  • #142: Family Court, Co-Parenting Stress, and Protecting Your Peace With Sol Kennedy
    Mar 31 2026

    In this episode of The Stepmom Side Podcast, Alicia talks with Sol Kennedy, founder of the Best Interest co-parenting app, about high-conflict co-parenting, family court, co-parent communication, and how AI can help parents reduce conflict.

    Sol shares how his own divorce and co-parenting experience led him to create an app that acts like a buffer between toxic messages and reactive responses. They talk about why the family court system can feel emotionally brutal, how co-parenting apps are usually built for documentation instead of actual peace, and why so many parents and stepparents feel completely drained by ongoing conflict with an ex.

    If you are navigating divorce, co-parenting stress, stepparent overwhelm, custody issues, or constant conflict with an ex, this episode will help you think differently about communication, boundaries, and protecting your peace.

    In this episode, Alicia and Sol discuss:

    • High-conflict co-parenting and emotional triggers
    • How AI can support calmer co-parent communication
    • The role of co-parenting apps in reducing conflict
    • How stepparents absorb stress from bio-parent conflict
    • Why “being the bigger person” feels exhausting
    • How slowing down communication can protect your peace

  • #141: The Hidden Reason Stepmoms Feel Like the Least Supported Person at Home
    Mar 24 2026

    In this episode, Alicia explores why stepmoms often feel like the least supported person in their own home. She breaks down the emotional and mental load stepmoms carry, the role of over-functioning, and how relationship dynamics with partners can unintentionally reinforce feelings of isolation.

    Stepmoms will gain insight into why this pattern happens and learn actionable strategies for communicating their needs, setting boundaries, and creating more support within their relationship.

    This episode is for stepmoms who feel overwhelmed, unseen, and exhausted from holding everything together—and are ready to feel more supported and in control.

  • 140: Stepmom Burnout: When Family Expectations Don’t Match Your Capacity
    Mar 17 2026

    In this episode of The Stepmom Side Podcast, Alicia wraps up the Role Clarity Series by exploring what happens when expectations in blended families exceed a stepmom’s emotional and mental capacity.

    Many stepmoms feel pressure to overextend themselves in order to keep the peace, avoid conflict, or prove they are a “good” stepmom. This episode helps listeners identify expectations they may be carrying unconsciously, evaluate whether those expectations are sustainable, and begin honoring their own capacity without guilt.

    If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or resentful in your stepmom role, this episode will help you reassess expectations and create healthier boundaries.
