This week on The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast, I am chatting with Best-Selling Author and lawyer Rebecca Zung. As a globally sought-after expert in negotiation and co-parenting with a high-conflict personality, Rebecca shares tips and strategies to help you effectively negotiate with a high-conflict ex, and win.

This week on The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast, I am interviewing Stepmom, Bio Mom and Podcast Host Mindy Wender about her unique perspective on blended family life. 

Mindy and I dive into co-parenting special needs children and what people really need to understand, sending rage texts (and why it’s not the most productive form of communication) and how to properly deal with a high-conflict ex. 

She also shares how different her two co-parenting situations are (with her ex and her partner's ex) and how she navigates the different dynamics.

Todays guest is Dr. Gertrude Lyons. She is on a mission to rewrite the Mother Code, and help women heal their motherwound and debunk the myths of motherhood.

She is a Master Life Coach and Relationship Expert with over 20 years of experience. Through her Rewriting The Mother Code initiative, which challenges the traditional notions of motherhood and womanhood she has become a national mothering revolutionary. She believes Dr. Lyon’s belief, all women have a “mother code” instilled in them—the current model for mothering in our culture is broken. It is limited, constricting, and disempowering. She questions preconceived beliefs and leans into topics that will tap into the powerful femininity within all of us.

In this episode we talk about the myths around motherhood, how our childhood and cultural experiences impact how we view motherhood and how moms can and should write their OWN mothercode.
