Episode 22- Interview with Tammy J | Stepmom Goals Jan 30, 2022

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Tamara Johnson (aka Tammy J). After saying "I do" in 2013, Tammy began her journey in the world of step-parenting. Juggling the struggles of being a step mommy with the pressures of blended family life, Tammy was ready to step away from it all, including her marriage. However, with the help of personal therapy, marriage counseling, prayer, and newly founded confidence, Tammy found the strength to continue on in her truth.

While healing and rediscovering herself, Stepmom Goals, LLC was unleashed to help chase away the clouds of perfection as she encourages each stepmother to step gorgeously further into their God-given purpose. Currently, Tammy J is preparing for the release of her first children's book, Mama T and Me!
