The Stepmom Side Podcast
Do you find yourself googling for "Stepmom help" or "Stepmom struggles" more than you'd care to admit?
If so, you're in the right place. The Stepmom Side Podcast is a conversational podcast about being a Stepmom and what that actually looks like. Host Alicia Krasko covers everything from part-time, full-time, to being an empty nester as a Stepmom.
Every week, you'll get a bit of humor, advice, and a conversation that will have you taking an objective look at how you're showing up. You can expect honest (and uncomfortable) conversations with perspective shifts mixed in to help you create the life you no longer have to google for help.

148: Summer Break Is Chaos for Stepmoms—Here’s How to Take Back Control of Your Home
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Summer break sounds fun… until your house turns into chaos, the routines disappear, and you feel like you’re running a summer camp you never signed up for.
In this episode, Alicia breaks down how stepmoms can create structure, maintain control, and protect their sanity during summer break—without turning into the “strict” or overwhelmed one in the house.
If you’re already dreading the lack of routine, constant transitions between homes, and the mental load of managing it all… this episode is your game plan.
You’ll learn how to create a flexible daily structure, set expectations that actually stick, and navigate summer transitions without feeling like you’re starting over every week.
Because summer doesn’t have to feel like survival mode. You don’t need a perfect summer. You need a plan that creates just enough structure to keep your home calm, predictable, and manageable.
