The One About Step-Parenting, Finding Your Role, Discipline & New Family Dynamics with Jamie Scrimgeour

Ep. 250

In her 20’s Jamie met a man, who happened to be a father of 3 and found herself in the new role of a step parent. Entering into parenthood part way, with a role that didn’t seem to have a lot of information and support, Jamie found herself frustrated and alone in the experience and decided to do something about it. Now, Jamie has a world-wide community of step-parents accessing support and guidance through the world of what is often painted as the “villain” and with some guiding words for us co-parenting folks, too.
