About this episode

Alyssa and Becca discuss the complexities of friendships in stepmom life and share personal stories about the changes that occur after becoming a stepmom.

Friendships as a stepmom can feel... complicated. In this raw and honest episode of Stepmom Side Chats, Alyssa and Becca dive into one of the most isolating parts of stepmom life, how friendships shift when your reality becomes blended family drama, court dates, co-parenting chaos, and emotions your friends simply may not understand. We’re talking about losing friendships, feeling judged, oversharing, emotional boundaries, and why so many stepmoms feel like no one truly gets it. We also share personal stories of friendships that changed, what we wish we had done differently, and how to find the people who can actually support you through this journey. Plus, we end with one of our favorite segments: Texts I Didn’t Send , and trust us... these submissions are wild. If you’ve ever felt alone, misunderstood, or like your friendships changed after becoming a stepmom, this episode is for you. ✨ Big Ass Candles | www.bigassluxuries.com and use the code STEPMOM for a discount ✨ Cozy Earth | ⁠www.cozyearth.com⁠ and use code STEPMOM ✨ Pateron private stepmom membership: ⁠⁠ https://patreon.com/Stepmomsidechats⁠⁠ ✨ Follow us on Instagram for more stepmom content and to stay connected for…
