Episode 141: Podcast #141 – But I’m Not a Wicked Stepmother!
Being a stepparent is HARD.
What can you do as a stepmom, or a friend to a stepmom, to make it less frustrating and bring peace to a blended family?
Erin interviews Kathi and co-author of their new book, But I’m Not a Wicked Stepmother, Carol Boley to discuss what it’s like to be a stepmom. Whether you are a new stepmom, a seasoned bonus mom, or have a friend who is, Kathi and Carol give us some great tips on:
- Keeping a realistic view of what to expect
- What is normal and why you are doing WAY better than you think you are
- How to support a friend in a stepmother role
- Why and how to have a tough skin especially in the first few years
Listen in and share with the ladies you know can hear an encouraging word. But I’m Not a Wicked Stepmother is now available.
