Episode Summary

If you’re a stepmum who’s struggling — feeling torn, exhausted or unsure of your place — this episode is for you.

Katie is joined by Kristin, a stepmum to four, mum to one, and a life coach who supports stepmums across the US. Together, they talk honestly about the emotional weight of stepfamily life: the moments that feel too much, the ones that feel invisible, and the ones that make you question everything.

This is a grounded, real, deeply validating conversation about what stepmum life actually feels like behind the scenes.

In This Episode We Explore

• What to do when your values clash with “the other house”
• How to know when to step in with your stepkids — and when to step back
• Why messy emotions (jealousy, resentment, anxiety) are completely normal
• Feeling invisible or sidelined in your own home
• The pressure to “be fine” when you’re anything but
• Why community and coaching can make stepmum life feel lighter
• What stepmums wish they’d known sooner
• The small mindset shifts that change everything

These topics reflect some of the most common things stepmums search online when they feel overwhelmed, lost or alone.
