When your in-laws are still close with your partner’s ex, it can feel like emotional whiplash. You’re trying to build a future while they’re still tethered to the past—and it leaves you wondering where (or if) you fit in. In this extended episode, Alicia gets real about her own experience of feeling like the outsider in her husband’s family and shares how she moved from frustration to clarity.


You’ll learn how to navigate this tricky dynamic without shutting people out, setting healthy boundaries around what you will (and won’t) discuss, and how to confidently define your own place in the family—even if it feels like the ex is still holding space.


This episode is part validation, part strategy, and 100% support for the stepmom who's tired of feeling like the backup option.


What You’ll Hear:

• Why it hurts when in-laws stay close to the ex
• Alicia’s personal story of feeling like the outsider
• Boundary-setting phrases you can use with in-laws
• How to talk to your partner about what you’re feeling
