Blending families can be one of the most challenging dynamics to navigate — especially for stepmoms who often feel like outsiders in their own homes.

In this episode of Sunshine Café, Lisa sits down with Alicia Krasko, host of The Stepmom Side Podcast, to talk honestly about the realities of stepmom life and what actually helps create healthier relationships in blended families.

Together they explore why connection should come before correction, how to navigate different expectations between households, and why empathy, curiosity, and clear communication can make such a difference for both kids and parents.

Whether you're a stepmom, part of a blended family, or navigating complex family relationships, this conversation offers practical encouragement and thoughtful insights to help you build stronger connections at home.
