One of the biggest challenges stepmoms face is figuring out where they actually fit in. Are you a parent? A friend? A bonus mom? Or just… in the background? In this episode, we unpack the confusing, ever-shifting role of a stepmom in a blended family. From navigating parental boundaries to defining your emotional responsibilities, we explore how to find your place in a way that feels authentic, healthy, and sustainable—for you.

Whether you're brand new to stepmom life or still trying to define your role years in, this conversation will help you feel more grounded and confident.
