Stepmum Space
Fairytales & scary tales about the ups and downs of life as a stepmum with Katie South and guests.
When Katie fell in love with a Dad of two, almost a decade ago, she had no idea what lay ahead of her! It's been a rollercoaster of incredible highs, and painful lows. Faced with very little support and huge societal stigma, Katie found the first few years of her Stepmum journey incredibly isolating and difficult. She's now on a mission to break down the stigma surrounding Stepmotherhood and normalise some of the more tricky emotions that almost all Stepmums will feel at one time or another. Katie is passionate about giving Stepmums a voice, and in this series you can expect honest and brave conversations about life in a Stepfamily.

In this episode Katie talks to Tim... (Yes, she let a man on the show!)
Tim shares his experience of having a stepmum, and that of his daughter having a Stepmum.
Tim is frank, funny and extremely honest about the rollercoaster of emotions he went through and how he found it difficult to balance his role as a Dad, and that of a partner in a stepfamily situation.
He talks about how he had to face some uncomfortable truths about what his parenting was costing his family, and about the ongoing journey he and his now wife are on in building their family.
Tim also shares how his situation as a widower has thrown up some scenarios which are unique to that situation and offers advice to women struggling to get their husbands on the same page as them!
