EP 67: Unique Challenges of Childless Stepmotherhood with Blooming Stepmom

Kristen Skiles Season 3 Episode 67

Calling all childless stepmoms! In today's vulnerable and heartfelt conversation, childless stepmom Lauren shares her struggles with infertility and how it impacted her role as a stepmom. She opens up about the resentment, guilt, and loss of identity she experienced, as well as the strategies that helped her maintain hope. Lauren provides invaluable advice for other childless stepmoms navigating this complex journey, emphasizing the importance of self-care, community, and redefining one's identity beyond the stepmom role. This episode offers a safe space for childless stepmoms everywhere to feel seen, heard, and supported.


Lauren is a stepmom of seven years and a proud mom to an 18-month-old. When she first stepped into the world of blended families, she searched for resources that specifically supported childless stepmoms—only to come up empty-handed. Determined to fill this gap, she created Blooming Stepmom, a platform dedicated to empowering stepmoms who often feel misunderstood or undervalued in their roles.


Over the past five years, Lauren has become a passionate advocate for childless stepmoms, helping them navigate the unique dynamics of their families while finding confidence and fulfillment in their lives. From addressing the challenges of co-parenting to embracing a role that doesn’t include being a biological parent, Lauren has supported countless women in redefining what it means to be a stepmom.


Now, as the co-host of a weekly podcast, Lauren extends her mission to a broader audience, sharing relatable stories, actionable advice, and encouragement for stepmoms everywhere. Through candid conversations and heartfelt advocacy, she’s creating a community where stepmoms can thrive and feel truly seen.
