    Relatable. Amazing Stories. Can’t wait for more!
    Oh my gosh I stumbled upon this podcast and I’m obsessed. I have been searching and listening to step-mom podcasts but always tried to take what was being said and apply it to my life. It’s SO refreshing to hear stories that I can actually relate to. The interviews are amazing and give such insight to how others feel in a similar situation. I LOVE the questions and the back and forth Kate has with her guests. It’s so natural and feels like I’m just listening to friends talk. There are so many topics I hope I hear on this podcast. I’m so happy I found it 🖤🖤
