Divorce, Step Moms, and Getting Along for Your Kids with Bio-Mom Abi and Step-Mom Katy

Send us a text


Biological mom Abi and step-mom Katy are choosing to "family" for
the sake of their children. Katy met Will on a dating app and
learned that he had 4 kids (ages 8, 8, 5, and 3).  There can
be a lot of stigmas around divorce and the relationship between
the biological mom and the biological father's new
partner. 

Abi talks about meeting her ex-husbands new parter, Katy, for the
first time and how she instantly felt a connection and how they
were able to build trust.  

During the episode, Abi reads a letter she wrote to her
ex-husbands new partner when she first got divorced. 

Abi and Katy discuss their relationship and how they choose to
co-parent. 

In this episode, Katy and Abi get practical about:


Being a united front in both households

How Katy asked really great questions about parenting styles

Expectations around screen time and discipline

Communication and how Abi doesn't mind being the "bad guy"
when it comes to discipline

Involving grandparents and in-laws 



Katy owns a farm called Sticky Holler Farm in Arkansas. She's on
Instagram as @stickyhollerfarm.
