🎧 Stepmum Space: The Podcast for Stepmum Support & Stepfamily Help

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.

S6, Ep 2: Eggshells and locked doors
In this episode, Katie talks to Jackie—a mum to one and stepmum to two—about the kind of stepfamily experience that rarely gets spoken about.
Jackie shares what it was like to live in a home where she didn’t feel safe. After her stepson began stealing from her, she had to put locks on her bedroom door and spent years walking on eggshells. It was a time filled with anxiety, confusion, and emotional exhaustion.
Together, Katie and Jackie explore:
- What it feels like when your home doesn’t feel like yours
- The emotional toll of living in survival mode as a stepmum
- How to navigate trust issues and protect your boundaries
- The impact on your relationship when you’re constantly on edge
- What healing looks like after years of feeling unsafe
This is a brave, honest conversation for any stepmum who’s been through the wringer and wondered if things could ever feel normal again. Jackie’s story is a powerful reminder that you’re not alone—and that support is out there.
