Mini Wife Episode

I wish I would have heard this episode 6 years ago when I started my stepmom journey. Thank you for bringing light to a serious topic that can effect the entire family so much. I love this podcast!

JVPMedia ,

Finally, a podcast for us!

Jaime really has cultivated a space for stepmoms to grow!

Yerbuaeilla ,

Thank you, Jamie🩵

I am so grateful for this podcast. Being a stepmom is the hardest thing I have ever done. I have been in such a dark place for too long. I recently discovered this podcast, and not a minute too soon. I am now ready to do the work I need for myself and my stepfamily life. I look forward to each new episode. I want to thank Jamie for sharing her wisdom and light with the world. You have changed my life for the better.
