#101: Finding Me Time Amidst Blended Family Chaos


Listen Later

In this episode of The Stepmom Side Podcast, Alicia Krasko gets real about the silent struggle so many stepmoms face: losing themselves in the chaos of blended family life. One day you’re living your carefree (ish) life, and the next, you're the emotional project manager of a household that runs on other people's schedules and drama. Sound familiar?

Alicia breaks down how the gradual burnout happens—and why so many stepmoms feel like they’ve completely lost touch with what they enjoy. From feeling like you have to do it all, to fearing what “the mom” might think if you step back, to snapping at your partner because you’re just. so. tapped. out.—this episode is your permission slip to start taking up space again.

She shares the exact script to use when telling your partner why you’re blocking off non-negotiable me time, and gives practical tips to help you reconnect with yourself (no, you don’t need a weekend away or a 3-hour spa day… unless you want that, too).

Because the truth is? Your stepfamily doesn’t need a martyr.
They need you—the recharged, connected, joy-filled version of you.
