    114. The Three Stages of Respect Every Stepmom Needs to Know About!

    This episode began life as a livestream in my free Facebook community of 1400 members, The Essential Stepmom. If you're not already there, please join us! https://www.facebook.com/groups/theessentialstepmom If there are any top takeaways from this episode, it would be these: 1. You can arrange your household and family dynamics to make it more conducive to you getting the respect you want. 2. If you're feeling disrespected, you probably need to bite the bullet and look to your partner to fill that need. 3. If you want to fix this problem so that you never feel disrespected again, in any situation, there's only one thing to be done. If you're ready for high-level support getting solid with #3, you know where to find me - info@essentialstepmom.com.

    113. Feelings of Worthlessness And How To Bust Them.

    Feelings of worthlessness seemingly arise for stepmoms from the daily realities of life - no established place inside the family dynamic, giving up much of your time and privacy within your home, not being appreciated for many of the things you do for the stepkids and not knowing how to address parenting issues with your partner. But what if you've unconsiously moved toward situations in life that would act to confirm the way you already feel inside? In this episode I talk about how the step-parenting journey can be seen as a prompt to upgrade yourself and your self-concept as a human being. It's time to claim your value, don't wait for anyone else to give it to you.

    112. Tammy Cohen: Text Messages To My Sons

    Tammy Cohen, brand messaging consultant and founder of the Women Beyond the Table Business Network is the author of Text Messages To My Kids, a book brimming with inspiration for how you (or your partner) can begin, renew or truly uplevel your connection with kids - especially those who don't live with you or who are in a phase of life where they don't seem open to hearing from you. By going where they are - ie., on their phones - you can meet them in familiar territory and get their attention in a new way. In our conversation, I highlight 10 different strategies Tammy used that any dad (or stepmom) can copy or adapt to suit their own family situation and fill a communication gap with love, attention, security and trust. Text Messages To My Sons: Connecting Deeply In A World of Devices is a BookFest award winner and Next Generation Indie Book Awards finalist. It's a must read for anyone looking to build a deeper connection with their loved ones!

    109. Nail your timing.

    OK, this is a bit of a weird episode - it's actually the audio from a livestream video I did in my Spectacular Stepmom Facebook group. I'm talking about how to get better at knowing exactly when to say your peace and when to hold back - when to act and when to wait. This is all about the shadow and power archetypes, and about the real difference between logic and magic.
