In this week’s episode, Jessica, Matt, and Steve discuss the realities of being a step-parent and what Jessica would have done differently if given the chance.
Hi guys, this is Jessica, and this week, we're back with a new episode! In it, we discuss something a lot of women experience: the realities of being a step-mom.
Just like being a mother, being a step-mom can be difficult, scary, and emotionally draining. Navigating those relationships with your spouse's ex and your step-children is never easy, and so, sometimes, mistakes happen.
And today, I own up to the mistakes I made as a new step-mom. I believe all mistakes can be lessons, and I hope you can learn from mine, just like I did!
So, if this sounds like your cup of tea, grab yourself a drink, have a seat, and tune in!

- A quick catch up (00:55)
