"You're not the problem. You're just doing it alone."
If you attended the Stepmom Summit last weekend, you wrapped up in a high - feeling seen and understood. But it's over now, and you're back in a house that doesn't feel like yours with zero space to land. Today we're talking about why "trying harder" isn't the answer, and what you actually need to create lasting change in your stepfamily life.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- Why Stepmom Life Feels So Isolating
- The myth of "trying harder" and the stepmom spiral of second-guessing your boundaries and interactions
- How "trying harder" leads to losing yourself in the effort
- That you're not actually failing - the system is failing you
- You don't need to try more - you need to be seen
- You weren't meant to navigate stepfamily life alone
