Us Seen In
What’s the one heartbreaking thought about your stepkids and partner that you're afraid to say out loud?
I don’t know how you’d feel if you were choking back words you wanted to scream–but couldn’t–but I can tell you how Sarah secretly felt…
Every time Sarah’s stepkids stomped in on her new life, her body prepared for battle – chest tightening and stomach churning.
When bursts of laughter from her partner and his kids filled the room, it felt like fingernails on a chalkboard. Every time she was left out of their laughter, she felt rejected, like an outsider.
Then, every time her partner ignored her thoughts and feelings about their new blended life, she felt disrespected, unheard, even hollow—like a ghost in her own home.
To quiet her screaming inner voice, “I need to escape this life,” she drank gallons of liquor—to drown out the boiling anger she couldn’t admit aloud. It was a slow burn of self-destruction eating away at her soul and a growing hatred she was ashamed to feel.
Chances are, at least some of this feels familiar to you.
Because being a stepmom can feel complex and confusing, humiliating, and even toxic.
Being a stepmom can leave you feeling deeply inadequate when the natural emotion of love is beaten down and buried six feet under a burden of resentment, guilt, and shame.
Home stops being a home, and your voice stops being heard.
The four walls around you start to feel like a blended-family prison without a parole date.
The place that should make you feel safe feels like steel bars keeping you trapped.

When will you get the appreciation for everything you’ve given?
When will your sacrifices be rewarded with acceptance, acknowledgment, or even a simple thank-you?
When will you get the love that is so easy for your friends with “normal” families?
When will you stop feeling invisible in your blended family?
You struggle to find the answers but come up empty-handed and, worse, empty-hearted.
And so, your agitation turns to feelings of rage you can barely contain.
Like Sarah, whose nerves were just one hair trigger away from exploding in her stepkid’s face.
When raw emotions are on a razor’s edge, it’s easy to feel like a stranger in her own home.
But Sarah wasn’t alone. And neither are you.

“A few years ago, I was you – the scream queen of my own stepfamily horror show, ready to call ‘cut!’ and leave it all behind.”
I was confused. I felt alone. I felt isolated. I was hurting…so bad.
Today? I’m not a stepmom. I’m a step QUEEN.
What changed?
First, I stopped searching the internet for unicorns (a.k.a. “perfect” stepmoms). Next, I invented my own formula for becoming a joy-filled, unapologetic stepmom.
As a Certified Stepfamily Counselor and Registered Nurse, I’m here to help you discover your joy-filled stepmom formula. For over 15 years, I’ve walked the journey and been walking with stepmoms as they navigate blended family life.
I don’t just feel your pain—I’ve lived it, and I’ve found the way through.
Unlike most counselors, I won’t just explore your feelings. I’ll give you real, evidence-based mind-body-spirit tools to transform your stepfamily life.
From setting boundaries to navigating high-conflict co-parenting, I’ve got you covered.
But I won’t be your nana. You’ve got a treasure of inner power and strength you never dreamed possible, so I will give you the shovel and show you exactly how to find it.
Are you prepared to go from ready-to-run stepmom to solid-as-a-mountain step queen? Let’s do this.

Ready to Stop Hiding in the Bathroom During Visits?
The truth is:
- Your stepkids will be home again this weekend
- Your partner’s ex will send another triggering text
- And that knot in your stomach will stick around unless you do something about it
So ask yourself, and then make a decision:
- Are you tired of rehearsing the things “I should have said…”?
- Are you sick of feeling like an intruder in your own home?
- Are you prepared to stop fantasizing about running away?
- And are you done with watching the clock until the stepkids go home…and until they come back?
A peaceful home is priceless.
And you deserve to live in one.
