“Newly married + new stepmom=max stress. I felt like I was walking in the dark and I felt like an idiot because I had no idea what I was doing. I’m blessed with a positive co-parenting situation; however, my own comparisons, grief over giving up the “baby firsts” I soon realized I wouldn’t get to share with my husband because he already went through them, and my own perfectionist expectations began to cause turmoil in my marriage due to my negativity. I needed comfort and insight desperately to shake me out of the insanity of feeling crazy and tearing myself down all the time. So thank you from the bottom of my heart this podcast is such a drink of water in the desert of stepmotherhood. My confidence is coming back as I hear refreshing perspective with each episode! I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t found this!”
