This week's episode is for every stepmom who has ever felt something and immediately felt guilty for feeling it. Jen from The Sober Stepmom joins me this week and we go there. Jealousy, grief, nervous system overload, the control trap. All of it. This is the conversation I wished I'd had years ago. Here's what we cover, but honestly, just go listen. This one got personal fast. In this week's episode, Jen and I discuss: How becoming a stepmom inspired Jen's journey with sobriety The emotions that catch stepmoms completely off guard and why feeling them doesn't make you a bad person Jealousy in the stepmom role, what it actually is and why so many stepmoms carry shame around it The nervous system science behind why stepmoms feel so on edge, especially around transition days Grief that stepmoms never name and how it shows up sideways when you least expect it The unique experience of the childless stepmom, including Jen's raw and honest take on navigating infertility while stepparenting Why trying to control everything in your blended family is quietly costing you more than you realize How to create space between the feeling and your reaction and why that gap is where your power lives Practical nervous system regulation tools you can actually use in real stepmom moments I think this one is going to stay with you.

This week on The KICK-ASS Stepmom Podcast, I'm keeping it casual with a real life solo Q+A that goes beyond stepmom stuff but still speaks directly to stepmoms. I asked you on Instagram for non-stepmom questions, and you delivered. We're talking about marriage, parenting a tween, simplifying your style, confidence, fear, self-esteem, and the one thing I'm truly at peace with going into 2026. This episode is for stepmoms who are doing the inner work, building confidence, and learning how to feel safe and grounded in their lives. No fixing. No advice giving. Just honest reflection on growth, relationships, and trusting yourself as you evolve. If you're a stepmom craving a slower, more real conversation that reminds you who you are outside the role, this one's for you.
