Season 7: Episode 10: Waking up and becoming a fulltime stepmom to teens, with guest, Emily

What would you do if the ex just called and gave up custody? Christina welcomes Emily to chat her experience of raising teens while transitioning to full-time step parenting. Emily shares how she has helped her kids manage their expectations of their mother, and how she jumped into full-time parenting without really knowing what is and isn't "my place". How do you manage first jobs, driving, and all of the things that come with being a teen? For the fulltime stepmoms, the teen raising stepmoms and any stepmom who's said "wtf?", this is for you. Listen in! Topics Discussed: - When the ex is managing her mental health - Long Distance stepmomming to full-time stepmomming - Finding what is "your place" as a full-time stepmom - Helping your stepkids mourn the relationship with their mom - Raising teens and all that comes with it So much more than a podcast!!!
