“Nobody was born knowing how to be a stepmom. It’s a skill you learn, practice and get better at over time!”
Tracy Poizner
I've been around the block...
I'm a mom, a divorced mother, a remarried woman, and a step-parent.
Been there, done that, got the T-shirts — including a few that don't fit like they used to!
What I know now that I didn’t know before is that there's a huge gap between how we think family should work and how it actually works. This gap is where we live as stepmoms, swimming in a soup of invisible expectations.
The modern stepfamily is relatively new to humanity, so we don't have many tools for confidently carving a path forward.
Luckily, I bring over 25 years of experience as a holistic health-care professional to the table. Listening deeply, asking the right questions, and helping people see their situations from a fresh perspective have been at the heart of my work for decades.
Essential Stepmom brings these experiences together.
I'm here to help stepmoms make sense of the complicated business of stepfamily life: to find their place in the family dynamic and develop a sustainable way forward, so they can engage with their partners and stepkids without losing themselves in the process.
I’ve created a community you'll feel good enough to live in — a place where women lift each other up with light-bulb moments, mark the step-parenting potholes they've fallen into so others can avoid them, and find solutions to common problems instead of just describing them.
Welcome to Essential Stepmom, I'm glad you found your way here!
