Listen Later

In this episode we welcome guest, Megan McLaren. Megan resides in Alberta and is a mom to twins, stepmom, social worker, and certified life coach. We tlk through Megan's experience as a stepmom and how she overcame grief and grieving the life she never got to have. She missed out on being the first wife, the first birthing experience, and many other things with her now-husband, but Megan didn't let that stop her from finding joy and happiness through her struggles. We talk through that, and:

 

  • Changing dynamics when you have an "ours" baby
  • Feeling shame for having negative feelings as a stepmom
  • Not ever having alone time after marriage
  • Being the "non-favored" household
  • Schedule accommodations that we never agreed to
