Get the stepmom help you need to get clear about how to balance all the *sometimes conflicting* needs of a complex blended family life so that you and your partner can experience more grace, connection, understanding, and harmony in the household.
Being a Stepmom is quite the personal growth journey! I know personally.
That is me and my blended family on the right. (My husband posing silly.)
When I became a Stepmom in 2013, I felt overwhelmed, full of self-doubt, and confused by how challenging the role ended up being. I thought of myself as intelligent, great with kids (I'd been babysitting and nannying forever), and emotionally attuned and yet, I could not figure out a way to navigate my role that contributed to the peaceful, loving, connected experience I wanted so badly.
I hired my own Stepmom Coach and found it tremendously helpful- finally someone who got it! I went on to get trained and certified as a Stepmom Coach myself in 2015 and have been working with Stepmoms ever since both as a licensed therapist, in groups, and as a coach.
Research shows that close to 70% of second marriages fail, and that it can take 7 years for a blended family to gel. It often doesn't go the way we expect.
I talk to Stepmoms all the time who struggle with the complexities:
-
Dealing with a challenging ex
-
Behavioral issues with the kids that seem impossible to solve because people aren't on the same page
-
Differences in parenting styles with partners
-
Financial burdens
-
Custody issues and more
Regardless of the specifics, there are some aspects of the challenges that ring true for everyone. I have the personal and professional experience to support you through stepmom therapy and coaching.
You're not alone if you need stepmom help!
If you've ever said:
"I feel so bad that I don't look forward to the kids coming over"
"I don't know how much to insert myself and how much to let go of"
"My husband is constantly talking with his ex and it makes me feel crazy"
"The ex causes constant drama and I hate seeing my husband go through what he has to go through"
" The kids have no responsibility and it makes me feel crazy"
Step-moms have a hard time feeling like other people understand what they are going through.
Their mom friends don't quite get it, their single friends definitely don't get it, and there's a lot of outside pressure and expectations that they feel burdened by.
This is why Stepmom Therapy and Stepmom Coaching can be so helpful!

Stepmom to 10 yr old boy
The Step Mom Strong support group gave me skills to be able to build a relationship with my stepson. It gives me a place to turn when i need advice and things get hard. Ladies who understand the struggle. Nathalie was a life/relationship saver. I couldn't be happier that i joined her group!"

I can tell stepmom's who haven't had this experience that it's so worth it! Nathalie is the person who put me on the path I've been following the past couple years. She taught me that a lot of the expectations I thought were on me, I was putting on myself. There's a lot of love and support - but also some straight-talk, no BS reminders that more often than not, we alone are responsible for the state of our lives!
Alex
Stepmom to ages 12 & 13
Each week, we focused on different aspects of ourselves and how to bring back boundaries and personal needs... things I hadn't even considered since I joined my blended family.
Who was I before? What mattered to me? It is OK to retain those things while loving this new situation. So much of what was said made me appreciate my blended family (including my partner's ex) and gave me the tools to negotiate myself within my current situation. I'd do any of it again!
