In this episode Katie talks to Nietta.
Nietta shares her story of becoming a Stepmum to four kids from two bio Mums. She brought two of her own biological children into the relationship and she talks about how her experiences of bringing up her own children and her positive experience of co-parenting with her ex Husband made her naive to what Stepmumming would entail.
Nietta explains how she constantly felt she had to prove herself as a Stepmum, to those around her as well as herself. She courageously shares how when things didn't go so well she felt like she was failing and her mental health took a battering.
She candidly shares how she resented her stepsons for a period of time because they weren't behaving in the way she wanted them to. Nietta turned this around by reframing the situation and how she thought about her stepsons and their relationship has improved hugely!
Nietta has put a LOT of work into her mindset and her mental health with relation to her role as a Stepmum and it shows! She shares how she has put boundaries in place to protect her peace and how she has taken responsibility for her own behaviour and actions and made changes to how she thinks about things and how she handles stepfamily situations.
Nietta is a strong, empowered woman and there is a lot that Stepmums can take from this conversation!
