Step up to stepmomming with confidence with proven, expert advice from a Certified Stepparent Coach

In Stepmomming Made Easy: Strategies, Tools, and Everything Else You Need to Know, Certified Stepparent Coach Kristen Skiles delivers an inspiring and practical walkthrough of how to find peace, happiness, and fulfillment in your blended family. The author explains the roles of the various players involved in the blended family experience, and she shares hands-on strategies and mindsets that will help you adapt to your new role as a stepmom.

You'll explore the six key steps to a lasting, fulfilling life as a stepmom: developing an attitude of self-worth, defining your stepmom role, discovering balanced self-fulfillment, building an unshakeable relationship with your partner, taking back control, and finding a community that truly gets it.

You'll also find:

Strategies to help you recognize your emotional needs and set boundaries Techniques to generate “quick wins” near the beginning of your relationship, including ways to protect your core values and create realistic house rules Insightful discussions of how stepfamilies are different from nuclear families and why they require a different approach

Perfect for new, soon-to-be, and struggling stepmoms looking for support and opportunities to build important skills, Stepmomming Made Easy is also a can't-miss resource for counselors, marriage coaches, partners, and anyone else involved—on a personal or professional level—with a blended family.
