Publisher's summary
If you are searching for a book to help you through being a stepmother, you're in the right place. As a mother for two amazing stepchildren, I wrote this book to help stepmothers that may be in the same situation I was faced with when I first met my husband, who had two kids of his own.
In this book, you will learn:
- Navigating and understanding family dynamics
- Learning your parenting style
- Knowing your limits
- Communication with your partner and children
- How to have positive conversations
- Finances, getting on the same page
- Common challenges and how to deal with it
- How to deal with a difficult ex
- And much more...
By the time you've finished listening to this guide, you'll have the tools you need to navigate life as a stepmom and face any difficulties with clarity and confidence. Always bear in mind that you are not alone, and that there's no such thing as the perfect parent or stepparent. Try your best, have patience with yourself and others, and you can't go wrong.

Story
Our future selves are obstinate in repeating the same errors every single time. In this book, I will describe elements in ourselves that contribute to what I call the “stupidity factor” of our future selves. I will present tips and techniques that you can use for taming that incorrigible future self to be less…stupid. Because when you realize your future self is still you, you will most likely behave the same way your present self behaves in the future. That’s an advantage because the future self will never magically change or surprise you with new behaviors. That’s a fact!

We have a tendency today to over-parent, micromanage, and underappreciate our adolescents. Dr. John Duffy's The Available Parent is a revolutionary approach to taking care of teens and tweens. The available parent of a teenager is open to discussion, offering advice and solutions but not insisting on them. He allows his child to make some mistakes, setting limits, primarily where health and safety are concerned. He never lectures - he is available but not controlling. He is neither cruel nor dismissive, ever....

Story
Superheroes don't start from glorious beginnings. Their origins are almost always marked by traumatic events that leave them helpless and scared. Batman witnessed his parents' murder. Superman was sent away from his dying planet with no one to guide him as he grew up. Orphaned Catwoman was forced to steal food to survive on the streets of Gotham. What makes these superheroes super is their determination to not be defined by helplessness. They embrace their origins, their flaws, and their mistakes and strive every day to become the best versions of themselves.

A relationship expert and dating columnist shares her counterintuitive approach to lasting love: encouraging women to date their "non-types". After years of dating, many women fall into relationship ruts. As serial daters, they are attracted to the same type of man time and again. Clearly something's not working. But the problem is not that he's just not that into them - the reality is he's just not their type.

a must read for stepmoms
A very frank yet sensitive perspective is offered on step-parenting in this book. I especially liked the chapter on bonding and the advice given there: don't push it and follow the child's guidance. The chapter on taking care of yourself is an excellent reminder of this critical aspect. The author reminds us that although these relationships can be challenging, a loving relationship can be the outcome of being patient and supportive.

An easy book for Stepmoms
A great book to better understand your role and expectation as a stepmom or soon to be. Seldom do you find books that talks about relationships for stepmoms so Im glad to have found this. The narrator was easy to listen to and I found a lot of helpful tips inside.

What a great book
I love the compassion with which this book was written. It's so important to hear the stories of women who have been there! There are lots of things you could stumble over in this journey, but this book will help people avoid quite a few of them. Fantastic narrator too. I enjoyed it.

Relevant for today's Modern Families
This turned into something I wasn't expecting. I really appreciated this book having grown up in a "blended family". I especially liked the focus wasn't on preserving the feelings of the adult but taking a look at how the children fare in the new family dynamics. Totally could have used this book 20-some years ago. Well done, perfect for some reflection especially prior to committing to a relationship with children.

This book makes me confident
I am about to become a new stepmom. I was so nervous because I want to be the best stepmom I can be but didn't know where to start. After listening to this audiobook I feel so much better. I know what to look for with the step kids, their relationships with each other, their mom and dad and how to relate to them and so much more.. I am so happy I found this audiobook. Thank you Vanessa. I know I'll be a better stepmom now.

Great book!
Gave alot of good tips! Great tips on how to get close to your step kids and what to do if they are acting a certain way. I feel like most of us get stressed out with dealing with kids who act up but this book can help how to communicate with them and the partner. Specially now more recently that alot of couples are separating and more kids are having stepmoms and stepdads this book can really help!

Loved This AudioBook!
"Stepmom's Guide: Your Guidebook on How to Navigate Being A Stepmom" was so informative. I believe this book could help anyone with navigating through being a stepmom. I've heard horror stories from friends and thank goodness I didn't have any issues with being a stepmom.
I would recommend this to anyone who is a stepmom or who soon will be. This book will help you travel down that path.

So much Information and straight to the point!
This book fills in and answers all the questions you may have about being or becoming a stepmom. Women today often become stepmoms, but do not know how to act as one in order to get the most out of their kids and family. A lot of information and straight to the point.

An Amazing book for stepmoms
This book is very informative for stepmoms. It prepares the step mom on what to do when you have fallen in love with a man who has children. Usually because of love women are shortsighted of the expectation that comes with being a step mom. In order not to be overwhelmed every step mom need to have this guide handy.
