This episode is a raw, unfiltered Ask Me Anything from the stepmom trenches (on Instagram). Alicia gets real about some of the most vulnerable (and let’s be honest, slightly rage-inducing) questions stepmoms are dealing with—like:
• “Why do I feel like I won’t be good enough until we have a kid together?”
• “Will I ever feel relaxed around the ex?”
• “How the hell do I let go of the hate and bitterness?”
• “Am I the only one who dreads vacations with the stepkids?”
• “How much are we spending on legal fees for this chaos!?”
If you’ve ever googled “how to get divorced from your stepmom role,” this episode is your permission slip to breathe, laugh, and get some damn clarity.
What You'll Hear:
- The emotional pressure stepmoms feel to have an “ours baby” to feel equal
- The real reason being around her (the mom) makes your skin crawl
- Why venting to your partner about the ex might be making things worse
- The truth about high-conflict coparents and why peace might not be the goal
- How to survive vacation chaos without lighting everything on fire
- The shocking (and sickening) cost of legal fees for blended families
If you've ever asked yourself, “Is it just me?”—it’s not. And Alicia’s got stories and truth bombs to prove it.
