About this listen

Co-parenting is hard, being a mum is hard, and being a stepmother is one of the most challenging and rewarding roles a woman can take on—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Welcome to Raising His Kids, the podcast dedicated to all mothers in blended families, hosted by Toni, a stepmum and bio mum.

As someone who experiences blended family life from both sides—as a biological mum and a stepmum—Toni offers a unique perspective on the complexities of this roller coaster. A domestic violence survivor who’s faced the chaos firsthand, she shares raw, honest, and relatable insights into the challenges of navigating relationships with high-conflict exes, blending families, and finding balance in the midst of it all.

Each week, you’ll find practical advice, real-life stories, and a supportive community that understands the highs and lows of Raising His Kids—whether that be as the bio mum or the stepmum. Toni isn’t afraid to talk about the hard stuff—because she’s lived it—and she’s passionate about empowering biological mothers and stepmothers alike to thrive and find security in their roles within the children’s lives.

Whether you’re new to this life or a seasoned co-parenting mum or stepmum, grab your coffee or wine and join Toni for candid conversations about what it means to embrace blended family chaos with grace and humour.

  • The Survivor Center with Vickie Lynn
    May 19 2025

    What does healing look like when you're still stuck co-parenting with your abuser? In this raw and honest conversation, Toni sits down with Vickie Lynn — survivor, coach, and fierce advocate for mums navigating high-conflict co-parenting with narcissistic exes.

    Together, they explore the emotional roller coaster of trying to raise emotionally healthy children while protecting them from manipulation, smear campaigns, and trauma — all while being accused of being the “high-conflict” parent. Toni shares parts of her own story too, including the complex dynamics of raising a child who looks like your abuser, parenting as a survivor, and navigating a stepfamily full of tension and judgement.

    If you're a mum trying to break generational cycles, protect your kids, and still hold space for yourself — this episode is a must-listen.

    And for stepmums caught in the crossfire or unsure where they fit, this chat brings clarity, validation, and a fresh perspective on building bridges and setting boundaries.
