Episode Summary

In this episode, Katie talks to Claire — an independent woman who fell deeply in love with her partner… and his three children. While Claire adores the kids, navigating the dynamic with their mum and the emotional load of stepfamily life has been far harder than she expected.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, out of control, or unsure where your boundaries should be, this conversation will make you feel truly seen.

In this episode, Katie and Claire explore:

• loving the kids but finding dynamics with their mum difficult
• biting your tongue more than anyone realises
• losing yourself while trying to hold everything together
• feeling like your life is shaped by other people’s decisions
• the emotional toll of being endlessly flexible
• why boundaries aren’t optional for stepmums
• how to reconnect with yourself when everything feels chaotic

A raw, validating conversation every stepmum will relate to.

Key Topics

• feeling out of control
• high-conflict or tense co-parenting dynamics
• silent emotional load
• boundaries when you’re not the biological parent
• resentment, guilt, overwhelm and burnout
• staying grounded and connected to yourself
