#116: What If I Don’t Like My Stepkids? The Truth No One Talks About


Listen Later

What if you don’t like your stepkids? It’s the question that stepmoms whisper to themselves and rarely admit out loud. In this episode, Alicia unpacks why these feelings show up, why they don’t make you a “bad stepmom,” and how to move through them without shame.

You’ll learn:

  • Why it’s normal to not always like your stepkids
  • How societal expectations set stepmoms up for guilt
  • Simple shifts to ease the tension when relationships feel strained
  • How to release the pressure to force a bond

This is your permission slip: you don’t have to like your stepkids 24/7 to be a good stepmom.
