EP 72: You can't live 100% of your life, 50% of the time.
Episode 72
Tuesday, 12 August, 2025

In this powerful episode, I dive deep into a critical challenge for stepmoms: living life beyond the custody schedule. Drawing from a chapter in my upcoming book Stepmomming Made Easy, I share personal insights on how custody arrangements shouldn't dictate your entire life. I explore how constantly planning around your stepchild's schedule can lead to burnout, resentment, and missed opportunities. The key message? Live your life 100% of the time, not just 50%. By maintaining a full, balanced life, you actually model healthier relationships for your stepchildren and protect your own mental well-being. This episode offers validation and practical strategies for stepmoms feeling trapped by rigid custody schedules, empowering them to make intentional choices that support their happiness and family dynamics.Links Mentioned: Pre-order Stepmomming Made Easy and receive 3 value-packed bonuses: https://stepmomming.com/book/Ready to create a stepmom life you love?
