A podcast dedicated to the dynamic community of women navigating the realm of stepparenting.

This Podcast was inspired by my blog, The Pondering Nook, where I write about my own experiences as a stepmom, mom, partner, and my own self-improvement journey.

Each week the podcast airs there will be a topic or question posted in the days prior on The Pondering Nook’s Facebook & Instagram. I’ll discuss the topic on the show and read the responses (many will be anonymous!) Most episodes are under 30 min so you can listen while you’re on the go, on your lunch break, or on your drive to work.
