概要

The Stepparenting Network is a podcast dedicated to honest, meaningful conversations about the realities of stepparenting and blended family life; the parts that are rarely talked about, yet deeply felt.


Hosted by Lina Shine, this show creates space for stepparents, parents, and thought leaders to explore the emotional, mental, and personal growth that often comes with stepping into a blended family. From navigating complex family dynamics and unspoken expectations to building emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-awareness, each episode is rooted in empathy, reflection, and real-life experience.

Whether you’re a stepparent in the thick of it, considering becoming one, or simply passionate about emotional growth and healthy relationships, The Stepparenting Network offers connection, validation, and thoughtful conversation, reminding you that you’re not alone and that growth is possible even in the most challenging seasons.


New episodes explore real stories, practical insights, and the inner work that helps stepparents become grounded, confident, and emotionally supported in their journey.

  • Imposter Syndrome in Stepmotherhood: The Emotional Truth

    Imposter Syndrome in Stepmotherhood: The Emotional Truth
    2026/02/11

    Imposter syndrome doesn’t just show up at work—it shows up at home too, especially in stepmotherhood. In this episode, I’m joined by guest host Lauren Weeks, a long-distance stepmom, to have an honest, validating conversation about imposter syndrome as a stepmom and the quiet doubts so many stepmothers carry.

    We explore what it feels like to love children you don’t live with full-time, question your role in a family you joined later, and wonder if you truly belong. Lauren shares her experience navigating long-distance stepmotherhood, emotional distance, comparison, and the pressure to “get it right” when you’re not always physically present.

    Whether you’re navigating marriage, stepparenting, blended families, or long-term partnerships, this conversation sheds light on why patience, emotional regulation, and intentional effort matter more than ever.
