Relationships · Jamie Scrimgeour
by Jamie Scrimgeour
You can love your life and still want more from it. And you don't need everyone to understand why. Permission with Jamie Scrimgeour is a weekly podcast about marriage, family, boundaries, money, ambition, and the things women feel but don't say out loud. Saying no without writing a paragraph to explain it. Wanting more from your marriage. Dealing with the mother-in-law, the ex, or the person you can't cut out. Going after something big without making it sound smaller so everyone else feels comfortable. Jamie is a former child protection social worker, a business owner, and the host of a top-charting podcast with nearly 2 million downloads. Through conversations with guests like Gabby Bernstein, Nedra Glover Tawwab, Terri Cole and Keltie Knight, plus honest solo episodes and a few with her husband Darren, she gets into what happens when women start making decisions based on the lives they actually want. Permission to stop being the bigger person. To change your mind. To buy the jeans. To book the trip. To have a boundary someone doesn't like. To want what you actually want. New episodes every Monday. Formerly The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast. Stepfamily life is still part of the conversation. Because you're a whole woman with a life beyond that role

It is so helpful hearing from someone with an optimistic, forward moving perspective on being a stepmom! You will not find any coddling or excessive complaining here, but rather many helpful tips on living your best life while managing very stressful situations and unmet expectations. Being a stepmom is really hard, this podcast makes it easier to stay motivated and to accept that hard does not mean bad. We’ve got this stepmoms!
I found out about this podcast from a random TikTok comment after searching how to deal with high conflict coparent situations as a step mom and I am so grateful. I went into being a stepmom so naive and truly unprepared and I’m still very much a work in progress but this podcast has helped me start my journey and manage my stress and anxieties. I started therapy because of the first episode I listened to. I am forever grateful for the work you do. THANK YOU!
An avid listener from Alabama, I discovered this Podcast two years ago, when I was in some thick thornbushes of step-mom life. Jamie helped me realize so much and to realize how it’s not me personally, but what I represent. The more people that love the child the better, right? But unfortunately, not everyone sees it that way. Thank you for being such a rock for us step-moms. You are valued and appreciated 💙
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!
