Episode Details

Anybody else look at the summer custody schedule and immediately feel their eye start twitching? 😅

In this episode, we're talking about why summer hits so differently in a blended family and why so many stepmoms head into this season already feeling overwhelmed, resentful, and exhausted before it even begins.

From schedule changes and camp logistics to vacation drama and invisible labor, summer can bring out every existing stress point in stepfamily life. But you are not powerless in it.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why summer creates so much stress for stepmoms

• The hidden mental load many stepmoms carry during this season

• How to protect your peace instead of trying to make summer "perfect"

• Simple communication and boundary strategies that actually help

If summer in your blended family already feels chaotic before it's even started, this episode will help you feel less alone and a whole lot more prepared.
