Have you ever stepped into a role you did not fully understand until you were already knee-deep in orthodontist appointments, Starbucks runs, school emails, weird smells in the backseat, and emotional territory nobody thought to map out for you?

In Episode 4 of Still Standing with Diane Six, Diane shares a special story from Step Into My Shoes about

Step-motherhood, bonus love, blended families, and the quiet emotional work that happens in the in-between moments.

Because Episode 6 had to mean something - Six is the last name, after all.

This episode is funny, heartfelt, and honest about what it means to step into a role you did not fully understand until you were already living it. From orthodontist appointments and Starbucks runs to eye rolls, car chats, and unexpected "Love you" moments, Diane reflects on the complicated beauty of being a Bonus Mom.

For Step-moms, moms, blended families, and anyone who has ever loved someone through an unexpected role, this episode is a reminder that the quiet love counts.

Stuck in a chapter you didn’t choose? Still Standing with Diane Six brings you honest stories, hard-won humor, and practical support to help you keep going — one step at a time. For women who have lived through the “you can’t make this up” chapters — and are still standing, laughing, rebuilding, and occasionally wondering what in the actual hell just happened.
