🎧 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.

Stepmum Space
S6, Ep 1: "Home wasn't my safe space and my anxiety was in overdrive"
**This episode contains discussions on trying to conceive and vasectomies**
In this episode Katie talks to Jen. Jen's a Stepmum to two and a bio Mum to one. Jen is more than a decade into Stepmum life and has experienced so many ups and downs during her time as a Stepmum.
When Jen met her husband she didn't have children and as her husband had majority custody of her kids she became almost a full time Stepmum overnight. This enabled Jen to form a great bond with her Stepdaughter, and eventually her stepson who told her initially he felt he wasn't supposed to like her!
Katie and Jen talk about how much to give vs not treading on BioMum's toes and the huge anxiety that being a Stepmum can create.
Jen also bravely shares about how her husband eventually saw how he hadn't been supporting her and calling his kids out on their behaviour where he should have.
A wonderful chat with a BRILLIANT Stepmum!
