Chapter 1: What challenges does Kourtney face as a stepmom?
But remember you as a teenager. You loved having a plus one.
But I remember we would also do things like when we would go to Vail for Thanksgiving and go skiing, we weren't allowed to bring friends.
No.
And when we would go to.
But I don't think we could afford to bring friends.
Probably. And also people would do things with their own families for Thanksgiving. Or when we went to Hawaii, we weren't allowed to bring friends. It's a nice idea, but I've grown a lot in the way of just being able to be like... It doesn't matter. Whoever comes to dinner, it's going to be, it's like I let go of a lot of the need to almost plan or maybe it's even have control.
I don't know what it is, but I've let go of that a lot to just be like the table set, whoever comes, you know, comes. And for trips too, I'll be like, everyone's invited. Yeah.
No, how you can handle a trip is insane to me. You handle it like me? No. You're going to pick out who's in what room and what's going to... And you are so carefree about it. And I love that. I wish I could be more like that.
But I've grown to be that way through the experience because if I held on to it or let things like that bother me, which I used to, I'd used to be like when it was family dinner, well, why can't you tell me who's coming? I don't get it. Why, you know, why can't I would ask Travis, can you tell me who's coming of the kids and I'll see who's coming with the younger kids or whatever.

Chapter 2: How does Kourtney manage a household of seven kids?
Yeah.
So I think having that history definitely helped. And I used to think too, going into it, oh, there's, there's we have such a good foundation that it would just be seamless. But some days I've thought, wow, this is really hard blending families.
I think regardless of how much history you have, when you are friends with someone, and then as soon as you get in a relationship with someone, regardless of how great you are, I think kids feel like they also have to
still know like where's my role like let me test boundaries and I think that's very normal but for you you're probably like wait I thought we were good and you are well and I think about yeah also I think it was hard for all but we moved out of our house that we had lived in you know for the kids whole lives and then Moved in there and then sharing space, which we did slowly.
We stayed, I think, a year and a half separately but married but living a block away from each other. So I think that was really a helpful transition.
I think if you're married or if you're getting married and if you did it before your marriage or after, doing that slow transition of that I thought was really smart. You guys did it once you were married. But when you have kids, I think that's a really smart way to do it.
But even once you're then living together, there's things you don't even think about, like moving things in the pantry or, I don't know, just little things that you don't think about. And again, that's where I've had growth because I would think, okay, take a deep breath.
It's okay if the fridge is a mess because there's some days 25 people going in there and looking for something or grabbing something. Now I've gotten it to such a good place. But I remember just,
Well, think about you've always had younger kids. Mason is now 15. But you then took on a family with young adults. So you sort of missed you evolving into that. You know what I mean? You're just thrown into like in the young adult stage is a hard stage. So now they're young adults who I'm sure want to socialize, have friends over. And that's what you're probably like, wait, what?

Chapter 3: What is the family dynamic in a blended family?
So my anniversary is coming up and it'll be three years. That's crazy. So it said it really truly takes four years to feel like you're all on the same boat and you're truly a family and like doing this together. You're almost there. Right. One year left.
You're almost there.
But I remember... At the times when it didn't feel that way or it feels like it's like your squad versus my squad or, you know, we do things this way and you do things this way or whatever it could be.
Well, think about how hard it is. I don't know if you remember before kids just living with another person, just two adults living. integrating their lives together, blending, learning how to share a bed. Like it could be the share the TV. Like I dread the newness of that. I'm like, I don't want you touching my fucking remote. This is my bedtime. Think about that. Now you're blending.
tiny people with big emotions. That's crazy.
I think doing it each our own way for so long and then coming together and being like, okay, now what's our way? How do we do it? Because I'll be like, but this is how I do it.
But also, how do you do it as a couple?
Right. What's our new way now? What's the way? So I think it's like finding your way and then... Do you have tips for people that are blending families? I'll always think of it like this. what is my, what am I supposed to learn from this and grow from this? Say it's one specific thing. I'll be like, okay, how do I learn and grow from this moment?
Or, you know, we're two people with two brains that have different opinions sometimes. So how do you Each express your side and be heard. How is it good enough, you know, for everybody kind of thing. If I laugh about something and don't take it so seriously, it's kind of like a choice.

Chapter 4: How does Kourtney balance chaos with family time?
I do like that you said, you know your role is not to be the disciplinary with the older kids. And knowing that, I think something that Bruce did so well with us, or I could speak for myself, is Bruce never tried to be dad. Right. And I always appreciated and respected that.
Okay, so that wasn't my experience.
Okay.
But maybe that's why it became your experience.
Thank you.
So grateful for that for you. Really? Yeah. Tried to be dad for you? Well, not dad, but tried to be controlling and bossy and would tell me certain friends can't come over and would like...
But also maybe that experience molded you into being the step parent that you are today, whether it be things you don't didn't like from Bruce or things you did like.
Or I think about too with Denise.
Denise was our dad's fiance for five years. We love her. We still love her.

Chapter 5: What parenting style does Kourtney prefer?
Not even know and have totally different experiences. Well, I'm sorry you went through that.
Thank you. It was fine. That's why I moved into dad's.
I had no clue. So here's the deal. You guys know I love snacking and I love popcorn, but I'm also always looking for ways to eat more protein during the day. That's why I created Cloud Popcorn. It has three times the protein of your standard popcorn and it tastes delicious. I created Cloud because I wanted a popcorn that pulls its weight with no trade-offs.
Cloud is crafted from whole grain popcorn sourced from Nebraska and is non-GMO, gluten-free, kosher, and free from both seed oils and added flavors. You can try Cloud now at cloudfoods.com. You are going to love it.
I used to try to be the kind of person who goes to nurseries on the weekend, that person sipping iced coffee, casually pushing around a cart full of soil and dreams. But in reality, I'd forget, or I'd get overwhelmed, and I don't even have a car. Uber drivers are not okay with you putting ferns in the backseat. I learned that the hard way.
By the end of it, I would just end up ordering a sad artificial fern out of desperation and frustration. That was before I found fast-growing trees. And let me tell you, I've been living my backyard fantasy ever since. I ordered a couple of privacy trees because my neighbor's hot tub is a little too close for comfort.
Not only did they show up fast, but they looked better than half the stuff I had ever bought in store. And get this, I did not have to lift a finger beyond opening the box. No dragging a tree into the back of my hatchback. or lack thereof. Just beautifully packed, healthy plants delivered right to my door. Plus, they've got actual plant experts on call.
So when I panicked and thought I overwatered, I didn't have to Google, can you drown a tree? I just asked someone who knew what they were doing. And this is the kicker. It cost me a fraction of what a landscaper quoted me, like 90% less. This spring, they have the best deals for your yard, up to half off on select plants and other deals.

Chapter 6: How do Kourtney and Khloé differ in their parenting approaches?
I think it's really not separating for as much as possible in the first definitely three years. It really helps, I think, nurture their attachment, secure attachment. And it's actually, it's just even without knowing that, I remember I read the attachment parenting book before Penelope. But it's kind of just what my instincts say. Like I lean towards and it's like what they tell me to do.
I feel like just my motherly instincts.
I love that. Mother knows best. No. Oh my gosh. And Draza sings me that song all the time. Okay. I want to look at questions now.
I thought one of them that was interesting was like, how do we do things differently?
Yes. As a family?
As like mother. Okay. As the mother role. And I feel like I was thinking about it because first I'm like, I don't know what Chloe does. I have no idea.
And then I started thinking- Wait, let me ask you.
Oh, I was just going to say that you- are very scheduled.
Uh-huh, I am.

Chapter 7: What lessons did Kourtney learn from her parenting experiences?
Yeah, he's like 23 pounds.
So you're holding a 23-pound baby for two hours? Three hours sometimes. Three hours? Yeah.
Once he took a nap for like five hours and-
Holy shit.
In a sling or just free balling this? No, like I'll sit in our little chair. Okay. Usually in the room. And then... That's great. I still have my little breastfeeding pillow.
Okay.
And then he'll kind of lay on there, but my arms under. And then I have a little radiation blanket that I put over to like protect from EMFs for phone use or...
Don't you have that thing that you made me buy?
And I have that little sticker on my phone too.

Chapter 8: How does Kourtney view her role in her children's lives?
Like a lactation consultant.
And they came for over a week, tried. I did the tea and the cookies and these sweet potato things.
I think you were stressed out too.
I was just a tad.
I read something recently that said if you do things the opposite of how you were raised in certain things, like in certain areas- That you're healing yourself. You're healing that wound of things that you didn't get that you needed.
Do you think you remember breastfeeding?
Oh, I did. I wasn't breastfed. I'm saying as a child.
Yes. Like, well, yeah.
Are you like, are my kids going to remember that?
