In this heartfelt and refreshingly honest episode, Katie is joined by Grace—a witty, warm, and wonderfully open guest who shares her journey into stepmotherhood. From living footloose and fancy-free to becoming a full-time stepmum of two, Grace opens up about the emotional shifts, identity changes, and unexpected challenges that come with joining a “pre-made” family.

We explore:

• What it’s really like to feel like an outsider in your own home
• How to handle judgment from others about your stepkids
• Why self-compassion matters—and how “I did the best I could at the time” can be the most powerful thing you say to yourself

Whether you’re deep in the trenches or just starting out, this conversation is a reminder that you’re not alone—and that your experience is valid.

Katie talks to Kristin, a Stepmum to 4 and Mum to one.

Kristin is also a life coach who works predominantly with Stepmums in the US.

Katie and Kristin cover a lot of ground in this chat, from the complicated emotions which many stepmums experience, to what to do when you have very different views to the other house, to knowing when to step in and when to step back with our stepkids.
