Being a stepmother aka BONUS-MOM, is often called the toughest form of mothering—and for good reason. When the other parent hasn’t moved on, unresolved anger seeps into your home, and children are manipulated in the process, the weight can feel unbearable. But even in this tension, God’s design offers hope, order, and strength.

In this episode of The Venusian Oasis Podcast, Portia Williams speaks raw truth about the realities of stepmotherhood. She exposes the ways you are deeply hurt by the battles of manipulation by the other parent and unresolved pain, and why it is your spouse’s divine role to cover and protect you first. Portia also challenges women to support their spouses in fatherhood without losing themselves in dysfunction—because not all step-parenting is done with the right heart.

Expect to hear piercing insight on:
✨ How children are impacted when they’re caught in the middle of adult conflict
✨ Why your spouse must prioritize protecting your heart as his covenant responsibility
✨ How to “hold the line in kindness” without tolerating abuse
✨ Why doing what’s right anyway is the higher call—even when it goes unseen

Portia reminds listeners that stepmothers deserve encouragement, grace, and elevation. This episode is an invitation to rise above bitterness, protect your peace, and step into your feminine nature with strength.
