Описание: Have you ever handled a stepfamily moment calmly, maturely, and with impressive emotional intelligence — only to completely unravel hours later?


Alicia breaks down the difference between your thinking self and your nervous system, and why logic isn’t enough to regulate emotional reactions in blended family life.


This episode is especially for high-functioning, Type A stepmoms who pride themselves on being self-aware but feel confused (and frustrated) when that awareness doesn’t stop the emotional spirals.


Alicia explains why stepmom triggers hit so deeply, why feelings often show up after the situation is over, and how nervous system responses are rooted in safety, belonging, and attachment — not immaturity or weakness.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The difference between your thinking brain and your nervous system
• Why stepmom triggers go straight to feelings of rejection and belonging
• Why you “handle it well” in the moment but fall apart later
• Why logic doesn’t calm a body-based response
• What emotional regulation actually looks like in real life

This episode helps stepmoms stop judging themselves for emotional reactions and start understanding what their body is trying to communicate.


This conversation is a key foundation for Resentment to Relief, Alicia’s framework for helping stepmoms stop managing resentment and start releasing it by working with — not against — their nervous system.
