 mistake)

What if the only thing standing between your podcast and its next level…
is how you’re thinking about it?

Not your mic.
Not the algorithm.
Not your download numbers.

Your thinking.

In this episode, I’m walking you through six shifts that expand your belief as you step into undeniable authority.

Because when you settle for what feels reasonable, you cap what’s possible.

And most podcasters aren’t stuck because they lack skill.
They’re stuck because they’ve accepted a smaller vision.

So we need to talk about:

  • The subtle way we cap our own expansion
  • Why having content is not the same as having leverage
  • One seemingly small moment that can change your approach to growth
  • The difference between expert guidance and creative confinement
  • The one adjustment that makes dreaming bigger feel doable
  • Why downloads are only one small piece of the equation

This one is about lifting the ceiling.

Not ten feet.
Just one size.

The Bigger Picture

Podcast growth isn’t about chasing downloads.

It’s about building memorability. Referability, and Profitability.

When you expand belief, authority follows.

What if the reason you’re invisible online has nothing to do with more social posts, downloads, or visibility hacks… and everything to do with missing authority signals?

I’m interviewing Dr. Trudy Beerman, CEO and host of Profitable Social Influence TV (PSI TV), and unpacking why credible experts feel ghosted online. Even when they crush it offline.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

  • Why “big fish in small ponds” flop online (how the internet ignores you without digital proof)
  • How podcast downloads build nothing (loyalty and authority signals do)
  • What looks like visibility but kills your authority (spoiler: most social media)
  • Why TV channels are the “private jet” for podcasters ready to scale (and who’s more prepared than they think)
  • Her doctoral research bombshell: Expert confidence sneaks out and sabotages business-building

You’ll also hear Trudy share what she can’t unsee now that she’s mastered REACHology®—and why her platform finally commands worldwide influence.

If you’ve ever thought:

“I’m an expert, why doesn’t the internet know it?”
“My podcast gets downloads, but no one’s buying”
“Social media reach is trash! How do I stand out?”
…this episode is for you.

Are You a Big Fish Offline and want to be Authoritative Online?

If you already have a podcast that isn’t driving the growth or revenue you expected, there’s a good chance one of these myths is quietly ambushing your strategy.

And if you’re still deciding whether launching a podcast is the right move for your business, these same myths may be keeping you stuck in indecision.

I’m breaking down podcasting myths I see holding entrepreneurs back.

It's not because they lack clarity or discipline, but because the advice sounds responsible… and it’s wrong.

These beliefs convince people they need:

  • a bigger audience before they can monetize
  • more time before they can commit
  • or purely organic growth for podcasting to “work”

When you understand the myths, you can make a clear, strategic decision — whether that means refining the podcast you already have or deciding, with confidence, whether podcasting belongs in your business at all.

Podcasting can work when:

  • you treat it like a business asset, not a content hobby
  • you plan to monetize intentionally (including guesting)
  • you focus on building trust and serving your audience

If you're starting to resent your podcast and questioning whether podcasting is even worth the effort — this episode will help you identify which belief may be running the show.

Want to talk it through?

📞Send me a quick voice note and tell me what’s holding you back. I’d love to help you think it through — honestly and strategically.

Podcasting shouldn’t feel this heavy.

And yet there are days when it takes more energy to get started than it should. You sit down to record, and before you even hit record, there’s resistance. Not because you don’t care, but because something feels off.

Most podcasters assume that when things feel hard, it’s a motivation problem. Or a consistency problem. Or a discipline problem.

I don’t see it that way. (That's why I'm hosting the Podcast Flywheel)

In this episode, I’m unpacking what’s happening when podcasting starts to feel like a grind — and why pushing harder almost never fixes it.

This isn’t about strategies or systems or doing more. It’s about understanding the quiet thing that erodes belief long before people ever quit.

If podcasting has started to feel like heavy maintenance, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Why podcasting feels hard even when you’re showing up consistently
  • The story most podcasters tell themselves when things stop feeling easy
  • What changes when your podcast finally feels contained and supported
  • How friction quietly drains belief over time
  • Why this isn’t a personal failure

This episode isn’t here to hype you up or give you a checklist.

It’s here to help you notice what you’ve been pushing through — and what it’s been costing you.

You can have an audience and still feel frustrated (and underpaid with your podcast).

That’s the part most podcast hosts don’t know how to explain and it’s why so many assume they need more visibility, more episodes, or better CTAs.

In this episode, I’m reframing that assumption.

Because when a podcast isn’t converting, it’s almost never a content problem.
It’s a belief problem.

I’m unpacking why host/listener proximity* by itself is not enough..

And how even “good” podcasts quietly lose momentum when belief isn’t being carried forward on purpose.

This episode is not about tactics.
It’s not about growth hacks.
And it’s definitely not about posting more.

Instead, I’m walking you through:

  • why authority breaks down even with loyal listeners
  • what’s actually happening when people listen…and do nothing
  • the subtle leadership gaps that cause podcasts to feel heavy instead of decisive

If you’ve ever thought, “My audience loves me… so why isn’t this working?”
this episode answers that question.

By the end of our time together, you’ll have:

  • a clearer way to diagnose why an episode didn’t convert
  • a different way to think about your role as the host
  • language for what’s really stalling momentum
  • a sharper sense of what matters next.

You'll also learn about building belief between episodes —
and why I treat my podcast as infrastructure, not content.

If you want to stay in proximity with that level of thinking, I invite you to join my weekly newsletter, Mic Drop Mastery, where I write to you as the CEO of your podcast, not the content creator.

And if you’re ready to see how belief actually moves across episodes, I’ll point you to the Podcast Flywheel inside the episode.

*I know Tony Robbins says Proximity is Power".
I've got a slight add on to that.

What if the reason your podcast isn’t converting has nothing to do with consistency, downloads, or your CTA… and everything to do with belief?

In today’s episode, I’m interviewing my client, Patricia Ortega, host of the Uncommon Career Podcast, and sharing a behind-the-scenes look at what changed when her podcast stopped feeling heavy, awkward, and salesy — and started generating consistent sales calls.

Patricia didn’t need more tactics. She didn’t need another social media strategy or a new funnel. What she needed was clarity — in her messaging, her structure, and the belief journey she was guiding her listeners through.

In this conversation, you'll hear:

  • Why “just get on the mic and talk” is not a strategy
  • How structure unlocks creativity instead of stifling it
  • The mindset shift that made selling feel like service instead of sleaze
  • Why a podcast can become your primary lead generator when social media feels soul-sucking
  • What changes when your episodes stop being fluffy and start being intentional

You’ll also hear Patricia share what she can’t unsee now that she understands how belief-based podcasting works — and why her show finally feels fun, aligned, and effective again.

If you’ve ever thought:

  • “I don’t want to sound salesy”
  • “My podcast is good, but it’s not converting”
  • “I don’t want to depend on social media to get clients”

…this episode will hit home.

Listen not just for what’s said, but for how belief, structure, and authority are modeled throughout the conversation. Patricia is a pro guest!

Are you currently your industry’s best-kept secret? If you’re looking at your bank account and it doesn't match the amount of heart (and hours) you’re pouring into your podcast, you need this episode.

It’s January 1st, 2026, and I'm officially retiring the "just be consistent" advice. You with me?

Because consistency is a lie if it’s leading you straight to burnout with nothing to show for it but a few "great episode!" comments and a flat P&L.

Today, we are doing the work. We’re using a part of my Mic Drop Mastery Method to bridge the gap between where you are and where your dream clients are waiting for you.

What’s on the Workbench Today:

  • The Belief Gap: Your listeners are skeptical—not of you, but of themselves. I’ll show you how to stand in that gap and lead them toward the transformation they need right now.
  • The Review from the Future: Do not skip the visualization exercise in this one. You've got to listen in to find out what it is!

The status quo is officially over. Let’s make 2026 the best podcasting year yet!

You know that feeling when you’re trying to build something beautiful, but the "chaos" of life and tech just seems to swoop in and crunch your hard work? Maybe it’s a 404 error at 2 AM, or maybe it's just the mental exhaustion of having a brain that never turns off.

Inside this episode, we’re unwrapping a vision for:

📌Your Strategic Flywheel: How to create 90 days of content that feels fresh, aligned with your values + goals, and most importantly - CONVERTS.

📌The 10 Commandments of Podcasting: Find the clarity to monetize every single episode with speed.

📌The Gift of Ingenuity: Why your unique quirks, faith, and "X-Factor" are the most important parts of the framework.

You don’t have to fix your funnels today.

You don’t have to plan your next quarter right now.

Let me guess.

Your podcast doesn’t feel hard exactly.
It just feels… heavy.

Like every episode requires:

  • a pep talk
  • a prayer
  • and maybe a small emotional support snack

If that’s you, I’ve got good news.

You’re not lazy.
You’re not unmotivated.
And your podcast is not broken.

In this episode, I’m unpacking the real reason podcasting starts to feel exhausting — and spoiler alert: it’s not because you need better ideas or more consistency.

(If “just be more consistent” actually worked, none of us would be here.)

What’s actually happening is a structural breakdown that impacts us at the nervous system.

Here’s what I walk you through:

  • Why your podcast feels heavy even when you like your message
  • The sneaky way “trying harder” makes everything worse
  • Why your brain is tired of re-deciding things every week
  • What I mean by containment (no, not Tupperware… but also kind of)
  • The ONE question that immediately lightens the load of your next episode
  • Why belief work isn’t one-and-done (and why that’s good news)
  • What healthy accountability really feels like ( steady, supportive, and not frantic).

I also give you something you can do this week — no rebrand, no four-hour planning session, no spiraling required.

If you’re tired of posting on social media to try to grow your podcast and feeling strung out from doom scrolling (accidentally), this episode is for you.

I’m breaking down why podcasting flips the odds in your favor, how your episodes can stick with listeners, and why chasing likes isn’t the same as building trust.

I’ll answer three questions from members of the Virtual Podcast School:

  1. How much of your social presence should be personal vs. professional?
  2. How do you post without feeling trapped on the hamster wheel of content creation?
  3. What percentage of buyers actually find you through podcasts first vs. social media?

Along the way, I’m sharing stats, insights, and my own lessons from escaping social media burnout—plus small, profitable ways you can leverage your podcast without exhausting yourself.

🎯By the end, you’ll know exactly how to use your podcast as your hub, let social be your distribution, and fire the algorithm for good.

Let your podcast do the heavy lifting… and reclaim your time, your energy, and your sanity.

You’ve been consistent.

You’ve shown up.

You’ve posted episode after episode.

And yet… it still feels like your podcast isn’t reaching the impact you hoped for.

After 300 episodes, I’ve noticed the patterns that trip up even experienced podcasters: consistency alone doesn’t grow your audience, influence your listeners, or monetize your show.

In this episode, I’ll share shifts that turn effort into results, presence into impact, and a podcast that’s just ‘out there’ into one that connects, converts, and drives profit.

If you’re ready to stop releasing episodes just because someone, somewhere said to, you’re in the right place. Listen to begin creating episodes that truly grow, influence, and monetize. I’ll share practical insights, a few laughs, and a fresh perspective on what’s working now in podcasting.

Here's something that will never go out of style - good content created for your audience and your business. Take content creation OFF YOUR PLATE!

I’ve seen enough Black Friday chaos to last a lifetime.

Long lines, overnight tenting gasp, and grown adults wrestling over TVs.

Listen, frenzy might sell gadgets, but it doesn’t build trust.

Podcasting is the same. You don’t need hype to grow; you need strategy that sticks.

In this episode of Simplify Podcasting, I’m sharing five things every podcaster should consider — whether you’re launching, relaunching, or just want to make your show work smarter.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Leverage your energy and know-how to keep your audience hooked
  • Revisit your trailer for stronger first impressions
  • Build a launch team that drives momentum
  • Create calls to action that serve and sell
  • Lead with trust through every transition

Listen for strategies to serve first and sell second...so you can monetize every episode.

No Black Friday Frenzy Required.

This one’s a total blast! I promise you’ll laugh, learn, and walk away with a few “oh dang, that’s good” moments.

All with the goal of keeping your podcast fresh, fun, and full of purpose.

Misty shares what she’s learned through hosting guests on her podcast — from insights about adult ADHD, mother–daughter relationships, and the unique challenges pastors’ wives face — to how she keeps her show rooted in faith, purpose, and joy.

I share a few behind-the-scenes strategies for protecting your content, building systems that save your sanity, and using tools to make your workflow smoother (and actually enjoyable again).

Have you ever poured your heart into your podcast and wondered why it’s not growing?

Are you feeling stuck, like no matter how many episodes you publish or how good your content is, the results just don’t show up?

I’ve noticed so many podcasters working harder than ever yet still getting no traction - and they're ready to quit this podcasting thing. (Podmatch runs a monthly report that proves this true - more than 90% quit after just a few episodes.)

In this episode, I share four common beliefs that quietly keep podcasters playing small. The beliefs that can sabotage your podcast growth without you even realizing it.

There's something that happened to me as a kid that that shaped my mindset for years, and how that same kind of thinking shows up in podcasting today.

If you’re ready to challenge what’s holding you back and start stepping into the podcast growth you’ve been chasing, this episode is for you.

🚀And if you're ready to grow in community and profits, Go Pro, Podcaster.

I’m not a pumpkin spice latte kind of girl...but I am drooling over pumpkin pie with flaky crust and whipped cream.

And just like that pie, your podcast should be irresistible to your audience… but let’s be real...if you’re still spinning your wheels 10 months into 2025, your episodes might be more “meh” than “cha-ching.”

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the three S’s that most podcasters are missing: Strategy, Structure, and Support. You’ll learn how to:

  • Turn your episodes into client-attracting machines
  • Map every episode to your business and personal goals
  • Build a system that keeps you consistent without burning out

No more guessing, no more random tips, no more pod fade. If you’re ready to stop pouring hours (and money) into a podcast that doesn’t deliver, grab your notebook, take action fast, and let’s go pro together.

If you know you need support for your strategy and structure, it's time to Go PRO. Find out more here.

Lead generation isn’t just a marketing buzzword; lead gen is the heartbeat of your business. And here’s wisdom you need most right now: if you say you can’t, you must.

In this episode of Simplify Podcasting, I’m joined by my hunka-hunka Bill Rogers to break down what real life lead generation that works looks like. Forget cold algorithms, funnels, and AI scripts. We must build authentic relationships, show up in the right rooms, and create connections that close the trust gap and lead to conversion.

We dive into:

  • The #1 principle of lead generation: proximity is power
  • Why conversations - not cold clicks - create clients
  • The danger of hiding behind AI and losing your voice
  • How to become memorable, referable, and profitable in any room
  • The $12,000 investment we made in lead gen and what it taught us
  • The surprising connection between arena football and your ideal clients

Here’s the big takeaway: people hire people. If you want to monetize your podcast, grow your business, and stand out in a saturated market, you can’t just rely on automation, you must invest in showing up, speaking up, and connecting with real people.

And let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.Galatians 6:9

There are seasons when the world feels unbearably heavy, and the microphone in front of us feels like too much. Yet it is in these very moments that obedience to our calling as podcasters matters most.

In this episode, I want to gently encourage you to keep podcasting.

Your voice is a vessel God has entrusted to proclaim the gospel. Podcasting is not simply about growth or numbers; it is about faithfulness. It is about trusting that even the smallest offering can be used by God for eternal impact.

If you are weary or uncertain, I pray this message reminds you that your voice is influential, your obedience matters, and the Lord will use it to reach hearts you may never see this side of heaven.

If you don't know Jesus, message me to hear about his love for you and his desire for you to come to him.

What to Say on a Podcast (So People Lean In) Because the right words on a podcast can open doors faster than any marketing tactic.

Ever stumble over your words when someone asks what you do? Or, you experience that awkward transfer of the microphone?

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful teaching I first gave inside Maria Fontana’s Salon Business School - and now I’m bringing it straight to you.

I’ll show you why the way you talk about your business matters just as much as what you actually do, and how to reframe your words so people lean in and say, ‘Tell me more.’

If you’ve ever felt like your story gets lost or your value is hard to explain, this conversation will help you find your voice - and grow your business with it.

Ready to get brutally honest about your podcast and how it is performing?

In this episode, I walk you through the tough questions you need to ask yourself if you want your podcast - and your business - to reach the next level. I’ll show you why being brutally honest about your “floor”, the standards you refuse to compromise, is the key to building staying power and achieving those impossible goals.

You’ll learn the five areas every podcaster must assess:
· Purpose: why your podcast exists

· Pretty: how it looks and sounds and feels

· Punchy: the impact and energy it delivers

· Prose: the quality of your words and flow

· Product: how it ties into your offers

I’ll guide you through how to evaluate each one, so you can identify what needs to be pruned and where to focus your energy for real growth.

If you’re ready to move beyond just showing up and start scaling with intention, this episode is for you. I also share how you can join my community of podcasters and get support as you level up.

Command the Room. Command the Mic. Command the Market.
For visionaries who build empires without bowing to the world’s rules.

You already know you’re called. You already know you’ve been entrusted with influence. The real question is - are you stewarding it at full capacity?

In this episode, I sit down with Tania Khazaal, a powerhouse leader who went from rock-bottom circumstances to building a thriving, purpose-driven 7-figure business. Tania equips women to reclaim their God-given voice, vision, and authority. We’re not talking theory or hype; we’re talking about the often messy process of aligning your business, your platform, and your personal life without compromising your call.

Tania shares insights on:

· Leveraging your story as a strategic asset to grow your reach and revenue.

· Aligning your podcast and business with the calling God’s already placed in you.

· The myth of “balance” and why high-level leaders operate in alignment instead.

· Generosity as a business growth strategy in a market where trust is currency.

· The mindset and operational shifts that turn influence into sustained profitability.

You don’t need to compartmentalize your faith, your business, and your platform.
This episode will give you both the conviction and the blueprint to do it.

Your business must be memorable, referrable, and influential to grow both the Kingdom and your bottom line.

I was 942 seconds into The Science of Scaling when I hit pause.

Not because I was bored. I realized I had to stop and re-evaluate everything I’d written down for 2026 gaols that started for me this August.

In this episode, I’m not giving you another podcasting tip. I’m challenging you to audit your goals, your positioning, and how you’re showing up on the mic.

Here’s what I’m sharing:

  • Why the real bottleneck to scaling might be the attainability of your goals
  • How audiobook release strategies may impact you (and what you should (and shouldn’t take from it)
  • Why simply uploading audio with your podcast cover art to YouTube is wasting the algorithm’s time and yours
  • The 3 non-negotiable questions I now ask before creating any episode
  • What “innovate, don’t imitate” really looks like when you’re using AI as a refiner, not a crutch

This is a conversation about strategic audacity. We're not talking about volume, vanity metrics, and cookie-cutter podcast playbooks.

If you’re using podcasting as a thought leadership engine (not just a content channel), this episode is for you.

You don’t need a million downloads to monetize - but you do need to know who you are behind the mic.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the three types of podcasters I see over and over again (and maybe you’ll see yourself too): The Artist, The Angel, and The Accountant.

Each brings something powerful.

And each can sabotage your show’s success without the right plan.

I’m also sharing real-world ways podcasters earn income at different stages, plus a few myths that need to be retired once and for all.

If you’ve ever wondered why it feels so hard to monetize, this conversation will feel like a mirror and a map.

Let's rock and roll!

IfPart 1 (EP 280) was the "should I even start a podcast?" conversation, this is where we map out what it's going to take to succeed and monetize - without burning out.

Still deciding if podcasting is the right move or the right time? This episode gives you the checklist most people skip before they ever hit record.

In Part 2 of my live coaching session with Anita, we wrap up our conversation by getting into the common traps and costly distractions most new podcasters fall into. (Spoiler: It’s not about your mic.)

I walk through:

  • What to focus on before your first recording ever goes live
  • How to think about your ideal listener when planning episodes
  • What matters most in the early stages and what you can ignore
  • Why a podcast without a clear business purpose is wasted effort
  • Why podcasting can feel lonely—and how to build community around it

Anita said something I loved:

“Podcasting could be a great addition… People can actually get a sense of your energy before they ever book a session.”

Exactly. Your podcast can scale when you say yes to podcasting with intention.

Thinking about launching a podcast but not sure if it’s a smart move or just more content chaos? In this strategy-packed coaching session, I'll help transformational coach Anita evaluate if podcasting fits her business model, her message, and her season of life.

This isn’t a hype session. It’s the kind of conversation seasoned entrepreneurs wish they’d had before sinking hours into a mic with no plan.

You'll learn:

  • Why a proven offer is the non-negotiable first step
  • What it really takes (time, tools, + mental space) to podcast well
  • How to use podcasting as a growth tool - not just a vanity project
  • How to align your show with your values, voice, and business outcomes
  • Whether podcasting can replace (or outperform) your current visibility strategy

"If I could get all my clients through podcasting... I’d drop everything else." – Anita
This is the turning point conversation for anyone stuck in decision fatigue around content, visibility, and lead gen.

Just because you’re consistent doesn’t mean your podcast is working.

If your show isn’t bringing in leads, building real trust, or supporting your offers, it’s not a content problem. It’s an ecosystem problem.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reason most podcasts stall, fade, or flop - and the 5-part ecosystem you need to make sure yours doesn’t.

This isn’t about adding more episodes. It’s about building a strategy that finally makes your voice work with your business, not against your bandwidth.

✏️Grab your writing gear! This episode will get you thinking differently and taking action right now.

Guesting on podcasts isn’t optional anymore...

Not if you’re serious about growing your business. Today I’m walking you through four things you need to be thinking about before you pitch another podcast.

These aren’t hacks or templates.

They’re foundational for getting booked on aligned, complementary shows, the kind of interviews that actually grow your authority, not just your download count.

I’m not walking through all seven guesting building blocks from the guide, but I am sharing four concepts to sharpen your strategy and save you time in your outreach.

If you’re pitching, guesting, or thinking about adding podcast interviews into your marketing plan—this is where you start.

🎤︎︎ How to know if a show is even worth pitching

🎤︎︎ The mistake most guests make that gets their pitch ignored

🎤︎︎ Why guesting is more than visibility - it’s about being valuable

We're covering guesting LIVE inside the Virtual Podcast School. Are you in here yet?

Do you read books just to hit a number each year? Or do you soak in a select few so you can implement, implement, implement?

When I hit record this week with my neatly outlined episode, I sensed something was... off. The timing didn’t feel right, but I couldn’t put my finger on why.

And then it hit me.

I knew I had to pause the power-packed guesting episode I had planned (don’t worry - it’s coming next week). Because sometimes your perfectly mapped-out plan gets hijacked. And by hijacked, I mean gently, yet unmistakably, redirected by God.

If your podcast (and business) feel strung out on tactics and starving for purpose, lean in. I’m sharing the detour He walked me through -- a detour that pulled me back to the foundation of why I even grabbed the mic in the first place.

I’m confronting a few excuses I didn’t realize I was still hiding behind… and offering you a challenge that could flip the whole second half of your 2025.

(P.S. Stay to the end; I tease next week’s play-by-play on turning guest spots into revenue streams...because purpose and profit can absolutely share a mic.)

What if the secret to a successful, profitable podcast isn’t more hustle... but boredom?

Let's dive into a counterintuitive but powerful idea: intentional boredom.

It sounds strange, but it just might be the missing piece in your podcasting monetizing and productivity strategy.

Drawing from insights in Cal Newport’s DEEP WORK, I’ll walk you through how boredom can sharpen your thinking, fuel your creativity, and help you finally cut through the noise.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Why boredom matters more than ever in a distraction-heavy world
  • How I’ve used it to fight overwhelm and stay focused
  • The role of saying no, and how it unlocks real momentum
  • What it takes to build a podcast that grows with intention and attracts a loyal, engaged audience

This isn’t about working harder. It’s about working deeper.

If you're tired of chasing trends and ready to create episodes that truly convert, this conversation will change the way you think.

We go in-depth on money-making strategies inside the Virtual Podcast School. Join me for live sessions, strategy, and support to keep your podcast growing without burning out.

You’ve probably heard it before: “Just batch 12 episodes and launch messy.”
But what if that’s
exactly why your show isn’t converting?

Is your podcast a strategic business asset… or just a never-ending to-do?

Inside, we unpack:

  • The shortcut mindset that's stalling your impact
  • What the "long cut" really looks like (and why it works)
  • Three practical shifts to simplify, build trust, and actually grow
  • How consistent connection trumps sporadic promotion every time

If you're tired of podcasting that feels more like hustle than legacy-building, this one’s for you.

Plus: I'll share what it means to go live, get flexible, and speak to the people already waving their green flag.

Let’s cut to it.

You’ve got the influence, the offer, and the infrastructure — but something is off. Like your message isn’t landing. Your platform isn’t converting. And the decisions you’re making now matter more than ever.

This episode breaks down what high-performing, mission-driven entrepreneurs face daily but rarely admit:

  • How the very traits that built your empire can quietly sabotage your focus
  • Why DIY content and mass-market trainings stall growth at the top
  • The power of intentional, real-time clarity (and why no download can replicate it)
  • An invitation to join me live on Tuesday, June 10, to get your next move mapped out and your audience’s problem solved — in real time

If the next phase of growth demands precision, positioning, and profitability — you’ll find the breakthrough when you Simplify Podcasting to meet your 2025 business goals.

📌 If your next level isn’t showing up yet, it’s likely not a strategy issue — it’s a clarity one. Let’s fix that.

Let’s be real - are you secretly building offers for clients you hope won’t say yes?

Maybe it started with a “starter offer” to ease people in…
Or a downsell you added out of panic when leads stopped converting…

But now your offer suite feels like a garage sale—and the right-fit clients aren’t buying.

In this episode of Simplify Podcasting, we’re calling it out:
Misaligned offers aren’t just messy—they’re killing your momentum and destroying trust.

You’ll learn:

  • How the wrong offers quietly erode your authority
  • Why “entry-level” can quickly become “energy-draining”
  • The psychology behind decision confidence (and how to get it back)
  • What I did in 2025 to rebuild my business with trust-first offers that attract action-takers

We’re not just fixing your funnel—we’re recalibrating your podcast to serve the right clients who are ready to go deeper, faster.

🎉 Plus—it’s my birthday month, and I’m sharing the party with YOU!
Live Tuesday strategy sessions are happening all month inside the Virtual Podcast School. Come grab your seat and take action with us.

Whether you're planning your next quarter or just trying to stay present this week, this episode will help you build a strategy that nurtures loyalty and works with your energy, not against it. Learn:

  • Why themes are the secret weapon for content clarity
  • How to build a message rhythm your audience can trust

Thinking about launching a podcast—but not sure if it’s worth the time?
Before you even buy a microphone, let’s make sure podcasting fits your goals, your time, and your business.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What to do before you ever record a word
  • How long it really takes to produce an episode
  • What software (and how much money) you actually need
  • How to choose between solo, interview, or hybrid formats
  • The #1 question to ask before launching your show

Podcasting isn’t saturated—it’s just misunderstood. With the right system, you can launch (or relaunch) a podcast that builds trust, connects with your audience, and grows your business. If you're ready to turn your message into a binge-worthy show, this is your starting point.

Plus: I share a behind the scenes look at my workflow so you can see how you can do it, too.

Let’s get one thing straight—your voice isn’t just noise in the void. It’s a business asset.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what it really means to use your podcast mic with purpose. We’re not here to ramble—we’re here to build connection, credibility, and conversions. You’ll learn why audio quality is about more than your microphone, how to speak like a CEO (not just a content creator), and why selective listeners are actually a GOOD thing.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re talking to yourself in a closet (literally), this one’s for you. We’ll cover:

  • Why picky listeners = powerful episodes
  • How to stop “just recording” and start intentionally communicating
  • Why your tone, phrasing, and pacing influence trust and authority
  • The secret to making your mic feel like a conversation, not a performance
  • Community beats content every time—God designed it that way

If you're a Christian business owner with a proven offer and have a podcast that isn't pulling its weight, or you want to launch a podcast to grow your business, this episode is for you - and so is the next bootcamp!

Join me May 13–17 REGISTER for the Profitable Podcast Bootcamp

This isn't another webinar. It’s a live, high-touch, implementation-heavy experience where you’ll learn how to monetize every episode and connect with your dream clients. Spots are limited—because connection > crowd size.

Thinking about co-hosting a podcast?

Already sharing the mic—but it’s starting to feel a little messy?

Feeling a bit off as a guest because you don't have chemistry with the host?

Co-hosting sounds fun (and it totally can be). But without structure, roles, and rhythm—it can easily become frustrating for both you and your listeners.

You can co-host and share the microphone like a pro—especially for duos who:
↳ Swap hosting duties
↳ Share mic time 50/50
↳ Want to sound tight and aligned without over-planning

In this episode, you'll learn:

✅ The #1 convo every co-hosting pair needs to have
✅ A simple way to prep separately but stay in sync
✅ How to pass the mic smoothly—without awkward overlaps

If you’re launching a co-hosted show (or want to clean yours up), this one’s for you.

What if there’s more to the story?

In this episode, let's dive into the common mental health threats entrepreneurs face and what you can do to prevent overwhelm and anxiousness from stealing your joy, and your profits.

**Let's bust 3 of the biggest myths that are keeping you playing small - or worse - not playing at all when it comes to podcasting.

When you plan to monetize every guesting experience.

When you focus on building trust and serving your audience.

Right now, you think launching a podcast = creating MORE content. But what if I told you… it’s actually the opposite?

There's no short cut to creating a great show.

There are plenty of detours.

And still...

You can save time creating content with podcasting.

If you believe launching your podcast requires you to spend more time creating content, today's episode is for you.

➡️I'll prove why you must launch now (619M podcast listeners projected in 2026)

I'll share 4 proofs that refute the notion you have to fit podcasting into your schedule.

You can use podcasting to grow your business in less time, whether you host or guest.

💡 What This Episode Does:

  • Breaks the belief that podcasting = more content work.
  • Positions podcasting as a business growth multiplier (not just content).
  • Shares how you can profit faster than you think.

Are you asking all the wrong questions?

That is a HORRIBLE question!

Instead, it would be a much better question to ask you this: "What type of questions do you ask to create conversions from each episode?"

When we avoid Yes/No questions or generic icebreakers, we'll create stronger episodes that convert while increasing our credibility and thought leadership as a podcast host or podcast guest.

In #255, we'll unpack how to ask specific, story-driven questions which build trust and increase audience engagement.

Not-So-Great Questions versus ✅ Better Questions

There are 6 categories of questions

  1. Vague, Boring Icebreakers

  2. Overly Broad Business Questions

  3. The Yes-No Trap

  4. Overly Self-Serving Questions

  5. Fluffy, No Value Closers

  6. The Unprepared Question

Hi! I'm Jen! I believe when you ask better questions, you work towards better solutions. What strategies do you have in place to leverage podcasting in 2025? Book a call with me to leverage faster in your own 90-Day Private Sprint.

Have you given yourself an official diagnosis of burnout (or podfade)?

What if that is the wrong diagnosis?

Let's be real - our long-range plans will always take a circuitous route. That's the "adventure" part we like the idea of greatly - before we're experiencing the messy parts of growth.

Listen, I know you've got podcasting goals and a vision for how your show lines up with your long-range plans. Along the way, you'll diagnose many situations to take action on solving the next thing that comes your way.

However, when we misdiagnose a problem, we treat symptoms that can never make us well. Oh, short-term, we may experience some relief, but longer term, the underlying problem comes to light.

↳ Podcasting is only one area of what we do. How we show up each time we record reveals what's at the core of who we are becoming.

In this episode, Lora and I uncover what may be hidden underneath a diagnosis of burnout and what you can do to grow through this part of your adventure.

Jesus Christ's divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 2 Peter 1:3-4

Remember, You can do all things - THROUGH JESUS who strengthens you.

Ready to discover what'd lurking behind your overwhelm and learn practical strategies to reignite energy, passion, and purpose? Listen to this episode. You can also find Lora's book here.

Think about a time you were in an elementary grade in school. Got it?

Cool - this is one example of effectively engaging your audience. Your story generates memories of a listener's story. Your invitation to imagine, dream, remember - that's a powerful invite!

How often are you implementing this monetization strategy on your show and guesting opportunities?

Flashbacks are powerful tools for you to captivate your audience. When you share your past, especially the hard and the hurt you've overcome, you create connection and close that 18-inch gap between your audience's earbuds + hearts.

How do you do that?

I'll teach you how in this episode featuring podcasters who are serious about monetizing. If you're serious too, you'll pay close attention to this excerpt from Day 3 of the Podcast Monetization Bootcamp.

Want to get in on the action? Then make sure you REGISTER for the February Podcast Monetization Bootcamp in the Virtual Podcast School. We kick off February 24.

P.S. If you're truly committed to monetizing, you'll want the workbook to accompany this excerpt. Know how you can get it? Take action to get it. Join us inside the Virtual Podcast School. I'll share it with you inside our community.

What's your podcast mindset?

Are you planning to monetize EVERY Episode?

It's exactly what we cover and more inside of this episode, recorded from our live session January 13 at Noon Eastern.

If you're not in the bootcamp, you're losing money.

The bootcamp is free.

Podcasting is not. That's why you need to monetize it.

It doesn't mean your target is $1M (like mine)...but it could be. Perhaps you want to monetize to cover fancy equipment, or better yet - hiring a producer to produce your show for excellent quality sound. (We cover production hacks on day 2 of the bootcamp).
What is your podcast monetization goal?
If you're like most, you don't have one. Let's fix that, shall we?!

Won't you come?

✨**Are you a TRENDSETTER?

Did you know?

According to Morning Consult Audience*, regular podcast listeners are super consumers and trendsetters.*
How do you create a trendsetting podcast people want to listen to?
🪝It all starts with a really great hook!**

You don’t need to spend hours and hours and hours creating a great episode. Instead, when you start with what you want your listener to walk away with, you create an episode that is not only edutaining (listen to episode #238 for more on educating + entertaining your clients), you build a loyal listener following, closing the trust gap, which not only grows your brand, it brings your listener one step closer to becoming your client.

In this episode, you'll learn how to implement a key part of Jen's proprietary framework to create a binge worthy episode!

Special Shoutout to my clients and their great 🎣h🎣!
Thank you,
Tony Mascolo, + Leneé Pezzanofor sharing your genius on the show!

Know where most startup entrepreneurs miss the mark? They neglect creating an overarching game plan so they don't know why they are doing what they are doing. A good game plan starts with seeking our Good Father.

When you do schedule time with the Father to pray about your business as you seek his direction?

📖✝️In this episode, I invite you to journal along with four Scripture prompts for you and your business. You simply cannot start a business or a podcast in your own strength. You only get so far before you burn out.

Remember when you were a kid and you played games like duck, duck goose, and Red Rover, Red Rover, Come on over?👧👧🏾👦🏻

Someone told you the rules, but you barely heard them because you were smacking a boy's hand for playing with your ponytail. But despite not hearing the rules you caught on pretty quickly.

How did you catch on so quickly? We'll answer that and dive into what to do when you sense someone has stolen your intellectual property.

Want to learn the 3 easy steps to take to kick hopelessness and discouragement to the curb? Let's get to it in this episode of Time To Simplify.

Have you ever felt the magnetic pull of a dream, so potent yet seemingly out of reach?

Same, friend. Same.

And yet...

What if we're not clear on that dream? What if we're simply stuck in survival mode? Then what?

I'll answer that question and more on this episode. Action is necessary to bring clarity. Don't underestimate the micro-actions. They work. It's time to transform your dissatisfaction into a clear statement of faith - that belief and hope for things which you cannot yet see. It's time for clarity and direction - exactly what you'll find in this week's drop.

If you need someone to help you see more clearly, consider working with me. Take the Empowerment Quiz to find out exactly where you're at right now. Head on over to stepfamilypodcast.com/WorkWithJento get started.

How do you become emotionally resilient?

Our next guest, Rebecca Techeira, candidly discusses the initial excitement and subsequent difficulties of stepfamily dynamics. Rebecca talks about differing parenting values and how external pressures affected her choices. Rebecca and her husband repeatedly sought help from "canned solutions" that didn't last. It wasn't until Rebecca worked with a coach that she began to experience her own transformation, and bring her back from the brink of divorce.

My mission is to help you conquer second-wife syndrome for good.....So you can stop wrestling and start investing your time, money and energy into your dreams. Take the Empowerment Quiz to see how coaching can literally transform your life!

When we don't fill ourselves up with the things that we need for survival in this alien land in which we live, we are going to fall to the temptations that are so common. Because Satan is at work. We know this because God's Word says so. Satan himself tells the Lord that he has come from prowling around the ends of the earth, going to and fro. Peter reminds us that he's (Satan) prowling around like a lion, looking for someone to devour.

Take a moment and imagine where Satan is prowling around in your life. Remember, he is sneaky and he's looking for someone to devour. He's looking to pick somebody off, one by one. That's why we are not isolated. That's why God designed us for community, not just for our spiritual growth, but also for our protection.

When we find ourselves struggling in our role, there's one thing we can do to begin to find our way out. Check out today's episode to find out exactly what that is!

By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with more clarity on what motivates you. If you’re like me, motivations and goals are mostly synonymous. Here’s a slight distinction between the two: goals are your compass and motivations are the energy to achieve the goal. This is why we go into the middle of our messes to learn what got us there to begin with. Ready to dive in?

💥My mission is to help you conquer second-wife syndrome for good.....So you can stop wrestling and start investing you time, money and energy into your dreams.

Each week, I’ll share biblical principles so you can grow in intimacy in your marriage. Together, we’ll drill down and uncover how “habits and self-awareness” is the savvy woman’s path to create the change they crave.

Most importantly, we’ll honor exactly where you are, right now. The most exciting thing about where you are? You’re here! In a nurturing space where you’re ready to learn, tactically, how you can more fully embrace the anointing God has placed on your life.

💥FLASH SALE! 💥Join the Academy now!In today's episode, I'll share one of my hunka-hunka's soapbox issues. This idea sprang to life during our morning devotional time earlier this week and I said, "WAIT!! I've got to write that down - you just gave me a great idea for a podcast episode." That makes this epsiode an official Divine Download! Funny thing, this divine download - has to do with four letters strung together that breed like rabbits...it breeds overwhelm, exhaustion, a sense of never being or doing enough, and more "frenemies" no one ever puts on their gift list.

Take note - this is NOT an episode marked with E for explicit! However, it is explicit by the definition of the word: I know. I checked.

As you press play to listen to the message, the color drains from your face. You feel queasy, and you imagine the worst?

Do you know what the weapon is, woman of God? It's Prayer! Prayer is a powerful weapon – the most powerful weapon in your Stepmama arsenal.

There’s a lot of talk about conspiracies, theories, and end times. Let me share with you what is NOT a conspiracy.

Satan is not a conspiracy.The Devil is real. Scripture tells us he’s the most cunning of all the wild animals that the Lord God had made. You know Eve’s temptation – Satan’s first of many demonic demonstrations of his one trick wonder in Genesis 3. When you diminish the devil’s power by dismissing him, he’ll take note and take advantage of being relegated to scheming behind the scenes.

Note: that doesn’t make him any less dangerous to you and your family.

This weapon, this powerful weapon of prayer strengthens you. Ephesians 6:10 says, “Be strengthened by the Lord and by his vast strength.”

📒📓Define submission. What does a word submission mean to you? (Listen in to find out about what is under the mission!)**

📒📓Identify an area where you may be struggling with submission to God's word. Search God's word to find a Scripture that you can lean on as you move forward to full obedience to God's word. (Remember, partial obedience = disobedience.)

📒📓Pray for divine discernment for your man. This definitely ties into yesterday's prayer for divine direction, and here's what I'm going to invite you to do: Reread the prayer that you wrote for your man yesterday. Then write another prayer today, praying for what he asked you to pray for, but write it a little differently than what you wrote out yesterday. Then pray for him!

Be sure to opt-in for the 30-Day Prayer Challenge! We start June 1!

You know when you're doing something and it doesn't seem like that something is working, that you're not really seeing the results of your efforts?

Sometimes prayer can feel a lot like that, especially when we're praying for our stepkids to be respectful or we want more intimacy with our man, or we want to be seen in our stepfamilies -- we want to be appreciated.

All too often our frustration with the lack of fruit leaves us even more frustrated than when we first begin to pray.

This sweet sister is right where Satan wants you to be frustrated and disconnected from the one who sees. Listen in to find the answers you need to uplevel your prayer life so you can reap the rewards in your stepfamily!

Sometimes, we have the idea that we've "arrived" in the sense that we know how to respond to our partner's needs. Yet, it is easy to overlook the fact that our spouse is changing. As we grow together, the most important aspect of cherishing one another is acknowledging these changes and being committed to giving each other what you want.

How do you get innovative when your roof is leaking?Not that long ago, we had a leak in our roof. It was caused by hail damage. So we needed to go through all of those things that you do through the insurance and the claim and the hiring contractors. All during the time when the COVID crisis was at the beginning. So, you know, everyone was scattered and the availability was slim.

**Tune in for your own dose of innovation, Stepmama!

143 is dedicated to my sweet friend and co-laboring innovator, Mikaela Brown.**

💣Are you ready for a pre-emptive strike to prevent what could go wrong on Mother’s Day? As this year’s secular holiday rolls around again, I feel my hackles raising up. I suppose that’s related to a combination of past hurts and unmet expectations.

If your hackles are raised too, let’s dig into what could be triggering us.

Here’s one for me – on a holiday designated for moms, no one thinks to take a couple of pictures of me and my kiddos. In fact, not unlike many other moms, I’m rarely in family photos. Worse still, there are special days during the year, like birthdays & anniversaries, where no pictures are taken!

📸*Are you intentionally discluded from family photos, Stepmom?

Let's talk about that and more!*

When we blend families, we don't just blend people, we combine stuff, too. But what happens when you realize you have too much? Is your home a prison of stuff, Stepmama?

Do the things in your home support where you are in this current season of your stepmama journey?

In today's episode, you'll hear from Decluttering Coach Emily McDermott who is passionate about helping you declutter your home, head, and heart. On today's show, I asked Emily if we would manage our clutter differently if we thought about clutter as spiritual warfare.

Here's what I mean: If we replace the word clutter with the devil's distraction, would we think about the stewardship responsibility of managing the peace in our homes differently?

Press play to gain insights on how cluttered spaces & places is likely stealing your joy and what you can do about it, one small step at a time to reclaim your space and dominion in your own home.

Are You Having a Stepmom Identity Crisis? 3 Tips on How to Survive Second Wife Syndrome for Good.

Shortly after a difficult resign-firing in 2014, my hunka-hunka and I, then dating, were sharing a glass of pinot on a teeny tiny balcony overlooking a busy part of a Houston downtown neighborhood. Sidebar story - After being wined and dined for almost two years, I said yes to a job 900 miles south because I sensed God’s leading me there.

The timing was off...but I figured I was right to go. Bill and I had gotten serious quickly, but deep down, even though I knew he was the man I was to marry, I was afraid. Let me articulate that differently. I remember specifically saying to Bill quite confidently, "I don’t want to hurt you, but I want to push you away kind of thing" and “I don’t want to need you,” (or anybody else for that matter).

Long after the fact I realized the leading was a teaching time lean into God instead of lean into the power of Jen.

Can you relate? Is there a time when you’ve declared your need for NOT needing someone? **Listen in for 3 tips on Surviving and what to do to keep the momentum going as you implement these strategies for Smart Stepmoms.

A long, long time ago in a land far, far away from where I am now (but not too far from where I grew up), I was dating a guy and I just want to say he was not the right guy. In fact, it would have been really, really good if my parents had stepped in and said, "We are not going to allow this to happen.

Hey, what did I learn through this experience? I thought I had all the answers -- don't we do that when we're young, especially? But even sometimes in our stepmom journey, we think, "I have all the answers and if they would just do what it is that I know that they quote unquote should do then things would be so much easier!"

I was destined to fail in that relationship...and sometimes, in our stepmom journey, it feels like we are destined to fail. And I am here to tell you on today's Sacred Stepmama Shortie, we must believe despite the terrain that we are training in.

We must have faith. Get those Bibles journals, coffees and whatever else you might need to dive into God's Word today.

Ever had one of those "Monster in the Mirror" moments? You know, the ones where after screaming at the top of your lungs because your kid did something that made you livid, you end up in the bathroom, staring at your reflection in the mirror and asking yourself, "Who is THAT person?" That's definitely a Myggy Experience!

Becky Dozeman, a Licensed Social Worker and Therapist turned Life Coach, shares 5 steps to gaining control over the fight, flight, freeze response your amygdala is known for (in addition to highly entertaining detours loaded with Becky-isms).

Becky effuses energy, joy, and optimism as she shares her unique method on how you can respond when Myggy shows up. Her tips include:

  • understanding how our internal narrative impacts judgment and overwhelm
  • embracing the gift of your amygdala signifying that this moment means something
  • discovering the difference between shame and guilt
  • identifying exactly what you may need in the moment -- to get through the moment (hint: Keep the humans alive!)

Thank you, Becky for your generosity of time, your ability to combine Science, Story, & Scripture in easy-to-understand language, normalizing the functions of our brains.

Who is the Saboteur? What if it's an inside job, Stepmom? Self-sabotage is all too common! It's destructive, hindering, and reduces our influence in our families.

Sabotage begins in these major categories:

🔴Thinking – our lizard brains cling to what is familiar; they attempt to keep us safe. To our brains, new = unsafe.

🔴Fear – we don’t want to be rejected – again. Fear of intimacy, fear of failing, fear of all the negative "what ifs" can hold us back.

🔴Procrastination (or avoidance) you can argue it is a great short-term strategy, there's also a long-term impact, which is usually NOT something good.

Listen to today's episode to learn what you can do to establish new patterns to regain control in your blended family home.

How do you protect your kids when co-parenting is toxic, hostile, narcissistic, or otherwise threatening?We start with the basics - defining co-parenting and parallel parenting. In our FB community this is a BIG topic. Let's talk about stepfamily parenting here and virtually. A small group of innovative women creating Stepmama Strategies that work!
Use your voice! Be heard! Apply for
Stepmama Think Tank!https://www.stepfamilypodcast.com/think😇 Co-parenting
✅ fostering a long-term relationship with your ex, for the good of the kids
✅ clear, firm rules about communication
✅ mutually agreed upon schedules, day to day
✅ parenting methods (parenting boundaries) are similar
✅ scheduled check-ins by parents
✅ scheduled check-ins with kids
✅ process negative feelings before meeting with co-parent
✅ firm boundaries for parenting and communicating with the other co-parent
✅ trust is present/no need for excessive documentation
✅ promotes respect in both homes
✅ reduces anxiety associated with two homes

😡Parallel parenting
🧨 one parent is unwilling or incapable of fostering a long-term relationship
🧨 communication is toxic, emotionally draining, and more about control than solving anything
🧨 aberrant schedules create decision-fatigue and constant changes which are disruptive for the kids and the homes
🧨 Parenting methods distinctly opposed to one another. Different beliefs, values, boundaries in each home
🧨 Toxicity, Grudges, Narcissism, and Resentment are the motivators for checking in - very different from co-parenting with the kids' best at the forefront
🧨 scheduled check-ins with the kids - but separately in your own home due to the inherent conflict that prevents collaboration with a difficult co-parent
🧨 process negative feelings before meeting with co-parent
🧨 focus on the boundaries within your home and the mutually agreed upon methods of responding you and your spouse have
🧨 documenting is exhausting, time-consuming, and usually falls on the Stepmama
🧨 creates loyalty challenges, usurping other's authority and alienation are common
🧨 anxiety levels high in both homes

🚧 In Co-parenting & Parallel Parenting, Watch out for
🙈 kids taking advantage
🙈 new stages of growth
🙈 messages sent through the child
🙈kids' anxiety levels - especially with parallel parenting (loyalty confusion, picking sides, feeling pressured by parents)
🙉 conflicting values and beliefs can create conflict

Ok…it’s true. I am a habit nerd. I love studying how the brain processes intel. The thing is, our feelings, our emotions play a huge role in habits. Ever say, “I am too upset to talk to that person?” or “I’m soooo tired! I couldn’t possibly work out today.”

Stepmom, we must send ourselves new messages and practice habits that lead into the outcomes we really want.

Here’s the thing about habits. Each habit has triggers. In Stepmom life, there are lots of triggers! Want an example?

What happens each time your man’s ex sends a text to him?How do you respond? Each of us will have a slightly different story to share. Our stories will likely change over time, too, dependent on how much energy we direct towards how we want to respond to a triggering event.

The thing about triggers is they are seemingly small actions that have catastrophic impact. The really frustrating thing about triggers is they are recurring situations which often trip us up. We think we’ll be ready for them…but…because we haven’t taken the time to process the last landmine that exploded, we step on the next one in ignorance.

Then, we sit atop the ash heap of wounding words, confusing thoughts, and Stepmom double think. You know what I mean? Of course you do. You ask yourself:

  • Did she really mean what I think she meant?
  • Am I overreacting?
  • Even if my husband’s ex crossed the line and acted as if she was still married to MY husband, did I imagine it?
  • What am I doing that’s so wrong here?!
  • What if…she’s right? What if I’m all those things?

And just like the crafty, slithering serpent goes in for the kill before we fully realize his thievery and destructive desires, we find ourselves in a thousand shattered pieces...scared to death that we will never be put back together again.

But God.Today's episode gives you the clarity you need to move forward. Let's work together before it's too late. You are the head and not the tail, woman of God.

💥Hey, it's Saturday. And you know what that means?

It's time for another Sacred Stepmama Shortie. Are you ready for today's episode? Grab your journals and pens! I've got a good cup of joe☕️, how about you?
Let's get to it!

How do you take what you learn in God's word and apply it to you when you are struggling with your stepmom role?

One word at a time, sister, one word at a time. And practice, it takes practice, immersing yourself in God's word. One of my favorite things to do is study scripture with other women.

💥“No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed. And you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me,” declares the Lord. (Isaiah 54:17)💥

Listen, if you're on the brink of divorce, this is a story of the power of effective communication, hope and prayer.Bill and I are no strangers to communication miscues. I mean, when you spend more than eight years together with somebody not even factoring in that you have step-kids that you don't know what to do with, you will have communication snafus!

Rick & Tess Scott are no different. His kids. Her kids. Their kids. It wasn't as simple as "just joining a new family." In fact, it wasn't simple at all. They married each other...twice.

👋Introducing Sacred Stepmama Shorties - Welcome to kicking off the first episode of this pilot feature!👋

2023 marks year five that Bill and I are reading through the Bible together. Each year, we choose a different plan. I've learned so much diving into God's Word this way.

We've just read about The Fall in Genesis 3. Know what strikes me? The blame game. Eve: The devil made me do it. Adam: She made me do it.

My takeaways, shared on today's pilot of the pilot program I'm starting this week on the pod - Sacred Stepmama Shorties, are these:

💥1. What happens when we are accused? The flesh reacts quickly, deflecting responsibility by blaming someone else.

💥2. Satan is sneaky for sure when he asks, "Did God really say?" But...the thing is...it's the same strategy he whispers to us. "Those aren't really your kids." "It doesn't matter if you withdraw." "The kids don't need you." "You are not the right woman for the job."

💥3. Forgetting God. Did Eve check in with God? Did Eve consult the Word when she was listening to Satan? Did Eve consult her spiritual leader of the household, Adam? Did Adam consider God's teaching, his commandment to NOT eat from that tree? Do you hear the gonging clanging empty of the word NO to all of these questions?

💥4. Did you notice that Adam wasn't somewhere else in the garden, he was right next to Eve? "She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it." Anyone else wanting a knight in shining armor to step in and protect this woman?

💥5. Finally, consider the influence of a woman. Do you catch it? The woman gave to her husband. Her suggestion to partake and Adam's acceptance signifies Eve's influence.

As you consider how you want to show up for 2023, I invite you to spend time meditating on God's Word. On his anointing and his appointing of YOU as the influential woman of the family he has given to you.

What will you do with what God has entrusted to you?#sacredshortie P.S. Don't do this alone. Join us in our Stepmom Community now!

So you know how at the end of a year everyone starts talking about what's coming up in the next year, and you hear a lot of the same old, same old? Are you making resolutions? What's the benefit of making a resolution? There are all the jokes about the people who go to the gym and they only last a few weeks and you can't wait till they're gone if you're a gym person.

But what I want to focus on is the word. And what is the word? This is also very common where many people adopt a word for the year, and my husband and I have a word for 2023. What I thought was important for today's episode was sharing with you the word for Bold and Blended Stepmoms Podcast because this word is a driver for all of the things that you're hearing on this podcast.

How does this apply to you as a Christ follower, a woman after God's own heart; how does this impact you? How does this podcast help you in your journey where you may be struggling and frustrated and wondering, what do I do next?

Hit play to find out! Ready? Let's do it!

Giving Your Kids Electronics for the Holidays? Before You Do, World-Renowned Medical Doctor Shares Ten ‘911’ Tips to Protect Them from the Dangers of Social Media

We all know that kids wish for the latest smartphones, laptops and tablets for the holidays. But did you know that those very gifts can turn your children into addicts and practically ruin their lives forever? For the first time, Brian Boxer Wachler, MD, a prominent Beverly Hills medical specialist reveals his own social media addiction, and because of his ‘in-the-trenches’ experience, offers 10 tips to protect your kids (and you!) from the dangers of the virtual world of social media. In his explosive new book, INFLUENCED: The Impact of Social Media on Our Perception.Jen chats with Dr. Boxer Wachler, aka “Dr. Brian,” where he confesses he was so ensconced in the deep, dark, depths of all things digital, his wife and daughters held an intervention because he was more concerned with his number of views, likes, shares and followers then his family. Then reality set in that he missed out on significant experiences and events with his family that could never be recaptured.

>>>>>>**https://www.stepfamilypodcast.com/clarity

Dr. Brian's 10 Tips for protecting kids from the dangers of social media:**

  1. Set limits on social media.
  2. Turn off the smart phone at dinnertime.
  3. Don’t engage with a cyberbully.
  4. Beauty imagery on social isn’t beautiful. One third of teen girls feel worse about their bodies as it normalizes their opinion of altered body images & body dysmorphia. Your kids are 200% more likely to have an eating disorder if they’re glued to perfect body images.
  5. Social Security numbers are NOT social.
  6. Kids don’t need credit card info.
  7. Never give out your home address.
  8. Never post pictures of your vacation—while on vacation.
  9. Violent Video Games Can Normalize Violent Behavior
  10. Social media can polarize family and friends

Hi Loves!❤️💗💓

Today I'm bringing on Stephanie, a FB Group Member, for live coaching. As Stephanie worked through her coaching session, I was reminded of the extreme tension between having responsibility for parenting stepchildren without having the accompanying authority.

📖#106 is a journaling invitation for you to go deeper in your stepmama walk. Ready, woman of God? Let's go!📖✒📖

From different co-parenting expectations to lack of clarity in our role as a stepmom, we often find ourselves angry, exhausted, frustrated. and ready to say, "I'm Out!"

Can you relate?
As I reflect on my stepparenting journey, the first couple of years there was a lot of anger on all sides. 😡 Personally, I didn't notice so much everybody else's anger in the same way that I noticed my own. at that time, although I know it's difficult to go back, but at that time, I felt like I was the one that was mostly wronged or mostly taken advantage of. 😭

I did not take into consideration the trauma and the challenges that my kids were facing, both my step kids and my biological kids because I was so hurt and so angry.

Can you relate?

In today's episode, featuring the power of laser coaching, Stephanie does the hard work of discerning how to connect with her stepdaughter.

As you listen, avoid thinking about all the advice you want to give. Instead, ask yourself this question: "How does this apply to me?"

We're releasing the Stepmama Clarity Workshop January 1, 2023!! Get on the waitlist now!! Ready to Go Deeper? Let's do it!

Stepfamily Holiday Stress Got You Anxious? You're not alone, Stepmama! In today's episode, grab your journals, planners, and coffee to sit down and take some time to prepare before you find yourself entangled in the holiday frenzy that all too often can steal your joy.

5 Stepmom Strategies to Reduce Anxiety and Show Up Authentically You
#1 Be curious! ❓🤗 #2 Have ears to hear. 👂 👂 #3 Come with a servant's heart ❤️💓 **#4 Identify how you want to walk away from an experience.🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️

5 Prioritize your time. ⏰*Proverbs 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.*

According to the 📗Book of Jen, the plans of a smart stepmom lead to stronger relationships, as surely as failing to plan for challenging stepfamily interactions leads to all those disses, the distrust, the disappointment, and the disillusionment.

There are at least two sides to every conflict, and when it's between divorced or separated parents, sparks can fly.

As a special bonus drop, Jen welcomes co-parenting experts Diane Dierks and Rick Voyles. On Co-Parent Dilemmas, listeners ask questions like these:

  • What do you do when the other parent won't be flexible with the parenting schedule?
  • How do you respond to a co-parent who is constantly blowing up your phone with texts?
  • Is it really important to talk to your children when they are at the other parent's house?
  • And what about the parent who won't share important information with you about the children? Do you give in to the other parent's antics or should you hold your ground?

In today's bonus show, you'll gain insight into the mind of a judge and what things he considers when responding to Candace.

How do we know when it is time to go back to court?

Should somebody go to court and take the chance, especially if they have limited resources? We all know it is not cheap to go back to court and pay attorneys, especially with delays. It feels like you're shelling out cash right and left, and then, you get to the end of court drama & trauma, and nothing really changes.

Do you know what the weapon is, woman of God? It's Prayer! Prayer is a powerful weapon – the most powerful weapon in your Stepmama arsenal.

There’s a lot of talk about conspiracies, theories, and end times. Let me share with you what is NOT a conspiracy.

Satan is not a conspiracy.The Devil is real. Scripture tells us he’s the most cunning of all the wild animals that the Lord God had made. You know Eve’s temptation – Satan’s first of many demonic demonstrations of his one trick wonder in Genesis 3. When you diminish the devil’s power by dismissing him, he’ll take note and take advantage of being relegated to scheming behind the scenes.

Note: that doesn’t make him any less dangerous to you and your family.

This weapon, this powerful weapon of prayer strengthens you. Ephesians 6:10 says, “Be strengthened by the Lord and by his vast strength.”

If you're looking for answers on what it really takes to be a Stepmom, it's time to uplevel your game!

Are you tired of all the double standards for Stepmoms? Do you find yourself searching for answers on the internet on how to deal with your exhaustion from all the bio-mama drama? Are you anxious and confused about your self-worth? Because your reality isn't matching up with your expectations and self-perception?

You know, it's like you're two different women, depending on whether you're in stepmom mode.

Is your biggest fear that your stepfamily battles will never end? In this podcast, you'll learn how to set Kingdom standards to free you from the world's unrealistic expectations.

Gain wisdom on dealing with difficult in-laws, outlaws and exes, and you'll acquire skills to become an influential voice in your blended family, based on who God says you are. My mission is to equip you with the armor you need to experience victory in your marriage, self-worth, clarity, and boundaries that work best for you and your blended family and growing faith in God's calling on you as a stepmom.

If you're ready to stop cognitive dissonance in its tracks, skyrocket your confidence and shave off years of disappointment, loneliness, resentment, and anxiety, you're in the right place!

Hey, I'm Jen wife, mom, stepmom, daughter of the King of Kings. Life coach, pickleball lover and chief planner. I've been known to get a tad bit preachy about the power of implementing small habits to make big changes without compromising what's important to you.

**If you're ready to stop chasing perfection in your stepfamily, end the exhaustion of blending, and finally get the answers you need so you can be heard, respected, and loved in your blended family, this podcast is for you.

God sees you Stepmama, and he says, "You are very good indeed!"**

Get comfy in this sacred space. It's time to create the family life you've been craving, one small step at a time. It all starts with you. All right; let's get to it!

Hey, Stepmama, I see you. I know it's hard. I know that you're tired of all the double standard. And that's why this podcast was created with you in mind, so that you can stop focusing on all those things that are dragging you down and start using the power, the gifts, and the influence that you have to embrace God's stewardship call on you as a Stepmama.

You are listening to the Bold and Blended Stepmoms podcast.

I'm Jen Rogers, your host, Chief Encourager, and new Stepmama friend, and I can't wait to get started! I pray today's episode blesses you, encourages you, and uplifts you. And most of all, ***I pray that you know you are not alone.

Be strong, and let your heart be courageous, all you who put your hope in the Lord.
Psalm 31:24***

EARLY BIRD NOTICE! Join the new FB Group for Women who are ready to do the work in their Stepfamilies!Big NEWS! Big ANNOUNCEMENT! Inside!!! **Today's amazing episode asks powerful questions about the church's role in ministering to stepfamilies.

Church Leaders: What if you (your church) were known for that consistent soft landing where kids felt safe to express their hurts about their broken families?**

What if you were the church that could roll out the welcome mat and say, "Come on in. We understand that life is tough for you as a blend. We may not get all your hurt, but we get that you have been hurt and we want to let you know that you are forgiven. It's safe here. Come on in.!"
**What if your congregation was known for welcoming and ministering to blended families?! What would change in your ministries & outreach?

Join Pastors Josh Groce & Bill Rogers, along with their wives, Kristy Groce & Jen Rogers as they explore these and other blending hot buttons and offer up some ideas about the theology of divorce.

What do you think? Do you agree?** The church is a blended family made up of adopted people into the kingdom family where all brothers and sisters. By adoption, we are all brothers and sisters. Not because we were born that way--we've all been grafted in and that's a blended family!

Blending is hard. It can take a little longer to understand that our kids and stepkids are struggling in similar ways we struggle; the challenges they face are somewhat similar to our own.

Meet Wanda Patrick. Wanda understands the challenges single parents and stepparents face. When her husband died, leaving her with two young children to raise alone, she didn't get a break between grieving and meeting the demands of single parenting; she was thrown into a world of heavy, emotional, physical, social, and financial demands. Can you relate?
When Wanda remarried, she greatly underestimated the difficulty of blending families and bonding with three teenagers. She believed if she was good to her husband's children and her husband was good to her children, they would accept each other and enjoy blending their families. But you know where I'm going with this--Wanda was wrong.

How to protect your heart in the midst of stepfamily hurt:

  1. Acknowledge the hurt is real. You hurt. Your spouse hurts. Your kids, biological & step, hurt.
  2. Imagine yourself hovering in a helicopter. Check out the view - what challenges are your kids facing as they blend?
  3. Purposeful prayer with your partner. Unity in prayer with your mate is the most powerful weapon you have to combat the hurt. Remember, God has already prepared the healing balm for your wounds!
  4. Get curious about the emotional response - experience anger as a clue that this moment, this relationship matters (see episode #55 for specific tips on how to manage your emotions)
  5. Practice forgiveness. While it may take some time for your feelings to line up, God will honor your repentant heart.
  6. Ask for help! Seek Coaches, counselors, therapists, & other stepfamily resources.

Ever wonder what your stepkids are thinking?! You're not alone, stepmom. We've got you, stepdad! The reason blending families feels so hard is because creating stepfamilies IS HARD!!!

From our guest: "We're humans. So it's going to be hard. I don't even fault my dad or my stepmom or my stepdad for the way they handled the situation. They handled it the best way they knew how; it just doesn't have a great outcome, but we're humans. So, it's a learning process. I hope by me speaking that it can impart some kind of deep pondering on to the adults listening."

Whew! Powerful words from our next guest, Terri Smith, Founder of Freshen Up and stepdaughter of two families who experiences significant transitions as Terri's parents determined how best to raise her. As stepparents still processing the impact of stepfamily dynamics, we appreciate Terry's nuggets of wisdom! Thank you, Terri for sharing with us on how to deal with the "stinky" situations of stepfamily living!

Note: This episode may be triggering. (Drug use and suicide)

Did you know that if a mother has used marijuana in the past year, her child is 80% more likely to use marijuana?

The stats for dads are even more shocking! A father who uses their child is 90% more likely to use marijuana.

Listen to this week's episode to get equipped with the knowledge you need to prevent your kids from dabbling in dabbing.

Today's episode is dedicated to the memory of Johnny Stack. May his death be a clarion call to parents, pastors, churches, and community leaders about the dangers of marijuana. #stopdabbing

Now that you know what your triggers are (Mission #008), it's time to understand what lies underneath the triggers.When you establish some ground rules, you can fight better fights!

Values are something that:

  1. Are at your core being
  2. Manifest in how you behave
  3. Can change over time, albeit usually slowly

What values are most important to you? To your marriage? To your stepfamily? Today's short podcast is your invitation to look at what's at the core of who you are. Ready? Let's dive in!

**We know that resistance comes in many forms. When we're caught up in the middle of the trial, it's easy to get distracted and get stuck. In today's episode, we invite you to come up with 3 simple, easy-peasy steps to get started. If you've got one big hairy, audacious goal, you've got to break it down to get started and show "overwhelm" the door.

*Register for the Workshop*! July 9 or July 16!

Here are 5 things, in addition to the SMARTER framework (*See Mission #003) to consider when evaluating your goals:*

  1. Difficulty (low/med/high)
  2. How important is this to you? To your marriage?
  3. What skills do you need to accomplish the goal?
  4. What's your commitment/motivation level? (low/med/high)
  5. Have you ever done this before? If not, it's likely going to take longer/be harder and will impact the difficulty level.

Download the Guide to Mission #003 here.

Join us in the Mastermind for Stepfamily Couples community to get answers to your questions, clarity on this week's mission, and an opportunity to be featured in Season 5!

PREVIOUS MISSIONS
Mission #001Mission #002

Mission #003 is all about getting SMARTER with your goals:
Specific
—your goals must identify exactly what you want to accomplish in as much specificity as you can muster.

Measurable—as the old adage says, “you can’t manage what you can’t measure.”

Actionable—every goal should start with an action verb (e.g., “quit,” “run,” “finish,” “eliminate,” etc.) rather than a to-be verb (e.g., “am,” “be,” “have,” etc.)

Risky—a good goal should stretch you, but not too much. I go right up to the edge of my comfort zone and then step over it.

Time-keyed—every goal needs a date associated with it. When do you plan to deliver on that goal. It could be by year-end (December 31) or it could be more near-term (March 31). A goal without a date is just a dream. Make sure that every goal ends with a by when date.

Exciting—you should be personally excited about achieving the goal. If this isn’t the case, then you likely won’t have the motivation necessary to continue pursuing the goal when you encounter unexpected challenges—which you inevitably will.

Relevant—your goal should be relevant—or aligned with—your values, your season in life, and your other goals.

Welcome to Season 5 where it's all about doing one mission at a time to create a beautiful legacy for your stepfamily!

Mission #002 is all about preventing divorce/re-divorce. It involves 3 key things:

  1. AWARENESS - Action is required
  2. INTENTION - Daily investments in your marriage
  3. FOCUS - Key, small deposits that protect your marriage

You can't do everything all the time, but you can do small things that create incredible momentum and prevent overwhelm.

Your Mission, should you choose to accept it, it to DECIDE TO SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE!
Action Steps for Mission #002

Begin the process of moving towards each other this way:

  1. How would you articulate your spouse's assessment of your marriage? What is their point of view? Invest 15 minutes today to write down how you think your spouse would describe your marriage.
  2. Schedule time on the calendar this week to share your thoughts with one another.
  3. Begin your conversation with prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to attune your ears to receive, learn, and adapt.
  4. Have a great conversation with each other, knowing this is sowing seeds that will bear fruit as you nurture your marriage, together!

Now that you've been together for a bit, a sneaky little thing called unmet expectations can begin to sabotage your starry-eyed love affair. That's why it is so important that you START WITH YOU! Because friends, YOU are where it's at in your stepfamily!
Oftentimes, we have high expectations and low communications when it comes to what we need in our relationships. Today's episode revisits a modified version of #39, where Bill & Jen share the importance of reducing unmet needs through the power of having a combined marriage mindset.

You know when you hear that mysterious rattle as you're driving in your car?Sure you do, it's the sound that mysteriously disappears the moment you attempt to explain it...well, reenact it, really, when you're chatting with the mechanic.

Your mechanic may raise his eyebrows at you as you hiss, screech, or make some other, "what the heck is wrong with my car" sound...but, he will listen. And...he'll pull your car into the shop to assess what's going on.

Bill and I propose the same strategy when it comes to your marriage.

When we discover the time is ripe for gathering specific tools to gain momentum and develop a marriage mindset, it's a good time for an assessment. It's also a great time to find others who have gone before you to help encourage and guide you along the way.

What if we could get our kids to do anything we wanted them to do? Would you like to know how?
SPOILER ALERT! All parents want their kids to do certain things at certain times, and in certain ways. Truthfully, instead of getting our kids to do whatever we want, it's more important to teach our kids how to think.
And that's what today's episode is all about. Bill and I explore fallacies, biases and propaganda. What do these three things have to do with blending families together?

That's where our expert guest, Kathy Gibbens host of The Filter it Through a Brain Cell Podcast, comes in!

Bad reasoning is everywhere! If it seems to you like the world has lost its mind, you're not alone. Logical fallacies, cognitive biases and propaganda are hidden in plain sight all around us.

And it you're wondering what on earth those words mean, don't feel bad...just a few years ago, Kathy didn't know what they meant either! Don't worry, she's got you. Learn more with a simple click here! But first, check out today's episode!

**What would your life be like if you knew your stepfamily was going to win the race – with the odds stacked against you? 80 to 1 odds in fact?

What compels us to root for the underdog?**

Let’s face it, in families, it can often feel like it is us against the world – Attacks on our belief systems to societal mocking of God’s design for marriage, we as Christians must be equipped to protect our families from the crosshairs of demonic influences, world directives, and false teachings.

No matter the negative messaging, or other's expectations, God’s immutable nature is exactly the support we need when we feel like the underdog. God calls us to run our race well. To keep our eyes on the finish line, fulfilling the purpose he has placed on our lives.

Before you do, join us today to explore this question: What would your life be like if you knew your stepfamily was going to win the race – with the odds stacked against you?

Kentucky Derby Deets BelowLucas Aulbach, Louisville Courier Journal In a shocking upset, Rich Strike, a late addition to the field, rushed past the competition in the final moments to score a win in the 2022 Kentucky Derby.

Rich Strike, from first-time Derby trainer Eric Reed and jockey Sonny Leon, blew past Epicenter and Zandon in the last seconds at Churchill Downs to score a win — and landing bettors who took him at 80-1 a sweet payday.

Did you know? More phone calls are made on Mother’s Day than any other day of the year. These holiday chats with Mom often cause phone traffic to spike by as much as 37 percent.

Funny thing, I couldn’t find any stats on the spike for stepmomma phone calls…

No matter the stats, today’s episode addresses the awkwardness for stepmommas on a day set aside to honor mothers.

Sometimes special occasions roll around and you're caught off guard with planning?Why does it sometimes feel as though holidays are a trap? (So says Bill on today's episode. Jen offers a slightly different take.)

Find out all the details of the "trappings" of Mother's Day celebrations. You already know some of them - unmet needs, undeclared desires, and huge disappointments.

We'll share how best sneak the cheese out of the trap before it snaps! And we'll model how we did it as we made the decision on how to celebrate as we recorded this episode!

Mommas, no matter the labels society applies, know your presence matters. You are a woman of influence! We pray the most abundant of blessings to you on this special day. Know that God sees your heart, your work, and your sacrifice as you steward your stepchildren.
Happy Mother's Day, Stepmommas!

Sometimes, it's really tough to have conversations about the money. That ends today, with this episode! It's time to get unstuck and move forward in your finances, together!How would you rate your financial literacy? How about your blended finances -- what rating would you give to you as a couple?

Too often, stepfamily couples fight about the money. But there is a better away. In today's episode, Terry shares how healthy conversations start regarding finances so couples can begin to experience real change, together.

Terry Pena is a Financial Planner and Founder of One Tenth Consulting. She and her husband created a financial plan to move to one income so Terry could stay home with their children when they were younger. That was the spark that kindled Terry’s 🔥passion🔥 for teaching financial literacy to Christian couples.

Terry outlines three simple points: the healing, the communication, and the planning for sound financial management that glorifies God (and removes a whole bunch of stress for you, too).

In today’s episode, we contemplate what Holy Week really means when it comes to our stepfamily relationships. We invite you to sit quietly together as a couple and contemplate the love of Jesus for you and your family.

When we choose to reject God’s best for our marriage and our family, we experience separation from God.

The most significant example of the dark void, the emptiness and loneliness of separation from God, is what Jesus experienced when he died on the cross on Calgary. His sacrifice is why we can declare we are holy, righteous, and redeemed! Praise God! Thank you, Jesus!

Is Your Marriage Necessary?

What do communication, accountability and unity look like in your blend? We'll talk about that and more in Episode #66!

In today's episode, we meet Joe Marshall and learn of his passion for loving people, how he got from the US to Australia, and God's called to the missionary life.

Not unlike many of you when Joe received direction from God, he wasn't so sure God had picked the right guy (or the right place). Fortunately, there's a lovely woman involved in Joe's story, who was key to God's calling.

Joe shares examples of cultural differences between what he grew up experiencing and the cultural norms he's been living in for the past two decades in Australia.

Some of those cultural shifts include language barriers, societal shifts, and everyday church life activities.

Hey, if you're in a blended family, you can definitely relate to cultural shifts because as you know, oftentimes it can feel like you're living in another country as your new family blends.

Discerning God's will in a noisy world requires intentionality. In today's episode, Bill and Jen share strategies that will work for you and your marriage so you can not only find the quiet, but begin to discern God's call, blessings, and stewardship authority for your family.

Here are the 5 simple steps:

**Aligning your marriage with God's will through the power of A, B, C, D, & E!

A: Attitude - ready to hear from God
B: Bible Study - Search for Scriptural Answers
C: Conviction of the Holy Spirit
D: Determine if we have peace: "Let peace be your referee!"
E: Expect Difficulty**

Today's episode draws from The Mystery of God's Will by Charles Swindoll (one of Bill's fave authors!)

Do you feel like it's too late for you to begin anew with your family? Is legacy building just for traditional families?

Not according to our next guest, Joel Settecase. Joel shares, "One of the most important and profound and touching truths of Scripture is the doctrine of adoption. Jesus is called the Son of God, and rightly so! The way that God speaks about us as his children, he uses the metaphor of adoption. He says in scripture, we've been given the spirit of adoption as sons (and daughters).

The very fact that God is our Father by way of adoption is so profound for any father.That has to speak to stepfathers! God took us from another family, another kingdom even, and he brought us to be with him."

Friends, it’s no mistake that the children God has given to you belong with you. The real question is not whether you can have a legacy. Instead, it's what are you doing to create the legacy God is entrusting to you to in your blend?

Bonus Mission! Meditation
A stewardship perspective relates to your talents (minas)
Christ uses the Parable of the Ten Minas in Luke 19:11–27 to teach about the coming Kingdom of God on earth. What is God's call on your stewardship role as a blended family spouse and parent?

You may be asking yourself; how does an NFL football career apply to blended families? Or how can it help me to listen to somebody who's experienced the fame and fortune of a great NFL career and exciting business ventures? Well, it wasn't always this way. Marques struggled too.

When he first began blending with his wife, Bonnie, things weren't easy. In fact, Marques shares that blending is one of the most difficult things he's ever done. Today's episode helps you understand that regardless of what life sends your way, you have a choice:

You can lay around on the sofa and mope and blame, or you can take a moment to lick your wounds and then get to work. Do the hard work. I like how Marques puts it: “If you don't have purpose in life, you're going to go through life aimlessly, which if you're going through life aimlessly, you have no strategic plan. If you have no strategic plan, tactical execution becomes almost impossible.”

Meet Marques Ogden, business consultant and former NFL player.

Marques became a speaker to help others succeed where he failed. He's an executive coach and corporate trainer. His passion is to create value for every client. On a personal note, we'd like to thank Marcus for his generosity of time and his demonstrating perseverance while providing value to us here at Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!

Do you want to raise children who act responsibly even when they don't feel like it? Kids who do the right thing, even when there is no one there to remind them? Children who act respectfully, even when they don't get their way? What about raising children who can solve problems, even if they don't have all the answers?

These are great questions. And I hear a resounding yes! Definitely the children we want to raise in stepfamilies! As we're initially blending together. There is a tsunami of challenges that we did not expect. In today's episode, we host Rachel Bailey, a parenting specialist with Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology. Rachel speaks about the yuck in parenting and discusses opportunities to learn how to deal with the yuck in our daily lives. She's helped thousands of families enjoy their kids again as they experience the switch from strategies that don't stick (band-aid parenting) to “long-game parenting,” which leads to results that last and make parents feel more confident and in control.

Can you relate to any of these emotional needs? 1. Connection & intimacy (we are social creatures by nature)
2. Significance (we have a need to know we matter)
3. Capability (we need to know we can handle what life throws at us)
4. Control (we need to feel a sense of control; predictability)
5. Security (we need to know that everything is going to be ok)

How do you protect what you cherish? Trust, honesty, and vulnerability are definitely required to get to the real good stuff of intimacy, sex, fun, and some lovely surprises along the way.
Sometimes, we have the idea that we've "arrived" in the sense that we know how to respond to our partner's needs. Yet, it is easy to overlook the fact that our spouse is changing. As we grow together, the most important aspect of cherishing one another is acknowledging these changes and being committed to giving each other what you want.

Three Things You Must Avoid To Get What You Want:
1. The wall of silence
2. Expecting your husband to read your mind
3. Assuming 'one and done' with your wife - she needs to hear, "I love you" frequently

Three things to do instead!
1. Plan together
2. Practice sharing what you need with words, understanding needs change as you grow
3. Pray as a couple and pray individually

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get the FREEBIE so you can get what you want! Email us at hello@stepfamilypodcast.com and we'll send it to you.

Blending is hard. Let's make it easier together. It can take a little longer to understand that our kids are struggling in similar ways we struggle; the challenges they face are somewhat similar to our own.

Meet Wanda Patrick. Wanda understands the challenges single parents and stepparents face. When her husband died, leaving her with two young children to raise alone, she didn't get a break between grieving and meeting the demands of single parenting; she was thrown into a world of heavy, emotional, physical, social, and financial demands. Can you relate?

When Wanda remarried, she greatly underestimated the difficulty of blending families and bonding with three teenagers. She believed if she was good to her husband's children and her husband was good to her children, they would accept each other and enjoy blending their families. But you know where I'm going with this--Wanda was wrong.

Join us in welcoming Wanda Patrick to Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!

How to protect your heart:

  1. Acknowledge the hurt is real. You hurt. Your spouse hurts. Your kids, biological & step, hurt.
  2. Imagine yourself hovering in a helicopter. Check out the view - what challenges are your kids facing as they blend?
  3. Purposeful prayer with your partner. Unity in prayer with your mate is the most powerful weapon you have to combat the hurt. Remember, God has already prepared the healing balm for your wounds!
  4. Get curious about the emotional response - experience anger as a clue that this moment, this relationship matters (see episode #55 for specific tips on how to manage your emotions)
  5. Practice forgiveness. While it may take some time for your feelings to line up, God will honor your repentant heart.
  6. Ask for help! Seek Coaches, counselors, therapists, & other stepfamily resources.

Listen, if you're on the brink of divorce, this is a story of the power of effective communication, hope and prayer.Bill and I are no strangers to communication miscues. I mean, when you spend more than eight years together with somebody not even factoring in that you have step-kids that you don't know what to do with, you will have some communication miscues!

Rick & Tess Scott are no different. His kids. Her kids. Their kids. It wasn't as simple as "just joining a new family." In fact, it wasn't simple at all. They married each other...twice. The "gap years" in between showed them 2 key actions to take so you don't experience a re-divorce.

No topic is off limits - from the guilt and shame many stepfamilies experience, to the pain and perseverance related to divorce, to the need for forgiveness and communication while participating in the power of God's redemption.

Ever had one of those "Monster in the Mirror" moments? You know, the ones where after screaming at the top of your lungs because your kid did something that made you livid, you end up in the bathroom, staring at your reflection in the mirror and asking yourself, "Who is THAT person?" That's definitely a Myggy Experience!

Becky Dozeman, a Licensed Social Worker and Therapist turned Life Coach, shares 5 steps to gaining control over the fight, flight, freeze response your amygdala is known for (in addition to highly entertaining detours loaded with Becky-isms).

Becky effuses energy, joy, and optimism as she shares her unique method on how you can respond when Myggy shows up. Her tips include:

  • understanding how our internal narrative impacts judgment and overwhelm
  • embracing the gift of your amygdala signifying that this moment means something
  • discovering the difference between shame and guilt
  • identifying exactly what you may need in the moment -- to get through the moment (hint: Keep the humans alive!)

Thank you, Becky for your generosity of time, your ability to combine Science, Story, & Scripture in easy-to-understand language, normalizing the functions of our brains.

How many of you have kids with phones? About how many apps do your kids use? How much time do they spend in these apps with their friends?

Whether or not you have teens or tweens, there's a chance you may not have the answers to some of these questions, or you feel confident that your kids would not do inappropriate things online. They know the boundaries.

What if the people on Tik TOK don't care about your boundaries? What happens if your kids are influenced by kid imposters on Snapchat? What if your kid was invited to meet somebody in person after connecting on Instagram? If you want your children to be safe online, it's important that you have the answers to these questions and more.

This week, Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!interviews Debbie Gates, Founder of Compassion to Act, a faith-based ministry on the front lines of confronting modern-day slavery.

"We're humans. So it's going to be hard. I don't even fault my dad or my stepmom or my stepdad for the way they handled the situation. They handled it the best way they knew how; it just doesn't have a great outcome, but we're humans. So, it's a learning process. I hope by me speaking that it can impart some kind of deep pondering on to the adults listening."

Whew! Powerful words from our next guest, Terri Smith, Founder of Freshen Up and stepdaughter of two families who experiences significant transitions as Terri's parents determined how best to raise her. As stepparents still processing the impact of stepfamily dynamics, we appreciate Terry's nuggets of wisdom! Thank you, Terri for sharing with us on how to deal with the "stinky" situations of stepfamily living!

How can someone on the inside feel like such an outsider?

The stadium buzzed with excitement. There was a football game our team was likely to win, but the game wasn’t the buzzing highlight of the evening. This special night featured a nod to high school seniors and their parents before the ready-to-conquer-the-world young men demonstrated their prowess on either side of the 50-yard line.

My stepson, a lover of the limelight, would be introduced with fanfare regarding his high school accomplishments and graduation plans as he was escorted onto the field by his parents.

I’d experienced senior night a few years ago with my daughters – a momma who understood the importance of the moment – a significant life marker- for both my child and me. My influence would dim even as I celebrated my child’s transition to adulthood. Senior night, a night when freight trains of memories with your kids growing up speed through your mind, the imprint of transition can feel overwhelming.

Listen in to today's episode for more of this story as Bill and I explore how values impact outcomes in everyday family life.

P.S. Here are the 3 tips for managing those more difficult family moments so you can preserve intimacy in your marriage and model peacemaking, too!

  1. Manage your anger. Understand the right timing, for you, to have a conversation about the event that triggered you. Sometimes, the best response is, "Can we go ahead and move it to tomorrow and address it the next day?"

  2. Practice the power of prayer. About this situation in particular, yes. Also leverage the power of praying together, as a couple, for your relationship and your family.

  3. Use the "Observation Conversation" method. Diffuse the anger before you initiate the conversation with your mate.

What does Superman have to do with step family living? Superman wears an outlandish costume. He uses a code name and he fights evil with the aid of extraordinary ability. (Thank you Wikipedia for the full description read in the intro.)

Often in step families, it feels like we've been sent to another planet, transitioning into a new family while desperately missing those left behind.

We encounter strange customs, languages and norms. It can feel like we don't quite fit in. There are times I've longed for a colorful costume embedded with superhuman flying capabilities to...well, truthfully, fly away from the more difficult challenges in my blend. Attacks of kryptonite have immobilized me.

I'm not the only one experiencing culture shock. The kids are too. That's the subject of today's rebroadcast.

Just as it's important to take inventory of our superpowers from time to time, we revisit key episodes that illustrate the power of sowing seeds into your legacy so you can live your best step family life right now.
Let's take inventory of unique perspectives of what it's like to live life in a blend from the stepchild's perspective. Welcome again, Miya Hunter-Willis to Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!
Miya shares things that happen to you do not need to define you. She also shares insights on progress over perfection. Bill and Jen invite you to focus on that very thing as you Blend Beautifully Together.

Welcome to today's episode of Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!, where we focus, not just on legacy building, but on living your legacy right now in your stepfamily.

Need help as you develop your co-parenting superhero abilities?
We invite you to enroll in our upcoming values workshops, where we focus on your superpowers and how they are the key to building your stepfamily legacy. Email us at hello@stepfamilypodcast.com for more details.

Sometimes when you're driving in your car, the windows fog up and it makes you slow down. Last week I went to a meeting and as I drove I realized it was tougher and tougher to see because bugs were all over for the windshield. So I had to pull over and wash the windshield. I've driven a lot of miles in the last few years as a salesperson.

And many times I know that I couldn't see as well as I would have liked. Sometimes the rain falls, sometimes it was snow ice, but no matter what it was, when it happened, I would react and drive accordingly.

That's the way it is in life too. Isn't it? Hi, I'm Bill Rogers with my lovely wife, Jennifer Rogers. Welcome to Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE! You Are Family Here!Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to listen to this podcast and grow and strengthen your stepfamily. You know, sometimes God's lens is different than our lens. In today's episode, we'll expand on this lens as we share three key points:

  • Flawless - God Keeps His Promises
  • Faith in Action in your Stepfamily
  • Flexibility

Welcome to Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE! YOU ARE FAMILY HERE!I inhaled deeply. The scent of the fabric softener filled the tiny laundry room as I opened the dryer door – not because I had this deep desire to fold laundry…nope. Instead, I was looking for tasks to take my mind off the disappointing evening. An evening that left me questioning what on earth I was doing back in the dating scene.

Hours before, I had been looking forward to a lovely dinner meeting someone new. And then…as I was admiring my painted nails looking so pretty in my gorgeous heels, a beep on my phone alerted me of a new message. While I was on time, early even, waiting in the restaurant lobby as I thought about this first date, mystery man was miles away.

“I’m running a little late. I needed to take care of something.” So…

Listen in for the rest of the story that leads me to today’s podcast, focusing on VALUES. Values are things that you believe are important in the way you live, work, and “do” family. They often determine your priorities, impacting every area of your life. When you live in alignment with your values, you experience more joy and contentment. But, when things feel out of alignment, like they often can in stepfamilies (especially at the beginning), you experience frustration and chaos. This can be a real source of unhappiness. This is why making a conscious effort to identify your values is so important. Bill and I talk about how this plays out in stepfamily life in today’s episode of Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE! P.S. Guys – heads up – you just don’t go Dutch, ok?

What do you think of when I say, “Diet Dr. Pepper”? Hold that thought.

Welcome to Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE! YOU ARE FAMILY HERE!In today’s episode Bill and I interviewed a Couples Financial Coach, Adam Kol.

When I was growing up my dad was gone often enough – he worked for the railroad to feed 6 kids. I’m not quite the baby, I’m actually second youngest. As I reflected on my money experiences, I recalled how the money culture in our home shifted several times as the family dynamics changed. My mom re-entered the workforce after I went to kindergarten – or maybe it was after my baby sister, Kat, started school. Up until then, my mom stayed home with all of the kids. I’m not sure who had the more challenging vocation – but I think it’s a close race between the two of them.

Dad earned the dollars and mom managed the home. Mom was a deal-finder. Each week, when the adds came out, she’d compare her list with the sales at the stores and off we’d go to at least 3 or more grocery stores to get the goods. Remember the diet dr. pepper? That was always on sale at the Piggly Wiggly – what an odd name for a grocers!

Early on I didn’t have an appreciation for amount of money exchanged for groceries, but as I grew up, I’d see the wad of twenties my dad gave my mom before it was time to shop. My eyeballs were pretty big! Now, my eyeballs getting big when I see the price tags on the goods in the aisles.

Which brings me to the topic of this week’s episode – it’s all about the money, honey. In more difficult conversations, it’s easy to get caught up in what we expect the other person to say – so much so, that we might actually miss what they did say. Adam’s advice is to approach more difficult conversations with a sense of curiosity. When Adam put a pin in the conversation that triggered him, and let the ideas marinate, he gained an aha moment.

What about you? Do you agree with Adam’s approach to be curious?

We invite you to learn more about your couple's money personality type by taking the quiz on Adam's website. You can also find Adam's podcast here.

Welcome to Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE! YOU ARE FAMILY HERE!
You know when you hear that mysterious rattle as you're driving in your car? Sure you do, it's the sound that mysteriously disappears the moment you attempt to explain it...well, reenact it, really, when you're chatting with the mechanic.

Your mechanic may raise his eyebrows at you as you hiss, screech, or make some other, "what the heck is wrong with my car" sound...but, he will listen. And...he'll pull your car into the shop to assess what's going on.

Bill and I propose the same strategy when it comes to your marriage. I know. I know. Ideally, we'd assess things before the sr!e^ech!!! happens, but you and I know that's not how things go down. Nope, we are definitely starry-eyed and in love and fully expect that love to get us over the hurdles of blending.

When we discover the time is ripe for gathering specific tools to gain momentum and develop a marriage mindset, it's a good time for an assessment. It's also a great time to find others who have gone before you to help encourage and guide you along the way.
I’m curious, How often do you and your partner talk about your marriage mindset? Ready to Start With You and recapture that starry-eyed love affair? Great! Let’s get started!

In today’s episode Bill and I continue the exploration of what it means to Start With You. Now that you've been together for a bit, a sneaky little thing called unmet expectations can begin to sabotage your starry-eyed love affair.

That's why it is so important that you START WITH YOU! Because friends, YOU are where it's at!We pray you enjoy this episode of Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!, and if so, rate and review!

Welcome to Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE! YOU ARE FAMILY HERE!Did you catch the Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE! tagline? When the idea came to me, it felt so right. So good. So welcoming! It's focused on the most important aspect of our role in our families. You are family here! All too often in stepfamilies, we focus on the step. That focus sometimes causes us to forget our gifts. Our God-given strengths. Our superpowers.

That got us thinking about what to share with you next. Welcome to episode 38! In this episode we do a deep dive into the first stage of our membership, Start With You.

At Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!, we believe all things are possible with God. Nowhere in the bible do we find God distinguishing between step and non step families. Do you? Instead, we read of God’s blessings and goodness for marriages. We read His guidance for how to love with the love of Jesus. I am reminded of the scripture that graced our wedding invitation, “We love because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19

In today’s episode Bill and I explore what it means to Start With You. Remember when you first met? How expectant you were of exciting things between you and your date? Was that really you? Or, was it your representative on best behavior?

8 years ago, when Bill and I were dating, it was electrifying! The hum of excitement was visceral – from the warm feeling inside revealed by the flush on my cheeks to the high energy levels surging through my body – I couldn’t wait to spend time with him! We acknowledged each others’ gifts and celebrated them. We didn’t call them superpowers per se, but they were definitely super-powerful! These strengths are key gifts that will help us Blend Beautifully, Together – if – and only if – we nurture them in one another. In this episode, we celebrate them and discuss how we can use them to parent our families well.

A quick reflection on superpowers: Bill and I re-discovered ours when we took the time to help others focus on their strengths during a stepfamily couples’ challenge we hosted earlier this year. Here’s what Bill said, “I’m a synthesizer, taking complex things and making them simple, and Jen is the consummate encourager, so together, we’re “Simply Encouraging!

I’m curious, How would you and your partner describe your couples' superpower? Ready to Start With You and recapture that starry-eyed love affair? Great! Let’s get started!

Welcome to Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE! YOU ARE FAMILY HERE!Season 4 kicks off with a new name and co-host! With nearly a year of hosting under my belt, it’s time to shake things up as we build upon the energy of Blended on the Bluff and embrace Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE! Consider it analogous to moving into a new house. As you begin to position furniture and unpack boxes, you make “get started” choices. The furniture may stay in that room, the plates will likely stay in this kitchen cupboard, the washer and dryer are definitely in the right spot, and this thing in the box, well… “Why on earth did we even move that here?”!

As we move into this new season, we explore what it means to put into practice “All things are possible with God.” Yes. All things stepfamily, are possible, with Jesus at the center.

Are things sometimes weird in your stepfamily? Have you found yourself feeling uncomfortable talking about certain things with your partner? As I revved the equipment up to set to record with my next guest, this is exactly what I experienced. Despite totally enjoying the podcasting format with amazing expert guests in previous seasons, I began to feel unqualified. Nervous. Flummoxed.

But….why?

Tune into this week's episode to find out!

Guess what? The Bluff is getting a makeover!As I hang another number on my birthday tree this week, I’m beginning to see a future vision take place. It starts with a name. If I were to ask you to give me a biblical example of when God gave someone a name change, who would you choose?

  • Abram to Abraham?
  • Sarai to Sarah?
  • Jacob to Israel?
  • Simon to Cephas or Peter?
  • Hadassah to Esther?
  • Or the writer of much of the new testament – Saul to Paul?

I was first struck with the importance of a name change when I got remarried. I recall a friend asking me whether I was taking my man’s last name or keeping my own. After all, my entire career and past 24 years I was known by a different name. When responding to my friend, I chuckled and thought, “I hadn’t really considered this aspect of remarrying before!” And as soon as I said that, I realized I was going to change my name. Better stated, I knew then, just as I do now, that God’s hand was in this name change.

The new name was yet another sign of dramatic changes occurring underneath the surface. God had been moving in my life as I had invited him into my everyday. While I grew up in a church, I didn’t have the deep connections, relationships, or mentoring to understand what knowing Jesus was all about. That’s not discrediting those in my circle of influence, it’s merely a statement of my lack of knowing and exploring who Jesus was to me.

As Blended on the Bluff transitions, we will continue to explore and apply who Jesus is to stepfamilies. I invite you along for the amazing journey where all things are possible with God. And yes, that means being successful in your blend is what this podcast, Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!, is all about. We'll be back in July with makeover art and new conversations and a surprise guest co-host!

Our conversation covered many areas, with an emphasis on 4 Key Areas:
1. It's not going to happen quickly
2. Avoid the comparison trap
3. You are your own family; Blended Parents are uniquely gifted to be the stewards
4. Value "layers" don't always line up, especially when we're dealing with high conflict exes.

Here are some other nuggets!

  • Your stepfamily motto? Don't have one? How about Do It Scared!
  • Obedience - for Tess, it relates to her writing. What is God calling you to?
  • There's only room for one mom. Where does that leave the stepmom, then?
  • Forgiveness is freeing.
  • While you may not love your ex, you love your kid! You're just going to have to suck some things up for the sake of the children!
  • Powerful pauses
  • Holy promptings

Did you know that 50% of Americans have math anxiety? So says my next guest, Dr. Aditya Nagrath. Find out how 2+2 = stepfamily success, while acknowledging the risks involved in developing skills in areas that are difficult for us. Listen in to today's episode of Blended on the Bluff, featuring Dr. Aditya Nagrath, Chancellor at Elephant Learning and Chief executive officer at Elephant Head Software.Oftentimes in blended families, we are in the business of risk…risk of emotions overtaking any family member, risk of rejection or risk of failure. Yet, we are called to be an “investor.” A steward. A blended parent who doesn’t have all the answers but is willing to put him or herself out there because God has called them to this family.

Listen in for how these 3 tips that apply to teaching your kids math also apply to blended families:1. Be extra sensitive about the words you use.
2. Identify patterns that cause frustration. Then break the pattern.
3. Find a child-led approach to the situation – you’re listening to them, not telling them.

There you have it! That's the condensed version of how 2+2 = an episode on Blended on the Bluff. If you’re struggling with your own stepfamily equation, I promise not to pepper you with a bunch of formulas. Instead, I’ll listen and work with you to move from where you are to where you long to be. Book a call today at stepfamilypodcast.com today

Are you blending families and wondering what on earth you 'signed up' for? Are you craving an ordinary family life? Perhaps you find yourself Chasing Ordinary. Listen in as Prissy brightens our space, shining light on triumphs and challenges we all experience in our families. Prissy shares about the power of pushing through limiting beliefs, practicing forgiveness, and how persistence pays off when studying your craft. (When's the last time you thought of blended family parenting as a craft?!)

Our children are on the blended journey with us, as we shake the illusions of perfection and embrace the imperfect goodness we are offered each day. Many days are hard in a stepfamily, I know, especially for the children. I dedicate this episode to Prissy's daughters, Garrett and Sara Britton. I feel like I know so much about you while in truth, I know very little. For those beautiful pieces your momma shared in her memoirs, I am grateful. Her love for you is undeniable!

Jen: "Complete this sentence: Your life is fine on a Tuesday when you're folding laundry, and then..."

Prissy: "Nothing's ordinary again. The earth shifted and my balance, once solidly grounded, was pretty much lost."

Does this sound like what happened to you when you blended your families together? Is your blended life, Far Outside The Ordinary? Listen in as Prissy shares a bit of her journey as she lives out the message God has given her. As Prissy says, "The mess is the message and if you want to be grateful, you've got to go through the mess."

I dedicate this episode to the memory of Prissy's dear family friend and caregiver, Cornelius Duhart. It is often through the care of others that we learn the most about what we truly need.

Ten Commandments of Blended Family Life

  1. Over communicate with all adults involved: choose a format/technology that works, and use it. When in doubt, communicate about it.
  2. Be respectful, calm, and patient with everyone involved, even if you’re the only one doing it (“A soft answer turns away wrath”).
  3. Use discernment to learn to choose your battles very carefully: differentiate between personal dislikes and ‘red flag’ issues.
  4. Be willing to graciously give way on minor issues. Yes, this comes with risk, but it’s still the right thing to do sometimes.
  5. Choose to believe the best about the other household, and be sure to celebrate and acknowledge it when you see it ("A real desire to believe all the good you can of others and to make others as comfortable as you can will solve most of the problems." - CS Lewis, in 'Mere Christianity').
  6. Express genuine gratitude as often as possible whenever a joint agreement is reached.
  7. Remember every day that you are the adult, and your task is to model maturity and wisdom for your children. Your task is NOT to ‘win’, get revenge, or even get your own way.
  8. Don’t be afraid to ask for 3rd-party help from a counselor, pastor, neutral friend, or someone else that all parties are comfortable with.
  9. Work through your personal issues on your time, NOT in front of or by involving the children.
  10. Be as consistent as possible at both (or all) houses in all areas of life. Also remember that total consistency is impossible, even in traditional families.

3 Questions come to mind when I reflect on my conversation with Debbie Ausburn:

  1. Do you have a disaster plan for your family?
  2. What’s in your blended family first aid kit?
  3. Are you doing surgery on your kiddos, without anesthesia?

These questions and more are answered in this episode as Debbie weaves her fostering, social work, and step-parenting experiences into her work as a lawyer. Curious? Me, too! Hit the PLAY button!

You can find Debbie's new release, Raising Other People’s Children, What Foster Parenting Taught Me About Bringing Together a Blended Family, on her website. She recounts the lessons that her foster children taught her about raising children who had lost their intact biological families, and how she put those lessons into practice when she married and helped raise a blended family.

ENCORE PRESENTATION! HIGHEST RATED PODCAST FROM SEASON 2! (Part 2 Here)
Marriage is hard . . . blended family marriages are harder.Welcome to the Bluff, Megan Bottom! Thank you for sharing your heart and passion for stepfamilies as well as parts of your new book, Nana's Pearls!

Listen in! I'm sure you'll relate to Teá, who quickly realized this truth, the hard of marrying again as she blended. Have you ever asked yourself this question, "Is there hope for my 2nd marriage, or will this one fail like the last one?"

Ephesians 4:26 Be angry, but don’t sin — don’t let the sun go down before you have dealt with the cause of your anger;

But, but, but, but....How many buts are obstacles you've placed between you and God?Forgiveness is definitely an asset in a stepfamily! Do you have Key of Grace?Nana's Pearls Release Day today! 11/12/20
I highly recommend Megan's book, Nana's Pearls. Megan paints a beautiful picture that had me nodding my head throughout the book in understanding Tea's hurt, doubts, unforgiveness, self-sabotage and lack of hope in her blended family marriage. Do you know Hope? The Hope that heals? Nana lovingly and firmly shares pearls of wisdom with her granddaughter as Tea navigates her sea of hurt and begins to see the power of Hope through the power of forgiveness. At times raw, other times funny, I was 100% on Tea's side...until I started peeling away my own layers of unforgiveness. Tissues required.

You know when you get told, "You knew what you were getting into when you got married, with stepkids," and you just want to flip out and scream in response? Yeah. Me, too. Truthfully, no one really understands what they're getting into when they enter into a blended family.

It's complicated. Listen in as Megan Bottom and I share real-life blended scenarios, talk about that 'woman' in our blended homes, decision fatigue, boundaries, and having a game plan in place. Often, when we are overwhelmed, it leads to poor decisions. Hence, the emphasis on the importance of unity with your spouse and having mutually respected boundaries that guide and protect.

Are liabilities in your blend creating unwanted battles in your home? Join us as we use the analogy of investing in your home as it relates to diving into a new stepfamily -- it takes time to build equity within your home!

As a blended parent, how do you gain authority in your home? Have you recognized the impact of permissive authority in your blend?

Who gives it? Rescinds it? Remands it? The Authority Grantors.Cheryl and I discuss that the authority you have as a stepparent comes from the bio parents and your stepkids. A person with INFLUENCE always has access whereas simply being in a position of authority doesn't necessarily give you influence or access to your child's heart.

Listen in as Cheryl Shumake and I pick up where we left off in an enlightening conversation about 1) the differences between being a peacekeeper and a peacemaker; 2) the distinctions related to authority and influence, and 3) the 'gulp' in the gulf!

What's something you don't put on your resume or business bio? "I was divorced 3 times...my mom divorced when I was 6. Remarried when I was 7. Then, divorced at 12. My mom remarried when I was 13. Again, she divorced when I was 19," says my recent guest, Marie Mack, Business Owner, First Cup to Close. Marie is an entrepreneur who puts her stepchild experience and military finesse into practice as she manages priorities in her life.

Full disclosure here - I was again reminded of the impact divorce and remarriage has on our children. As one caught up in the divorce, I didn't initially comprehend that my children were going through a divorce, too. I knew they were experiencing the effects of divorce, but I didn't quite grasp that they were divorcing, too. Thank you, Marie, for this powerful reminder.

Be sure to listen to the end to hear Marie share a defining moment. A typical Wednesday, Marie found herself sitting in a chapel, receiving a word from a stranger that she describes as God's message to her. So good, Marie! Thank you for opening the door to kick out the shame often associated with kids who experience things they don't quite know how to deal with.

I dedicate this episode to all stepkiddos who have/are dealing with the fallout of divorce. As Marie so beautifully reminded us, you are divorcing, too. I pray you receive God's healing balm and accept his offer of HOPE and EXPECTANCY for how God has gifted you to turn that pain into purpose.
Marie's adaptability has become a framework for her success! Foundational steps Marie uses in her business and home life apply to stepfamilies, too. Be sure to check out Marie's Workflow Foundations, a free resource for you from the giftedness of Marie!

"That's yucky." Picture a two year old turning up her nose at dinnertime...just before the tantrum comes. Fast forward decades later, she may turn up her nose again, albeit with a sophisticated twist: "My family life is exhausting. " Both are forms of Yuck, because Yuck is like that...a slithering snake of a lost job, the pain of a breakup or confusion caused by the aftershocks of divorce. Or, the chaos of blending families. Yes friends, if you're blended, you've experienced Yuck!

So, how do you deal with it all? Listen in for key strategies from Rachel Bailey, a parenting specialist, who lit up the podcast with practical, everyday solutions to manage the Yuck.
Join me in welcoming Rachel to the Bluff today! She's a woman on a mission to help parents feel more in control while raising responsible, resilient, confident kids.

In this episode, Rachel and I share the importance of parenting for the long haul. We talk about the beauty of how the brain works to protect us from Yuck, the dangers of band-aid parenting, and five emotional needs we have, whether parents or kids.
Can you relate to any of these needs?

  1. Connection & intimacy (we are social creatures by nature)
  2. Significance (we have a need to know we matter)
  3. Capability (we need to know we can handle what life throws at us)
  4. Control (we need to feel a sense of control; predictability)
  5. Security (we need to know that everything is going to be ok)

Each area requires one step at a time.

As Kaysi and I chat about her dog Marshmellow (yes, that's the proper spelling for this podcast!), we tackle how peer pressure, compromise, and trying (aka failing) relate to parenting and finances.Remember, investing in YOU is not a "one shot wonder".

You know when you're hanging with friends and you feel like a fifth wheel? Well, that's similar to triangulation that often occurs in blended families. There's an inherent tendency for us to stick to our norms...and triangulate bio family members against step members. What if we could flip that script? Listen in for suggestions on how you can create and enhance bonds with your stepkids while building into your blended marriage, too.

Join me in welcoming my entertaining guests, Mike & Kristine Stensland, creators of blending.love for Part 2 of our time together on the Bluff!Are you struggling with honoring a high conflict ex-spouse who is making you more than just a bit crazy? Let's work together to develop a strategy to honor that person, nurture the bond between your stepkids and high conflict ex while establishing boundaries. Email me at **hello@stepfamilypodcast.com

Mike & Kristine are experienced blenders with 4 kiddos between them. After launching their last blended kid off to college, they were empty nesters for 8 days before the pandemic impacted the norm and their son returned home.

What do black bears have in common with stepfamilies?
“The sudden presence of a male bear can precipitate family breakup. At first, the mother is torn between her yearlings and the persistent male, but within a day after family breakup, she will chase her yearlings away whenever she encounters them." Has this happened in your blend?

Thanksgiving Proclamation  Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor—and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.”

Part 2 picks up with the importance of boundaries in marriage and stepfamilies.Do you have decision fatigue? Listen in for great suggestions on how get more energy as you Beautifully Blend, with boundaries.

Marriage is hard . . . blended family marriages are harder, especially when we consider the loss that preceded the stepfamily union.Looking for Part 1 ? Find it here!Welcome to the Bluff, Megan Bottom! Thank you for sharing your heart and passion for stepfamilies as well as parts of your new book, Nana's Pearls!

  • C.S. Lewis Mere Christianity (Trinity of Father, Son, Holy Spirit)
  • Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend Boundaries

Vital Boundaries in 3 Key Areas
1. in your Home
2. around your Marriage
3. that you are Willing to Die For/No Compromise in key areas

  • Do you have caution tape boundaries? How about picket fence boundaries? Finally, do you have barb wired boundaries?
  • How do you demonstrate valuing your family members, especially your kiddos? How are you a faithful steward?

Nana's Pearls Released on Amazon!
I highly recommend Megan's book, Nana's Pearls. Megan paints a beautiful picture that had me nodding my head throughout the book in understanding Tea's hurt, doubts, unforgiveness, self-sabotage and lack of hope in her blended family marriage. Do you know Hope? The Hope that heals? Nana lovingly and firmly shares pearls of wisdom with her granddaughter as Tea navigates her sea of hurt and begins to see the power of Hope through the power of forgiveness. At times raw, other times funny, I was 100% on Tea's side...until I started peeling away my own layers of unforgiveness. Tissues required.

**You know when couples get remarrried, with stepkids? It's definitely not what many couples expect (nor what the kiddos are anticipating!)

Today's episode, slightly edited from its original publication, mimics what it means to blend "families" (aka platforms) together.
What it means:**
1. It feels like starting over.
2. It's a bit fuzzy to me why the family members (platforms) won't work well together
3. More work is required.
4. I feel a bit frustrated about the time it is taking to make this right.
5. The help desks on different platforms are directing me to yet another help desk. (It's like they are speaking another language!)

What I choose:
1. Acknowledging that my roots are important (in my blend and in my podcasting journey).
2. Even though it is fuzzy, I'm following the steps because I'm trusting the information I have right at this moment.
3. Asking myself the question: Is this important? The answer is, "Yes!" Ministering to blended families is a passion of mine!
4. Same - I'm still frustrated!
5. Being clear on what I want and willing to learn some new lingo, too.

While I am definitely NOT in the same place at the inaugural recording September 3, 2020, I can relate to my old self's perspective at this time.

Since then, I've moved from STUCK to UNSTUCK in my blend.

Sharing a bit of my story with the world helped me to heal, grow, and help others along the way.

As a Stepfamily Life Coach, I'm passionate about helping couples move from a house divided into Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!™ In Season 4, my best bud, soulmate, friend, and hubby joined in this ministry. Now that is definitely turning what feels impossible into Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!™ **Like this episode? Great! Thank you! Please, tell a friend!

We help stepfamily couples turn what feels impossible into Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!**We offer real-life solutions you can start implementing right away. We help you understand how critical YOU are as leaders in your family to create a kingdom legacy that relies on God’s best for your family.

If you’re ready to ditch the chaos caused by high conflict stepfamily norms, regain intimacy as a couple, and begin to live your Kingdom Legacy right now, you’re in the right place. We pray you enjoy this episode of Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!, and if so, rate and review!
