Did you know there's a National Stepfamily Day?
Let’s celebrate the love, effort, and growth it takes to build a blended family.
I share practical (and fun!) ways to connect—plus a few stories from my own journey.

Stepmoms get all the expectations and none of the rulebooks.
Here’s yours:
– Don’t try to replace her.
– Set boundaries twice.
– Put yourself on the damn list.

Not all dads are with their kids today.
Some are present in hugs and stories. Others in memory and hope.
All deserve to be honored.

Stepmom truth: You’re expected to be “like a mom,” but also “not the mom.”
No wonder it feels like emotional limbo.

✨ Being a stepmom is part of who you are—
Not all of who you are.
In the June issue of StepMom Magazine, I share how I began untangling my worth from others’ expectations and stepped into a deeper understanding of myself.

“I kept wondering: Am I doing enough? Am I enough?”

Stepmotherhood takes grit, grace, and a heck of a lot of resilience.
If you're feeling angry, frustrated, or just plain lost—you’re not alone. The emotional complexity is real.
Let’s stop pretending we’ve got it all handled. Let’s talk about coping strategies that *actually* help.

Hey June—be gentle.
Stepmoms are out here juggling a lot.
So this month, we’re calling in clarity, boundaries, and small moments of joy.
If no one’s told you lately:
You’re doing better than you think.

Self-abandonment doesn’t look dramatic.
It looks like:
- “I’m fine” when you’re not
- Saying yes when you mean no
- Making excuses for everyone but yourself
You deserve better than betrayal—from *you*.

👀 If I had a dollar for every time someone said:
"You knew what you signed up for..."
I'd at least be paid for all this emotional labor.
But I didn’t sign up to be a referee. A therapist. Or a peacekeeper with no peace of my own.
Being a stepmom is hard.
