    109. Nail your timing.

    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.

    I offer a unique style of coaching for couples where you work with me individually on alternating weeks. Email me for more information at info@essentialstepmom.com

I Am Sane Because of This Podcast

My goodness, I love this podcast. It offers the best, most down to earth, calmest and kindest advice, validation, and general discussion about what it is like to be a step parent. I always feel better after I listen to an episode, and even more than that, I have a clear idea of what I think my role is, what I want to do, and how I want to be involved, or not involved, in the raising of this family I fell into. If you are feeling overwhelmed or in over your head with stepparenting, let this podcast make you sane again.

Looking for more

Listened to one episode. Looking for guidance with a teenage step daughter. The one podcast I listened to focused on that topic focused on weird jealousy m, which. Isn’t everyone’s issue and was uncomfortable and sad that not more information was shared on that topic. I’m looking for support from dad to follow thru and create boundaries and back me up on rules and being respected. I’ve been in the family for 7 years and since day one was encouraging dad to spend one on one time with each child. Would like to hear more about dynamics of step parents and teens that isn’t focused on jealously.
