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.
