Ep. 40 - Suzanne Sherman: What Does It Mean To Live In The Long Shadow
Sep 24, 202651 min
Robin Breuner welcomes author and memoir coach Suzanne Sherman to discuss her book, Living in the Long Shadow: Surviving a Legacy of Mental Illness (publishing Sept. 29). Suzanne recounts her earliest memories of her mother’s sudden-onset schizophrenia, her father’s lack of explanation, and the family’s upheaval, including her mother’s overdose attempt when Suzanne was 10 and later diagnosis and treatment with Thorazine. She describes her parents’ separation, her father dating a woman who became her stepmother, and how Suzanne, at 14, moved in with her father and new wife, initially facing rejection behind closed doors before the relationship improved over time. Suzanne also reflects on her mother’s eventual suicide, a letter explaining she couldn’t live with or without medication, and a later “sign” that brought comfort. She closes with advice that love and feeling valued matter most in stepfamily relationships.

Ep. 38 – Diana Daniele: We Three Who Made a Fourth
Sep 10, 202647 min
On this week’s episode of the Step Stories Podcast, Host Robin Breuner welcomes PR specialist, writer, and advocate Diana Daniele to talk about her blended family and health journey. Diana describes secondary infertility, choosing adoption, and how social workers coached her on respectful adoption language and on not owing strangers personal details; she recounts being asked “Where’s the real mom?” and later apologizing to her daughter for sharing her adoption status. She explains raising a biological son and adopted daughter seven years apart, fearing sibling rivalry (“I’m the real child”) that never materialized, and discusses open adoption, ongoing contact with her daughter’s birth mother via an agency, and reunion at 18 framed as “more love.” Diana also shares five years of chronic migraines, depression and a suicide attempt, and being cured in 2014 by hirudotherapy (leeches), which helped her reconnect with her children; she concludes that love is the answer for parenting.   Diana Daniele: Email :            dianadaniele@me.com   Website :        https://dianadanielepr.com/   Substack:      @musingtimewithdianadaniele IG :                  ig/dianadanielepr FB :                 fb/diana.f.daniele Linkedin :       in/diana-foutz-daniele Youtube :        @Diana-Daniele   Robin Breuner  Email:   robinbreuner@gmail.com Website:   www.robinbreuner.com Instagram: stepstories podcastIG Facebook: stepstoriespodcastFB Linkedin:   RobinBreunerLinkIN Podcast:   StepStories Podcast Threads:   @robinbreuner YouTube : StepStories Podcast YouTube Hosted on Acast.

BEST OF: Cameron Normand - How to Survive being the “Stuck Outsider” with StepFamily Solutions Coach, Cameron Normand
Sep 3, 202643 min
In this week’s Best Of episode of The Step Stories podcast, Robin sits down with Cameron Normand, CEO of Stepfamily Solutions and host of the Stepmom Diaries podcast. Cameron shares how she shifted from a 23-year career as a lawyer and policy executive on Capitol Hill and for Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures into stepfamily coaching after becoming a stepmom of four in a high-conflict situation and struggling to find resources. They discuss why stepfamilies are underserved, how untrained guidance can harm families, and Cameron’s Step Family Coach Academy built around research and Dr. Patricia Papernow’s framework. Cameron highlights common challenges like the “stuck outsider” role, Mother’s Day and event dynamics, the importance of encouraging parent–child one-on-one time, and key advice for stepparents: focus on connection over correction and be less hard on yourself.   2026 Stepmoms Summit Affiliate Link Cameron Normand Email:   cameron@stepfamilysolutions.com Website:  https://stepfamilysolutions.com/contributors/cameron-normand/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stepfamilysolutions Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stepfamilysolutions LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/stepfamily-solutions/ Podcast:  Stepmom Diaries  TikTok:    https://www.tiktok.com/@stepfamilysolutions Pintrest :  https://ro.pinterest.com/stepfamilysolutions/   Robin Breuner  Email:   robinbreuner@gmail.com Website:   www.robinbreuner.com Instagram:  stepstories podcastIG Facebook:  stepstoriespodcastFB Linkedin:   RobinBreunerLinkIN Podcast:   StepStories Podcast Threads:   @robinbreuner YouTube : StepStories Podcast YouTube Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 37 - Laughter Through Tears with Michael Vinton
Aug 27, 202644 min
Host Robin Breuner welcomes Michael Vinton—comedian, actor, nonprofit director, and host of Unspoken Grief—to this week’s episode of the Step Stories Podcast to talk about building a blended family through adoption and fostering. Michael shares how he and his husband Tony pursued private open adoption in 2015–2016, including meeting their first daughter Zanna’s birth parents, and explains challenges for same-sex adoptive parents across different state laws. He contrasts fostering—where reunification is the goal—with adoption, describing multiple heartbreaking foster placements that returned home. Michael recounts how their second daughter, Sabrina, came to them via safe surrender after a NICU stay, adding a biracial dynamic to their family. He also discusses losing his brother in a murder-suicide, founding Impacted Survivors of Murder Suicide, and using Unspoken Grief to provide education, resources, and support groups, ending with advice on patience, openness, and acceptance in blended families.   Michael Vinton: Email :            info@impactedsurvivors.com   Website :        www.michaelvinton.com                          http://www.impactedsurvivors.org Podcast:        Unspoken Grief  IG :                  @therealmichaelvinton FB :                 Michael Vinton Linkedin :       m/ichael-vinton-6702a373   Robin Breuner  Email:   robinbreuner@gmail.com Website:   www.robinbreuner.com Instagram: stepstories podcastIG Facebook: stepstoriespodcastFB Linkedin:   RobinBreunerLinkIN Podcast:   StepStories Podcast Threads:   @robinbreuner YouTube : StepStories Podcast YouTube Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 36 – How My Eyes Have Opened
Aug 20, 202629 min
On this week’s episode of the Step Stories Podcast, Host Robin Breuner shares a curated set of powerful clips from a few memorable guests from the show’s first 3 seasons. Christina Nelson (Radical Stepmoms) describes the conditional, often excluded experience of stepmothers—especially around Mother’s Day and family milestones—and how misunderstandings between stepmoms and stepkids can escalate without honest communication. Author Hope Edelman advises widowed fathers to wait at least a year (ideally two) before serious dating or remarriage, to support children through “firsts,” while also noting the risks of never moving forward. Barbara Sabido discusses fostering, attachment, and how fathers may struggle most with saying goodbye. Robin closes with insights from her daughter Natalie about compounded grief, anxiety, and the long, messy journey of blended-family life.   Hope Edelman Email:    hopeedelman@gmail.com Website: www.hopeedelman.com          www.motherlessdaughters.com Instagram: @hope_edelman Facebook: hopeedelmanauthor   Christina Nelson Email:            radicalstepmomspodcast Website:        radicalstepmomspodcast.com Instagram:     IG/radicalstepmomspodcast   Barbara Sabido                               Website:        apParent Love Facebook:     @bsabido Linkedin :      Barbara Sabido   Robin Breuner  Email:   robinbreuner@gmail.com Website:   www.robinbreuner.com Instagram: stepstories podcastIG Facebook: stepstoriespodcastFB Linkedin:   RobinBreunerLinkIN Podcast:   StepStories Podcast Threads:   @robinbreuner YouTube : StepStories Podcast YouTube Hosted on Acast.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
