“The Stepmom Summit has been life changing in that it opened my eyes to new perspectives and gave me tools for coping. It also gave me an opportunity to connect with other stepmoms and I did not have that before. I look forward the next one! Thank you!
sabrina, Stepmom Summit attendee
“The Stepmom Summit helped normalize a lot of the day-to-day chaos and helped me be able to move past the drama and re-focus on my relationship with my husband and stepchild.”
michelle, Stepmom Summit attendee
“As a stepmom for 13 years, I expected most of the material to be a “refresher” for me, but whoa was I wrong. I learned a ton of new things, and the speaker lineup was top-notch. I was really blown away by the Summit and finally feel like our needs are (finally!) being heard, thank you, thank you, thank you!”
holliday, Stepmom Summit attendee

Meet Your Host
Hi, I'm Cameron!
And my passion is helping stepmoms like you not just survive stepfamily life, but actually love your stepmom role. I’m a stepmom of four, one with special needs, and I’ve been exactly where you are.
As a stepdaughter since I was 8, when I became a stepmom, I assumed I knew what the job entailed. Boy, was I wrong!
My first year of stepmom life was tough. Like close the closet door and cry by myself on the floor tough.
I felt like no one could understand what I was going through, and I didn’t have many stepmom friends to talk to.
I was trying my hardest, but I just felt overwhelmed and alone. And I wondered what the heck I had gotten myself into.
I realized that something had to change, but I had no idea where to start.
I couldn’t find the resources I needed online, and nothing seemed to really apply to my situation, so I decided to do a deep dive and become a certified stepfamily coach.
And not only did I figure out how to get my peace back as a stepmom, but I realized I wanted to help others do the same.
I’m also the CEO of Stepfamily Solutions, where we support stepmoms and stepfamilies through Stepfamily Magazine, the Stepfamily Circle membership, and the Stepmom Diaries podcast.
Grab your ticket and join me + 30 other stepfamily experts for a one-of-a-kind event to help you finally build the relationships you’ve always dreamed of in your stepfamily.
I can’t wait to see you at the Summit!
Real people. Real stories.
“This summit came at the exact right time for me – I was feeling discouraged and down and the speakers all brought me hope. I know it will be a long road but I’m feeling more confident that I can get the stepmom life I want. I hope for another summit soon!”
tanya, Stepmom Summit attendee
“I really hope you have this again next year, I learned so much! The speakers were all amazing. Thank you for putting this together, it is SO needed!”
jennifer, Stepmom Summit attendee
“The Stepmom Summit was the first time I truly felt seen. And I walked away with strategies that work in real life, not just on paper.”
jessica, Stepmom Summit attendee

The Stepmom Summit is here to help you finally feel seen, supported, and respected in your own home.
You don’t need yet another online voice telling you to hate your spouse’s ex or to just step back from your stepkids. Good news! That is NOT what you’re going to find at this event.
The Stepmom Summit offers REAL solutions for REAL people from all walks of life.
The Stepmom Summit was specifically created for ALL stepmoms:
Whether you’re an every-other-weekend stepmom or a full-time stepmom.
Whether you have a high-conflict ex or if she’s your BFF.
Whether you love your stepkids like your own or if you can barely stand them and dread their visits.
Stepmom life doesn’t have to be full of constant stress. Things can get better, and we want to help you get there.
Real people. Real stories.
“This summit changed my life. It pulled together all the threads of knowledge I’ve been gathering throughout my stepmom journey, and quilted them all into a beautiful, empowering inner peace. Thank you so much.”
Stephanie, Stepmom Summit Attendee
What can I possibly say about this Stepmom Summit? Firstly, it was AHHMAAAZING! Secondly, the organizer did an outstanding job putting this all together virtually with positivity, inclusivity, love, laughter and knowledge. The speakers were awesome. Thanks ladies for an amazing three days!”
Lynell, Stepmom Summit Attendee
“I’ve always felt left out of the “mom club” as a stepmom. After attending the stepmom summit, I now feel like I am part of an amazing tribe of women who are so strong and make a difference in their families everyday.”

Have Q’s?
We’ve Got The A’s!
Is this just for stepmoms?
Yes...and no. 😉
The Stepmom Summit was created specifically for stepmoms and the unique challenges they face in blended family life. However, we also warmly welcome counselors, therapists, social workers, coaches, and other professionals who work with stepfamilies.
Whether you’re a stepmom feeling overwhelmed or a professional looking for deeper insight and practical tools to support stepfamilies, you’ll find valuable guidance, resources, and conversations here.
Is it really free?
Yes! Your ticket is 100% free. You can attend all 5 days, learn from our experts, and connect with thousands of stepmoms everywhere – no credit card required!
But fair warning: after you register, you will get some emails with some pretty tempting upgrade offers. They’re packed with value (I’m talking, thousands in bonuses & producats, VIP coaching sessions…), but if you’re just here for the free stuff, that’s totally fine. No guilt trips, no hard sells. Just a lot of community, expert guidance and tools – and good vibes!
Are the presentations live?
Yes! We will be on LIVE all week long with each and every session!
I've tried everything. How is this different?
Every session is built on research and lived experience, not anecdotal advice. You’ll hear from stepmoms and experts who get it because they’ve been in your shoes before. Plus you’ll walk away with tools you can use right away.
I'm in a queer stepfamily; is this event for me?
Yes! Our mission is to serve ALL stepmoms. Whether you’re straight or queer. Whatever your race is. And whether you’re a stepmom of faith or agnostic, or anything in between.
Our diverse group of hosts and speakers have each experienced the ups and downs of stepfamily life in incredibly different ways. They’ve lived it, learned it, and are ready to pass their rich experience on to you.
What if I miss a speaker or panel I want to see?
Don’t worry! You’ll be able to access recordings of the speakers and panels for free until 24 hours after the event.
But if you’d like access longer, we have a couple of great VIP options for you. With our Reserved Seating Pass, you can enjoy the freedom to watch and rewatch every session on your own schedule. And our Backstage Pass will not only give you unlimited access to the recordings (every single one), but also gives you amazing bonuses and gifts from all of our summit speakers and sponsors to ensure that you have everything you need to THRIVE in your stepfamily role! You can find out about them HERE.
Will all of the speakers get my email address?
No. We know you may not want to stay in touch with every single speaker. A speaker will get your email address when you download any resources from their site. And you can opt out of future communications at any time.
Learn more in our Privacy Policy.
Are the videos captioned or transcribed?
We want the summit to be accessible to absolutely everyone. So we will be using a platform that offers real-time captions/transcriptions. All sessions are provided in English (translation services are not available at this time).
I still have questions!
If you still have questions, we encourage you to go ahead and sign up. Your questions will likely be answered during the event or in the Facebook community, which you’ll be able to join right away after grabbing your free ticket.
However, if you need to ask us a question before registering, feel free to send us an email at [email protected].
