Stepmoms, Boundaries & High-Conflict Chaos with Naja Hall

In this powerful episode, Alyssa and Becca sit down with for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had about high-conflict co-parenting, loyalty binds, and what happens when being the “nice” stepmom stops working. Naja shares her own journey through parental alienation, conflict, and the emotional toll of loving children who may have been taught to keep their distance. Together, we unpack how chaos from another household can quietly impact your marriage, your identity, your peace, and even the way your stepkids show up in your home. This conversation is raw, funny, validating, and full of the hard truths many stepmoms need to hear, especially if you’ve ever felt misunderstood, pushed to your limits, or wondered how to love deeply while still protecting your peace.

You’re Not the Cruise Director: Surviving Summer as a Stepmom

Summer always sounds magical… until the custody schedules change, the kids are home 24/7, your routines disappear, and suddenly your house feels louder, messier, and a lot less like your own.In this episode, Alyssa and Becca open up about what summer really feels like as a stepmom, the pressure to make memories, plan activities, keep everyone entertained, manage different parenting styles, and somehow not lose yourself in the process. From camp chaos and screen-time guilt to relationship stress and burnout, this is the conversation stepmoms need before summer officially begins.Because sometimes being a stepmom in the summer doesn’t feel like sunshine and family memories… it feels like emotional overtime.✨ Big Ass Candles | <a href="https://www.bigassluxuries.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.bigassluxuries.com</a> and use the code STEPMOM for a discount✨ COZY EARTH |<a href="https://cozyearth.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> ⁠www.cozyearth.com⁠</a> and use code STEPMOM✨ Get Out | <a href="https://www.getout.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.getout.com</a> and use code STEPMOM✨ Pateron private stepmom membership:<a href="https://patreon.com/Stepmomsidechats?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> ⁠⁠</a><a href="https://patreon.com/Stepmomsidechats⁠⁠" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://patreon.com/Stepmomsidechats⁠⁠</a>✨ Follow us on Instagram for more stepmom content and to stay connected for future episodes<a href="https://www.instagram.com/stepmomsidechats?igsh=OXJsNm42dTBmZTRh&utm_source=qr" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> ⁠⁠@stepmomsidechats⁠⁠</a>✨ Leave us a review if this episode resonated with you, this helps us reach more stepmoms.
