S6: Episode 2: The long game is exhausting with full-time stepmama, Anna

Christina chats with Anna a full-time stepmom who has been through high conflict, custody battles, control issues with communication, self esteem and guilt. Any of this sound familiar? Anna shares her experience with full custody stepmom life, the pros and cons, what helps and doesn't help and what she struggles with most. They chat how to support stepkids who don't see their other parent often and the ever changing "seasons" of stepmotherhood. Grab your beverage of choice and listen in! About My Guest: Anna, 29 years old, stepmom for 7 years, full time stepmom for 5 years to a totally awesome 10 year old SS. Just got engaged to my wonderfully supportive fiancé and asked to be an "official" stepmom by my SS. I work as a Recreation Therapist at a psychiatric hospital for youth ages 5-17. I know stepmoms are damn tough, but I know we also need love! So much more than a podcast!!! Find me on the Gram @radicalstepmomspodcast Want a little more support?
