Are you a childless or childfree stepmom feeling like a broken record? Alicia gets real about the exhausting cycle of repeating yourself to your stepkids—whether it's chores, routines, or basic expectations—and feeling like it's never enough.

She opens up about her own realization that forgetfulness and resistance aren’t about being a stepmom—they’re just part of how kids grow and learn. With practical tools and empowering mindset shifts, this episode will help you release the guilt, drop the unrealistic expectations, and approach those “reminder moments” with less stress and more confidence.

Whether you're constantly asking them to take their shoes off, clean up after themselves, or simply follow through, this episode is your reminder that you're doing it right—even if it doesn’t feel like it.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why kids need repetition, no matter who’s parenting them
• How childless and childfree stepmoms often misinterpret forgetfulness as disrespect
• Mindset shifts to reduce frustration and resentment
• Practical strategies to stop feeling like a nag
• Why needing reminders doesn’t mean you’re failing as a stepmom
