In this episode of The Stepmom Side Podcast, Alicia gets real about one of the biggest misconceptions stepmoms have — that peace comes when everything is finally perfect....and then hear something going wrong in real time. :)

If you’ve ever thought, “Once the ex chills out… once the kids listen… once my partner gets it — THEN I’ll finally have peace,” this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.

Alicia shares why chasing perfection only leads to burnout and resentment — and how true peace comes from within, not from a flawless blended family. She breaks down what peace actually looks like in stepmom life (even when chaos is still happening), plus three practical ways to choose calm over control.

You’ll walk away with a lighter heart and a powerful reminder:
Peace isn’t a reward for getting it all right. It’s what you deserve, even when everything’s still a little wrong.

Listen in to learn:

• Why perfection keeps you stuck in frustration and comparison
• What peace really looks like in everyday stepmom moments
• Three simple mindset shifts to choose peace, even in chaos
• How to stop waiting for everyone else to change before you feel calm

🎧 Tune in now and start finding your peace — no perfection required.
