How do you create your happily ever after when you're raising someone else's kids (not to mention dealing with their ex)?
Congratulations - you found your soulmate!
But it just so happens that your knight in shining armor comes with kids - and also an ex.
No matter how well you "blend," when you join a ready-made family, it's impossible to fully understand (much less prepare for!) what you've signed up for.
Do You Ever Feel Like . . .
- You’re just “getting by” every day and have no control over your own life because your partner’s ex and kids dictate every detail?
- You lost out on all the fun “firsts” with your partner and have sacrificed your own happiness for this new family?
- You have all the responsibilities of parenting but none of the respect from the kids and you’re constantly comparing yourself to your partner’s ex?
- You don’t have many other stepmoms in your life, so you feel totally alone, like nobody gets it.
Meanwhile, what you really want is . . .
- To feel like yourself again and like you get to make decisions over your life and to stop feeling like you’re in a relationship with your partner AND their ex.
- To feel secure in your role and relationship so that you feel heard, accepted, and treated like a real parent. And like you’re part of the family, not an outsider or third wheel.
- To have a strong relationship (or at least mutual respect) with the kids.
- Connections with other women who understand who have been in the same role of stepmom that you can talk to about your experiences.
We get it. Because we've been there, too.
The Stepmom Summit will help you calm your blended family chaos and begin to thrive.

Is this only for stepmoms?
It sure is! We have a lot of resources that every member of a stepfamily can use, but we have tailored this particular event just for the unique challenges that face stepmoms.
