Mental Motherhood #6: They're Mine Now Too, Sort of… (ft. Britney Eglinton, LPC-S)

This week we’re talking to Britney Eglinton about the grey area of motherhood: stepmotherhood. For her it’s a privilege and joy, but also often tricky to navigate and lonely. Britney has always been a career-oriented, driven individual who then fell in love with and married a father of two girls, and now structures her life choices around her instant family, while simultaneously struggling to feel like she fully fits into the unit. This one’s all about being both in and out, and the pressure to do both things really well and at just the right moment!Want more Britney?
