In today’s episode of The Stepmom Side Podcast, Alicia answers questions from her broadcast channel and "Ask Me Anything" from Instagram. She dives deep into some of the toughest struggles stepmoms face—like dealing with disrespectful stepkids, managing the emotions of bio kids, handling the drama from bio moms, and navigating tricky boundaries with your partner. It’s a tough ride, but guess what? You’re not alone.

Alicia will be sharing actionable tips to help you work through these frustrations, keep your sanity intact, and build stronger, more connected relationships with your stepkids and partner. From setting realistic house expectations to learning how to handle boundary-pushing situations with love and patience, this episode is packed with advice that will help you feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Whether it’s trying to make your stepkids feel comfortable at your house while they miss their mom, dealing with manipulative bio moms, or feeling the resentment creep in, she's got your back. We’re talking about the importance of connection over correction, setting boundaries that actually work, and how to stop feeling like a doormat in the “best interest of the kids.”

If you’re ready to let go of the frustration, let go of resentment, and finally get the support you need, I’ve got some resources for you to dive into—plus a free guide on setting house expectations that changed the game for my family.

So take a deep breath, tune in, and let’s get real about this stepmom life. You’ve got this.
