    Episode 6: Ours baby: the plot twist that rocked the group chat

    Having an “ours” baby in a blended family is beautiful… and complicated. In this episode, Rebecca and Alyssa open up about the emotions stepmoms are often too afraid to admit — the grief of not being your partner’s first experience, the guilt of wanting something that’s just yours, the fear of your baby being treated differently, and the pressure of navigating all of it inside stepfamily dynamics. We talk honestly about what it feels like when your partner has already had his “firsts,” the reality of half-siblings, how stepfamily stress can hijack what should be sacred moments, and why protecting your pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood experience is not selfish: it’s necessary. If you’ve ever loved your stepchild deeply while still longing for something that belongs to just you, this conversation will remind you: you are not alone, you are not wrong, and you are allowed to protect this chapter with your whole heart. If this episode spoke to you, we’d love to stay connected with you outside the mic.
