- You're not naive. You can see exactly what's happening. You've read the books, done the therapy, maybe even named your attachment style. And you're still there.
Dr. Sarah Hensley literally studied the science of romantic relationships for a living. She still spent 10 years in a marriage full of addiction, infidelity and abuse, and even went back to him after the divorce. Today she's a relationship scientist with a seven-figure coaching practice and three million followers.
In this episode, Sarah breaks down why being smart doesn't protect you, how your childhood sets up the partners you choose, and the science-backed tools she used to finally get out and stay out.

Keltie joins me to talk about her new book, The F*ck Them Theory, and what changed when she stopped trying to be everything to everyone.
We talk about:
Getting everything you thought you wanted and still feeling unhappy
Being done with people pleasing and always being the bigger person
Turning rejection into motivation
Wanting more money and refusing to apologize for it
Being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and the grief of realizing how long you struggled
Going after what you want before you feel confident enough
If you've ever swallowed what you wanted to say, worried about being "too much," or waited to feel ready, this one's for you.

But with the rebrand, I had to bring her back to talk about something she's been speaking about all around the world: pivoting and finding your voice.
Krista is the co-host of the Almost 30 podcast, a bestselling author, a speaker, a retreat host, and a really great human.
I could literally talk to her for hours.
In this episode, we talk about Krista's glow-up and what she had to let go of to fully make the change she wanted to make. How toxic relationships and friendships can hold us back. Her divorce, shedding a past layer of herself, and what it means to live consciously and invite the universe into your life as a co-creator.
We get into what it really means to live in alignment, how you don't need to blow up your life to change it, and what happened to me when I went to Krista's retreat in Chicago this year.

06/10/2026 | 1h 7 mins.This week, I'm chatting with wardrobe stylist Chellie Carlson, and we get into a lot more than what jeans to buy.
We talk about the psychology behind getting dressed, the piece of self-care so many women are missing, and the connection Chellie makes between your wardrobe, your confidence, and your earning potential.
Because whether we like it or not, how we represent ourselves to the world affects how we're treated.
In this episode, we talk about:
How what you put on in the morning can affect how you feel, how you show up, and what you're willing to put yourself out there for.
Why Chellie thinks most women need to buy bigger jeans.
What needs to go from your closet before you buy anything else.
Her thoughts on skinny jeans coming back
What a boy said to me on the basketball court in grade seven that has haunted me ever since.
Whether I really need to get out of my Lululemons when I'm working from home, and how to feel put together while still being comfortable.
There's practical style advice in here, but also a lot that might make you think differently about getting dressed tomorrow morning.

About Permission with Jamie Scrimgeour
You can love your life and still want more from it. And you don't need everyone to understand why.
Permission with Jamie Scrimgeour is a weekly podcast about marriage, family, boundaries, money, ambition, and the things women feel but don't say out loud.
Saying no without writing a paragraph to explain it. Wanting more from your marriage. Dealing with the mother-in-law, the ex, or the person you can't cut out. Going after something big without making it sound smaller so everyone else feels comfortable.
Jamie is a former child protection social worker, a business owner, and the host of a top-charting podcast with nearly 2 million downloads. Through conversations with guests like Gabby Bernstein, Nedra Glover Tawwab, Terri Cole and Keltie Knight, plus honest solo episodes and a few with her husband Darren, she gets into what happens when women start making decisions based on the lives they actually want.
Permission to stop being the bigger person. To change your mind. To buy the jeans. To book the trip. To have a boundary someone doesn't like. To want what you actually want.
New episodes every Monday.
Formerly The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast. Stepfamily life is still part of the conversation. Because you're a whole woman with a life beyond that role
