🎧 Stepmum Space: The Podcast for Stepmum Support & Stepfamily Help
Honest conversations for stepmums who most definitely did NOT know what they were getting into!
Hosted by Katie South, Stepmum Space is the stepfamily podcast that offers real, candid and compassionate support for anyone navigating life as a stepmum.
Whether you're searching for stepmum help, stepmum support, or simply a place where your experience is understood—this podcast is here to hold space for you.
When Katie fell in love with a dad of two nearly a decade ago, she had no idea what lay ahead. The journey has been full of incredible highs and painful lows—and like many stepmums, she faced it with very little support and a whole lot of stigma. Now, she’s on a mission to break the silence around stepmotherhood and normalize the complex emotions that come with it.
Each episode features raw, brave conversations with guests who share their lived experiences in blended families. Expect validation, practical insights, and a community that gets it.

S4, Ep 1. Being more of a parent than Bio Mum or Dad!
In this episode Katie talks to Sam*.
Sam is Stepmum to an 8 year old girl and despite Sam's stepdaughter having a bio Mum and Dad, Sam picks up most of the childcare and most of the "mumming" work.
Sam chats about how her and her partner's differing views on childcare caused conflict between them and how as time went on she realised he hadn't been totally transparent about the story he'd told about his parenting style!
Sam shares the struggles of becoming a Stepmum and the conflict of having to "treat the child as your own" but not having a say in the way the child is really brought up. She talks openly about her relationship with her partner and shares why she isn't rushing down the aisle despite a 3 year engagement.
Huge thanks to Sam for sharing her story!
