In this episode of The Stepmom Side Podcast, Alicia Krasko opens up about her why—the real reason she started coaching stepmoms, built The Stepmom Side Community, and launched this very podcast.
She shares her raw, unfiltered story of hitting rock bottom as a stepmom, googling “how to get divorced,” and feeling like an outsider in her own home. Alicia explains the turning point when she admitted she needed help, how outside support transformed her stepmom journey, and why she decided to step into the role of coach.
You’ll hear why The Stepmom Side Community was created as an affordable, supportive space for stepmoms, how imposter syndrome showed up for Alicia as both a stepmom and a community founder, and the moments inside the community that remind her she’s exactly where she’s meant to be.
Alicia also shares the behind-the-scenes story of starting The Stepmom Side Podcast—from her stepson gifting her a microphone to now reaching stepmoms in 96 countries with nearly 50,000 downloads.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re struggling alone on “stepmom island,” this episode will remind you:
👉 You’re not crazy.
👉 You’re not the only one.
👉 And you don’t have to do this role by yourself.
