Thank you for making me laugh about things that have been so tough at times! I’m grateful for you and this podcast!

Not only did I listen to all her podcasts but I got the books, made the appointments and healed my marriage. I still have a long way to go and I will definitely keep in touch with Naja!!!

I feel so lucky to have found this podcast! It led me to VIP Stepmom and now doing coaching with Naja. My husband and I have had to make some major decisions before court recently, and this content + coaching has 1000% been an invaluable resource! Definitely worth exploring!

So many gems and raw insights! Naja, thank you for taking on this work and for doing it your way. I’m seriously dating someone with kids and a problematic ex-wife and I have a son of my own and parallel parent, so if God sees fit, it’ll get real interesting real soon. He and I are committed to being #teamhealthy and know that the true test will not be us but how we manage our exes. I’m glad to have this as a resource and a reference. Xoxo

I think every blended family co parenting should listen to this podcast

This is what I NEED to hear!!!! Accountability. Boundaries. Awareness. I’m eating it up

For years I’ve looked for someone who I could relate to. There are so many stepmoms out there doing a great job, but no one who had the balls to straight up say, my stepkids’ mom has issues. I felt like I was going crazy and felt pretty alone in my experience until I found this podcast. My husband and I are hugely invested in the emotional development of my stepdaughters, and it is a part time job just navigating their mother’s subtle abuses in order to ensure they come up right. I love listening to someone I can relate to and highly recommend this podcast.

I wish I had discovered Miss Naja sooner in my stepmom journey!!! She is literally a life saver. I CHERISH my time where I can listen to her wisdom and guidance. The reassurance alone just knowing other women have felt and are feeling what I’m going through is amazing. Her advice and insights are so down to earth, funny and helpful. I owe so much of my peace of mind to Naja Hall and this incredible podcast.

Your podcast is off the chain and helpful in more ways than I can think of. Keep doing what you are doing. I wish you more success and I see more success in your future.

Thank you for this content! I’ve been searching for an African American step mother who is keeping it real and bringing things to light! Makes me feel like I’m not alone in my thoughts and emotions!

I’m a full time stepmom that’s been really struggling with this new role. This podcast has literally been a life line for me! Thank you so much. It’s wonderful to know I’m not the only one struggling with step parenting.

This amazingly smart, kind, thoughtful woman and her amazing podcast touch on so many different levels. As a new step mother this has helped me to understand better where my step kids are coming from. Thank you Naja Hall!

Love Naja! She’s so knowledgeable and helpful, but she also keeps it real!

Keep it coming, bonus mama! Our blend is a hot mess and high conflict (whatever that means, but to me it means going to court more than three times a year when you’ve been divorced over 7 years!) since that’s unusual. I’m divorced no kids and I don’t even think about him badly ever. Just the occasional I Hope he is ok and living the life he wants and needs. I know one side of the story. I’m grateful for this content. It’s really original since it’s all the shades of gray! It’s not polarizing or dramatic it is let’s get to the skills and nuts and bolts to be a better blended family! Thank you!!! Grateful and hope to have you coach me or us. We need it at this point in life and can’t wait to grow and become better at this for the kids. I love them a lot and it’s even harder now that I have strong feelings and I’m worried about how his teen daughter treats our almost two year old who cannot protect herself. I get very protective and it erodes the dynamic w his daughter who is already in a loyalty bind or using the situation to manipulate mom. Not sure. It just feels bad when she is in our home lately and I want peace and love and warmth. Kids and adults need this to grow well and to feel supported! I learned that from you and Jamie Scrimgeour, another fave! Y’all are no BS!

Oh my goodness!!! Can’t say how much this came when I needed it most. In 2015 I was a 49 year old soon to be empty-nester; a mom of four last child at home a senior in high school. Fast forward present day 51 year old married to the love of my life. Im a menopausal step mom of 4 year old twins, 6 year old that we have full custody of (no Bio Mom in the picture) and an 11 year old (we have joint custody - high conflict mom in the picture). On the verge of becoming unhinged, I have now found my tribe. Listening to this podcast while driving, immediately pulled over to join VIP Step Mom Blxx Room. Anyone in a similar situation,I implore you to do the same!!!

I love how you say “turn that into the gnat not a bee” also acknowledging that there are two sides to every story! While BM in my life is HC, my boyfriend was with her and had a child with her and I need to learn that she’s part of the package. Plus he helped contribute to her HC. Thank you. I’m going to make my boyfriend listen to this episode.

Most every podcast, blog, or article that you read or listen to on the HELL that comes with this crazy roller coaster ride that is this stepparent journey just barely touches on all the crazy that comes with it, NOT Ms. Naja! Love her! I literally stayed up until 2 am listening! She goes so hard to help this struggling community of women who face such stigma from the rest of the world! Thank you for telling the truth!

Naja is such a refreshing voice, providing support for an underserved and misunderstood community, blended families. She is smart, sassy and on point with her no nonsense advice. Wish I had a podcast of hers to listen to 7 days a week!

I love you! I missed your podcast! I need moreeeee girl

Naja’s knowledge and expertise are second to none. Her podcast is fun to listen to and has tips that you can incorporate into your life immediately. ❤️ her and this podcast!

For being the first person to reassure me that it’s okay for me to not be friends with my husband’s ex. There have been many ups and downs in the past 16 years, and a lot of guilt about not being able to have a peaceful coexistence. Sometimes it’s just not the nature of the dynamic and it’s not anyone’s fault. Like you said, some people haven’t processed childhood trauma and lack the tools (including myself) to navigate these tricky waters. You can’t control other people’s feelings or actions. I have to remind myself of this every day. Loving the podcast so far and everything you have to say! So authentic and heartfelt, so much wisdom and experience with an intelligent voice to convey it all. Thank you Naja!!

Absolutely love Naja and her realness about stepmother hood! I need straight talk and to know to just get over myself and do what’s best for my kids.

I’ve been enjoying the podcasts thus far! The practical practices shared and advice are helpful for every family. Connecting with Naja has been a blessing.

If you are any part of a blended family you need Naja in your life! She’s like the voice in my head helping me stay strong and positive. Naja is so real and so honest it’s refreshing. So grateful to have found her xx

Naja Hall has entered the podcast building with her TRUTH!!! 🙌🏼 It just so happens that it’s my truth too. Thank you Naja for your real talk about step parenting. I feel like so finally found someone who “gets” my story. I just ordered her book and I can’t wait to dive in. I’m blended and Latina lol but I’m so thankful for this community!

Naja has the best conversation surrounding this topic. When you finish listening, you'll walk away feeling empowered as you deal with the "crazy" that blended families come with. You MUST listen if you want to keep same while you ride the waves of blended "familyship"

Myself and my family are beyond grateful for the guidance Naja has given us. She allows God to use her and her experiences to help those going through a difficult journey. She inspires me to tell my story and heal in the process. In in awe of her strength through it all!

These podcasts are what I have been searching for! Straightforward, tangible advice to set you up to be the best version of your (step-mom) self. I have listened to these first two episodes multiple times already to remind myself when I am upset or getting anxious. Naja is a blessing to our blended family. Thank you thank you thank you for these podcasts!!!

Very insightful! Very helpful with blending families and get a clear understanding of family dynamics and roles!!!

Naja Hall is funny and enlightening! She helps to make emotions tangible by using hilarious analogies. Listening to Naja has given me tools to work through barriers in my step parenting journey. The information she shares is relatable and easy to follow. Thank you for the laughs and new perspectives!

All I have to say is Naja and this podcast is AMAZING! Loving it! Thanks so much Naja!

Honestly not sure how I have made it this far in my step parenting journey without the advice of Naja. She spoke directly to my heart and offered sound advice that I will always carry with me. If you are a stepmom, this podcast is a MUST!!!

I am a stepmom in a high conflict situation with someone who does NOT want to be helped. I love her advice on taking care of YOU and YOUR HUSBAND. It’s so easy to let someone else dictate your emotions and well being and Naja challenges all of that. I am so excited you are podcasting Naja, you go girl! Can’t wait to listen to every. Single. Episode!!!!

Naja is fun, there’s no other way to say it. She’s got the energy of a bottle rocket, the sweetness of sugar, and she’s skillfully filling the vacuum of a real need in today’s families.
