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.

Stepmum Space
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.
