It’s a brand-new year and in this episode of Raising His Kids! Toni and Lauren tackle one of the most challenging aspects of stepparenting—resentment. Whether it’s feeling overshadowed by the biological mother, dealing with unmet expectations, or struggling with the emotional weight of being a stepmother, resentment is a feeling many of us know all too well.
Toni and Lauren share their personal experiences with resentment, unpack listener questions, and provide strategies to help stepmothers acknowledge and move past these feelings. From setting healthy boundaries and prioritising self-care to letting go of the “first place” mentality, this episode is packed with practical tips to help you navigate resentment and foster stronger relationships within your blended family.
This episode also includes some big news—Lauren shares a personal announcement, while Toni talks about the future of Raising His Kids and her vision for keeping it a safe, supportive space for blended families.
Grab your coffee or your wine, and join us for an honest, heartfelt discussion about one of the hardest parts on this Stepmother Rollercoaster.
