105. From Bathroom Floor To Breakthrough: The Lifeline That's Helped Thousands of Stepmoms

“You don’t have to do this alone. You don’t have to guess, or feel guilty. You just have to say yes to support that actually gets it.”

Ever feel like you’re walking on eggshells in your own home? Like no one truly sees how hard you’re working to hold it all together?

In this powerful mini episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why the FREE annual Stepmom Summit (coming up September 4-6th) has become a lifeline for thousands of stepmoms around the world - and why it might be exactly what you’ve been needing, too.

I share my own raw and real moments (yes, including the one where my stepson called 911 on me), and why this annual virtual gathering is more than just a few Zoom sessions—it’s a community, a permission slip, and a freaking game-changer.

Plus, get a sneak peek at the surprises in store at this year’s event (hint: you're going to get to ask all of our speakers your most burning questions in real-time) - along with our jaw-dropping speaker lineup!

We'll discuss:

• Why even “strong” stepmoms need safe spaces

• The shift from isolation to belonging (with real stories from past attendees)

• How the summit is going 100% live this year - and why that changes everything

Featured Speakers Sneak Peek:

• Eve Rodsky – on burnout, boundaries, and reclaiming your joy

• Terri Cole – setting unapologetic boundaries

• Patricia Papernow - the globally-recognized top stepfamily expert in the field

• Samantha Boss – parenting plans during high conflict

• Kristin Cogan - mindfulness in the midst of chaos

• Jessica Frew, Alicia Krasko, and even a lawyer from the Real Housewives 👀

• Plus: top therapists, experts, coaches, and a panel of top researchers led by Emmy-winning journalist Jamie Yuccas
