On this weeks she rises podcast, we're tackling one of the most loving, complicated and least talked-about roles out there: step-parenting. Joining us is expert Kris Byrnes, who's here to give us the real dos and don'ts… no sugar-coating. We're getting into the biggest misconceptions, how to build genuine connection with kids without forcing it, where the line sits on discipline, and the messy stuff most people are too scared to say out loud, including weaponising kids, jealousy toward an ex, and that whole "dating a man with kids is a red flag" debate. Whether you're a step-parent, a biological parent walking the tightrope between your child and your partner, or you're just blending two worlds and hoping for the best, this one is full of practical wisdom and honest insight you'll want to come back to.

275. STEP PARENTING ❤️‍🩹 The do’s and dont’s from Expert Coach Kris Byrnes

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses suicidal ideation. If anything here resonates with you, please know support is available. In Australia, Lifeline (13 11 14) and Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636) are free, confidential and available 24/7.

On this weeks bestie advice segment, a listener writes in about a loneliness that runs deep. She's a 32-year-old mum of three with a loving husband and so much to be grateful for — and yet she finds herself without a single close friend. She's left out at work, cancelled on when she tries to organise, and quietly wondering if there's something wrong with her. And she's tried: Pilates, connecting with other parents, putting herself out there again and again, only to watch nothing turn into the real thing. What she's longing for is that "soul sister" friendship — the kind that reminds her she's more than a mum and a wife. This one is for every woman who has ever felt invisible, questioned herself in the quiet, and wondered if she's the only one who feels this way. You're not. And this conversation is for you.

On this weeks bestie advice segment, a listener writes in about a friendship more than 20 years in the making and the quiet unravelling she's not proud of. But now that her friend is thriving in so many ways, a harder feeling has crept in: resentment, frustration, judgment. She's wrestling with differing values, guilt over catching up out of obligation, and the fact that she's one of the few friends her friend has left. Her question is one so many of us are scared to ask… how do you tell the difference between a friendship worth fighting for and one you've quietly outgrown? And how do you separate genuine concern from your own judgment?
