Are you a stepmom needing a little bit of encouragement? Do you sometimes feel like you’re in a no-win situation? Do you maybe even wonder if you might have made a mistake? Being a stepmother is one of the hardest roles you can take on. You “play the part” of being a mother: doing the work, and putting in the time but you are rarely if ever, recognized for what you are doing. 
So, what can you do? How do you bridge the gap with these strangers who are now living in your home? How do you build connection, family, and togetherness when there are so many obstacles in your way? My book, 16 Gifts from a Stepmom: Encouragement for the Blended Family Journey, talks about how to do this. The book gives sixteen ways to connect with the new kids in your life, from encouragement to “Daddy Time” to fun. 
In today’s podcast, I talk about my book, “16 Gifts from a Stepmom: Encouragement for the Blended Family Journey.” I go over the chapters of the book and then read the last chapter, called “You are Building a Legacy.” I also talk about the first Happily Ever After Again Podcast Contest.
