Christina welcomes Ryan to discuss two topics that impact many stepmoms: step-parent alienation and trying to conceive. When the ex is committed to hating on the stepmom, what can you do? How do you respond when your stepkid says, "my mom doesn't like you?" Ryan also shares her story of trying for an ours baby. As a stepmom navigating fertility, Ryan gives her insights and words of validation and hope to others also waiting for their exciting news.

To all the stepmoms who resonate with this episode - I'm sending you love and light. I hope you find comfort in knowing you're never alone. 

About My Guest: 

I am 35 years old and have been married to my husband for 3 years (together for 4). My step-daughter is 7 years old, and I have been officially step-momming since my SD was 2.5. Since we got married, my husband and I have been trying to conceive an "ours" baby but have been met with several infertility struggles. I am an elementary school teacher, and I have a variety of obsessions including our family dog Ivy, Taylor Swift music, and Netflix.

So much more than a podcast!!!
