Julia Roberts struggled with it in the movie Stepmom. And we all know Cinderella had no fairytale relationship with her stepmother. 

What is all this bad rap about? 

Luckily, we have my positively parental guests, co-parenting coach, Tamar Burris, and author, and divorce-parenting expert, Christina McGhee, to debunk the stigma and negative images around step-parenting. 

In my episode, “Stepmonsters,” we talk about everything that is right about stepping up to this incredible role in a child’s life. I mean,it is actually becoming a “Bonus Parent.” Talk about fresh starts!
