Hey fellow stepmoms,

This was a huge year for the podcast. Like really huge.

When I first started this podcast I wasn’t sure how long I would be able to keep it going. How the heck was I going to find guests and topics to cover each and every week? But here we are at over 125 episodes and the guests and topics just keep flowing.

This year we interviews guests that I NEVER thought I would be able to sit down and talk with. I never dreamed of having conversation with people like Heidi Powell, Lori Harder, Dave Hollis, Jen Sincere and Nedra Taweeb Glover to name a few.

We started to ask the big names to come on the show with a “what do we have to lose?” attitude. The worst thing that could happen was that they would say no. To our surprise, most of them said YES!

As we wrap up 2021, I thought I share a list of the top episodes of 2021.

Looking back on all our episodes and growth in 2021, I have to pinch myself
