Co-parenting is hard, being a mum is hard, and being a stepmother is one of the most challenging and rewarding roles a woman can take on—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Welcome to Raising His Kids, the podcast dedicated to all mothers in blended families, hosted by Toni, a stepmum and bio mum.

As someone who experiences blended family life from both sides—as a biological mum and a stepmum—Toni offers a unique perspective on the complexities of this roller coaster. A domestic violence survivor who’s faced the chaos firsthand, she shares raw, honest, and relatable insights into the challenges of navigating relationships with high-conflict exes, blending families, and finding balance in the midst of it all.

Each week, you’ll find practical advice, real-life stories, and a supportive community that understands the highs and lows of Raising His Kids—whether that be as the bio mum or the stepmum. Toni isn’t afraid to talk about the hard stuff—because she’s lived it—and she’s passionate about empowering biological mothers and stepmothers alike to thrive and find security in their roles within the children’s lives.

Whether you’re new to this life or a seasoned co-parenting mum or stepmum, grab your coffee or wine and join Toni for candid conversations about what it means to embrace blended family chaos with grace and humour.

  • When Sick Kids and Co-Parenting Collide

    When Sick Kids and Co-Parenting Collide
    Jul 7 2025

    What is it about sick kids that brings out the worst in co-parenting dynamics? In this episode, Jyl and I unpack the passive-aggressive texts, the missing thermometers at 2am, the drama over doctor visits, and the emotional load that so often falls on one household.

    We also touch on how medication decisions, puberty, and step-parent involvement all get tangled up when communication breaks down.

    Whether you’re navigating this as a bio parent, bonus parent, or both — you’re not alone. This episode is honest, a little chaotic, and full of those “yep, been there” moments.

  • Step by Step, You Will Find Your Place

    Step by Step, You Will Find Your Place
    Jun 30 2025

    In this deeply honest episode, I sit down with Alex Willumsen — the voice behind Step by Step Brighton — a UK-based stepmum who supports women navigating stepfamily life, particularly those who are childless not by choice.

    Alex opens up about the heartbreak of infertility, the emotional toll of raising someone else’s children, and what it’s like to be seen as a “mum figure” while silently grieving the child she never had. We also talk about identity, high-conflict bio mums, and the unspoken tension between biological and childless stepmums.

    This episode is for any woman who’s ever questioned her role, her worth, or whether she belongs in the motherhood space.

    💞 One step at a time, you will find your place.

  • Healing Stepmom Burnout

    Healing Stepmom Burnout
    Jun 23 2025

    In this episode of Raising His Kids, Toni is joined by Veronica Grace Andrews—stepmum of over 15 years, former stepmum support group facilitator, and author of You Can Heal Stepmom Burnout.

    We talk about the emotional toll of stepmotherhood, how to recognise (and recover from) burnout, and the importance of protecting your peace—especially when your role doesn’t always come with clear boundaries or recognition. Veronica also opens up about the unexpected challenges that can still show up after the kids are grown.

    This one’s a must-listen for any mum in a blended family who’s ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or just plain exhausted. You’re not alone—and you deserve to feel whole again.
