The Mom / Stepmom Relationship

Feb 8, 2011 by Peggy Nolan

Did you miss last night’s show with Jennifer Newcomb Marine?

That’s ok – you can still listen to it! Or just click on the player widget over to your right…see it? Good!

We had so much fun on the air last night! Brenda Ockun stopped by to dish on February’s issue of StepMom Magazine, which is full of great articles on step teens and step adult children…plus there’s part two of my 12 part series, Remodel Your Life From the Inside Out. And double bonus – our own Teresa Thompson makes her debut in StepMom with her fabulous article, GLUE.

Our conversation with Jennifer was fabulous! Listen in and learn important tools, like “own your own crap” and when to do Erin Erickson’s ”Stepmom Step Back.” Listen in to two great caller comments, one stepmom from Albuquerque called in to say how much Jennifer’s book has helped her work through some of her own issues. And another caller, Karen from Indiana called in with a fabulous comment based on her own experience. In Live Chat, ehuse asked if the same “rules” applied to custodial stepmoms – you want to hear Jennifer’s response!

By the way, I ended up talking to Karen from Indiana for nearly two hours after the show! Good golly, she’s hysterically funny! I’m pretty sure we’ll be seeing a guest blog from her real soon!

Find Your Balance – I talk to a lot of stepmoms. I hear from a lot of stepmoms. One of the biggest complaints I hear is this sense of overwhelm and “what about me?” Teresa and I designed this class for stepmoms struggling with life in the blender. Are you ready to learn a different way? One that doesn’t require all that struggle? Head on over to Stepmom University and sign up! The forum is live and I’ll send you the course materials. We’re here to help YOU!
