S5, Ep7. "My mental health was at an all time low, had I made a BIG mistake?"

In this episode Katie talks to Ellie, a Stepmum to two boys who had made the decision not to have biological children herself.

Ellie talks about her love for the boys and her ups and downs as a Stepmum. She shares how difficulties with BioMum took her to some really dark places and made her question whether she could continue in her marriage. 

At her lowest point Ellie decided to seek counselling and coaching and she talks about how both of these have impacted her life, and how ultimately changing her mindset and the way her and her husband responded to situations, saved her family.
