About this listen

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.

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.

a must read for stepmoms

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.

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.

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!

Great book!

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.

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.

An Amazing book for stepmoms

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.

What a great book
