    The episode about adult step kids has been a real eye opener, and things that were hard to hear but I needed to hear.

    Thank you, I just found your podcast, I love that you’re so honest and real about all the struggles, you don’t sugar coat a thing, you make me feel validated for my feelings and that I’m not the crazy on in this mess!

  • Life Saving!

    While in the throes of my “stepmom” stress, resentment and confusion desperately trying to find a solution, answer, and HELP, I found Alicia’s podcast. Instantly I thought “OMG she gets me! Someone. Anyone. Finally.” Alicia’s podcast has shed so much light on my/our situation. I have been following on social media and also now part of her stepmom community and I can’t recommend any and all of it enough!

  • I don’t feel alone (or ashamed!) any longer!

    So glad I found Alicia & her step mom podcast! I’m so comforted knowing the feelings and thoughts I have are typical of the step mom situation and I’m not alone! Her insights have given me real tools and reminders when I’m knee deep in the step mom/family dynamic! Thank you!
