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, Ep 8: Marrying a widower and having a family of SIX kids!
In this episode Katie talks to Parm, AKA @mrssinghspirational about her journey from being a married Mum of 3, to a divorced Mum of 3, to a Stepmum to 3 children who'd recently lost their Mother!
Parm talks about how their family all became close very quickly, but amongst all the happiness, her own biological daughter really struggled with the changes and eventually made the difficult decision to go and live with her Dad.
Whilst she fully supported her daughter in doing what she felt was right for her, Parm talks about how rejected she felt when her daughter made this choice.
Katie and Parm chat about Parm's feelings towards her Stepkids biomum and why she feels determined to keep her in the family without living in her shadows.
A beautifully uplifting conversation!
