Samantha was 24 when she became a stay-at-home step-parent to a set of twins. Entering into a divorce situation with kids isn't always easy, there are obvious pros and cons with boundary setting, managing expectations, and knowing when it's your place and when it's not. Samantha is candid and honest about her experience and talks through the challenges and the good things too! Today, Samantha and her husband share a child together, West, who is 5 years old. Samantha hosts Samantha's West, a podcast about motherhood, philanthropy, and all the fun stories in between.
