Welcome to today’s episode! I’m so excited to introduce you to my personal coach, Claudette Chenevert, who is also known as The Stepmom Coach. Claudette is a Master Stepfamily Relationship Coach with over 35 years of experience helping stepmothers and their partners build stronger, healthier stepfamilies—one STEP at a time.
In addition to her coaching work, Claudette holds a degree in the Psychology of Communication and specializes in stepfamily dynamics and conflict resolution. She’s also the host of the annual Stepfamily Summit, which has been running since 2020, creating a much-needed space for stepfamilies to find connection, support, and guidance.
I first came to Claudette for support in navigating my role as a stepmom in a way that felt authentic to me. Instead of trying to force myself into stepmom stereotypes that didn’t fit, Claudette helped me trust myself and carve out a role that works for my unique situation.
While her work is focused on step-parents, Claudette’s insights on self-trust, communication, and navigating complex family systems are truly universal. In this conversation, we explore themes that will resonate with anyone who’s looking to create stronger relationships or move through life with more confidence and authenticity.
Let’s dive in! Here’s my conversation with Claudette Chenevert.
