Stepmum Space
Stepmum Space — The Podcast for Stepmums, Stepfamily Support & Blended Family Help
Stepmum Space is the podcast for stepmums who love their partner, care deeply about their stepchildren, and often feel overwhelmed by everything that comes with stepfamily life.
Hosted by Katie South — stepmum, transformational coach, and founder of Stepmum Space — this podcast offers real, honest, emotionally validating conversations for anyone navigating the complex world of blended families / stepfamilies.
Katie is also a leading media voice and advocate for stepmum wellbeing, regularly speaking about stepfamily dynamics, emotional load, boundaries, and the unseen pressures stepmums face. Her mission is to break the silence surrounding stepmotherhood and to bring compassionate, psychologically informed support into mainstream conversations.
Whether you're searching for stepmum support, co-parenting help, stepfamily guidance, or just a place where your feelings finally make sense, you’re in the right place.
Katie became a stepmum over a decade ago and, like so many women, found herself facing big emotions! Stepmums are often dealing with loyalty binds, co-parenting challenges, anxiety, resentment, boundaries, burnout and the pressure to “stay strong” — all with very little support.
Stepmum Space was created to change that.
Each episode features candid conversations, practical coaching insights, and lived experiences from stepmums and stepfamilies who truly get it. Expect gentle honesty, psychological depth, and tools you can actually use.
If you’re feeling like an outsider, overwhelmed by dynamics you didn’t create, trying to balance being supportive with maintaining your own sanity, or just looking for a community that gets it — this podcast is for you.
