One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned since becoming a mother is there’s no perfect way to parent. No matter your role - step parent, adopted parent, parent or otherwise. There’s no such thing as ‘perfect’. In fact you can delete that word from your vocabulary right now. Becoming a stepmama has been one of the biggest gifts, lessons and areas of growth of my life. Step parenting ain’t for the faith hearted, it’s for the BIG hearted and I truly believe, it has been integral in my journey of becoming a mother to my baby girl. Join me for this super heartfelt and vulnerable conversation with a dear friend of mine, Alyssa Nobriga where we delve into the truth about being a ‘bonus parent’ and break down all the stigmas of what it means to be a stepmama. We talk about what it means to be a soulful step parent, how to deal with messy step situations, respecting boundaries, how to honour your truth and build a beautfiul blened family and what it takes to not only THRIVE as a step mama, but how to show up with heart and intention.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/469 for the show notes.Join my newsletter: www.melissaambrosini.com/newsletterFollow me on Instagram: @melissaambrosini Hosted on Acast.

Before I was even pregnant, I had preconceived ideas about the kind of mother I’d be, and what I would and would not do as a parent. (I think many of us do!)Today, in this solo episode, I want to unpack those expectations I’d placed on myself — and how it is that I came to do some of the EXACT things I swore I’d never do.I think it’s so empowering to talk about this kind of stuff — about letting ourselves evolve, adapt and change our minds; about acknowledging that sometimes, despite our best intentions, a certain choice hasn’t worked out the way we thought; and about doing what’s best for our children and ourselves, even if that ‘best’ is not what we originally envisioned.So press play to hear my very intimate, very vulnerable, personal account of 8 things that I thought I’d NEVER do since becoming a mama… but which actually turned out to be exactly what my baby, my family and I needed. From having our daughter on a set routine, to packing away our Montessori floor bed (for now!), to sleeping in a separate bedroom from Nick, this is our family’s story.
