The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast

This week's episode is for every stepmom who has ever felt something and immediately felt guilty for feeling it. Jen from The Sober Stepmom joins me this week and we go there. Jealousy, grief, nervous system overload, the control trap. All of it. This is the conversation I wished I'd had years ago.

Here's what we cover, but honestly, just go listen. This one got personal fast.

In this week's episode, Jen and I discuss:
How becoming a stepmom inspired Jen's journey with sobriety
The emotions that catch stepmoms completely off guard and why feeling them doesn't make you a bad person
Jealousy in the stepmom role, what it actually is and why so many stepmoms carry shame around it
The nervous system science behind why stepmoms feel so on edge, especially around transition days
Grief that stepmoms never name and how it shows up sideways when you least expect it
The unique experience of the childless stepmom, including Jen's raw and honest take on navigating infertility while stepparenting
Why trying to control everything in your blended family is quietly costing you more than you realize
How to create space between the feeling and your reaction and why that gap is where your power lives
Practical nervous system regulation tools you can actually use in real stepmom moments
I think this one is going to stay with you.
