WHAT I DO:

I help stepmoms live Happily Ever After.

One of the reasons that so many stepmothers struggle to create a blended family life that they love living in is because they’re aiming toward someone else’s definition of happy. Due to an immeasurable number of factors, Happily Ever After means very different things to different stepmoms.

That’s why I help stepmoms define and design the type of role they actually want to play in their stepfamily. The result? An entirely authentic, connected, and fulfilling place to come home to.   

WHO I WORK WITH:

When providing coaching and consulting, I work with the type of stepmom who:

+ Struggles to bond with her partner’s kids

+ Battles with jealousy, resentment, or awkwardness 

+ Feels guilty or ashamed about her thoughts and feelings 

+ Only seems to argue with her spouse about stepchildren or ex-spouse related issues

+ Is tired of feeling like she lives a double life

+ Has tried (unsuccessfully) to set boundaries around her time & energy in the past and now mostly avoids boundary conversations in order to “keep the peace”

+ Is on the path to burnout due to overextending herself and getting little or nothing in return

+ Gets trapped in obsessive thinking about her partner’s first mate and the life they shared together

+ And any other stepmom who feels like the life she signed up for and the life she’s found herself living are very, very different things.

I prefer to work with women who have the capacity and willingness to go deep. The transformation offered by this work is profound for those willing to be led. I prefer to work with those who have at least some foundation in personal development principles; have big ambitions for their quality of life; and are wanting to be rewarded energetically for their investment into cultivating a healthy, happy home. 

WHY I HAVE SO MANY SUCCESS STORIES:

The core of my stepmom coaching philosophy comes from 8 years in the trenches as a stepmother, with the last 5 of those being in practice with clients from all around the world. Combine that with a decade of mental health & nursing experience, and I’ve discovered there are 4 phases that lead to a stepmom’s Happily Ever After: 

1. IDENTIFY the role stepmom authentically wants to play in her stepfamily & the roadblocks that have prevented this role from already being realized

2. IMPLEMENT the appropriate boundaries that will balance stepmom’s time, energy, and money expenditure, so that she can quickly begin manifesting her peaceful life into reality

3. INVESTIGATE any resistance to boundary implementation, and untangle the unhealthy or unhelpful patterns preventing positive change

4. ITERATE

When one grows through these 4 phases, stepmom life becomes peaceful, loving, and fulfilling.

Instead of disconnection, there is genuine compassion.

Instead of looking for any excuse to leave the house when the kids are home, the peaceful stepmom is intentionally and authentically integrated.

Instead of resentment and jealousy, there is a profound gratitude for your partner’s first life: without it, such a deep level of healing and clarity would likely never have been reached.

We are living in an age of emotional, mental, and spiritual health crisis. Home should be the one place in the world that folks want to escape *to.* That’s why my mission is to help 100 million people feel safe, respected, and welcome in their homes.

Like Mother Teresa said: “If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.”
