Description

Radical Stepmoms is a podcast about the good, bad and really ugly moments about raising a child that you didn’t create. Here I’ll discuss the realities of co-parenting, the ways stepmother hood affects a marriage, the relationship with our step kids and most of all... navigating the relationship with ourselves. I want each episode to leave you feeling validated, empowered and oh-so radical, so pour yourself a la croix, a glass of red...or whatever, and listen in on Radical Stepmoms.
