Alicia is a dedicated Stepmom Coach, host of The Stepmom Side Podcast, and CEO of The Stepmom Side Community, a space crafted to support stepmoms feeling isolated or overwhelmed in their roles. With a focus on helping stepmoms find confidence, peace, and joy, she offers a mix of one-on-one coaching, online courses, and a supportive membership community. When sheās not empowering stepmoms, you'll find Alicia spending time with her husband, daughter/stepkids, working out, traveling, or nurturing her garden. Her mission? To help stepmoms go from frustrated to thriving, one mindset shift at a time.
Alicia's Notes from the Sidelines:
- Learn to have confidence in your role and don't feel less than because you're the stepmom.
- You can't call the shots, have it your way, or run the show as a stepmom.
- It's normal to feel imposter syndrome if you are the stepmom and don't have your own kids.
- Alicia's best advice is to have house expectations for everyone to follow, and you must enforce them.
- It's okay to have different relationships with each stepchild, and it's okay to struggle to love them at tines.
- Things to expect during the holidays as a stepmom: last-minute schedule changes will happen, so plan for shit to go sideways, and don't complain to your partner when it does, because they are already struggling; talk about the actual holiday days ahead of time so you can incorporate your own traditions; go easy on the alcohol; know that the kids are going to be exhausted and maybe not even excited anymore so give them grace; don't compete with the other house over gifts.
- It's important to take care of yourself; fill your cup so you feel refreshed and recharged to take on family drama.
- You and your partner will experience situations differently, so ask, "How can I support you and what does that look like?"
- Look in the mirror and own your own flaws; you can't change anyone other than yourself.
- Get help early and often because everything is good until it's not. Find someone other than your partner to talk to.
