Summer break in a stepfamily isn’t always sunshine and s’mores—it can be a whirlwind of transitions, mood swings, and scheduling chaos. In this episode, Alicia gets real about the emotional toll of summer break as a stepmom, especially when the stepkids are constantly going back and forth between homes.

She breaks down the most common summer struggles (spoiler: you’re not alone if the custody schedule makes you cry), and shares tools to help you find rhythm, protect your time, and reset after each transition.

Whether you're feeling burnt out by the back-and-forth or just want permission to prioritize yourself, this episode offers validation, support, and practical tips to make this season feel less like survival mode.
