Stepmom

In 1 Kings 3, we see a story of King Solomon making a wise judgment to determine the "real mother" of a child after some question of his custody. Ultimately, the "real mother" was deemed to be the woman who sought to preserve and protect the child and his wellbeing, even though it might have required sacrifice on her part. In this podcast episode, we're talking all about being a stepmom and the two amazing ladies sharing their wisdom on this episode really echo the same sentiment of the "real mother" in this story from 1 Kings: it's all about what's best for the kids. Michelle Woodyard and Lauren Stroud coparent two of their children, and in this episode they discuss their relationship with one another and how they came to a place of mutual understanding that they wanted to work together in relationship for the sake of their children. No step-parenting situation is ideal and every relationship takes work, but these ladies offer incredible advice for "what's the goal" in step-parenting and discuss why coparents must work together for the best outcome for the kids. Don't let the title fool you; this podcast isn't just for stepmoms... this is for every "real mother" out there working through a step-family situation who just wants whatever is best for the kids, whether as the stepmom or as the biological mom. Be sure to SHARE this episode with any woman you know that could benefit from an honest conversation on this topic!
