#70: Holiday Survival Guide for Stepmoms: Self-Care Strategies That Actually Work


Listen Later

As a stepmom, the holiday season can feel like you’re juggling everyone else’s needs—and there’s never enough time for you. In this episode, Alicia breaks down why self-care isn’t just a nice-to-have but a must-do during the holidays. From sneaking in “me-time” pockets to setting boundaries with your schedule (yes, it’s okay to say “I’m busy!”), she shares simple, powerful strategies for protecting your peace.

You’ll learn why stepping back from the comparison trap can be the best gift you give yourself, plus practical ways to create a holiday season that feels good for you, not just everyone else. Remember, taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential to being the best stepmom, partner, and person you can be.

Tune in to hear about:

  • Quick, effective self-care tips for busy stepmoms
  • Setting boundaries on your time so you don’t burn out
  • Why it’s okay to prioritize yourself during the holiday hustle
  • Avoiding the holiday comparison trap and focusing on what matters
  • Why a little self-care goes a long way in supporting your family

Take this as your permission slip to put yourself first (or at least higher up on the list) this holiday season!
