Why Stepfamily Coaching?

If there is any part of you that wonders if stepmom or stepfamily coaching is the best next step, I understand because I’ve been there.

Have you ever felt alone in your role as stepmom, stepdad, or biological parent in a stepfamily and wondered if what you feel is normal?

When things were especially bleak for me in my stepmom journey, just knowing that someone cared about my situation, and who was willing to listen and offer some encouragement and advice, meant the world to me.

It also helped me be who I am today: a happy, fulfilled stepmom — not a bitter stepmom — who loves helping YOU find practical tools to thrive in your stepfamily.

I’ve been where you are.

You’re not alone in feeling the way you do, and you certainly don’t need to go through your experience alone, either!

Stepfamily life coaching might be exactly what you need to bring clarity and understanding to your situation, and offer new perspectives, ideas, and strategies to implement positive changes.

Many traditional therapists do not have the training or life experience needed to adequately understand or help a struggling stepfamily. A stepfamily life coach understands the struggles because he or she has lived through it.

I am a recognized Smart Stepfamily provider and have completed advanced training in stepfamily therapy with Ron Deal.

In your stepmom coaching sessions, I will assess your situation and offer helpful perspectives and practical tools and goals to start making your day-to-day life at home more pleasant and manageable!

Topics of focus during stepfamily coaching could include:

  • Toddler behaviors
  • Teenage stepkids
  • The needy stepchild
  • Communication issues
  • Bonding with a difficult stepchild
  • Unfair treatment of kids in the home
  • Co-parenting with a difficult bio mom
  • Discipline differences and challenges
  • Stepmom feelings of loneliness and isolation
  • Maintaining household rules and expectations
  • Feelings of resentment surrounding adding an “ours baby”

My pledge to you as a stepfamily coach

If you have read any of my blog posts, my Stepmom Magazine articles, or you’ve heard me speak on a podcast and there has been something that has resonated inside you, I invite you to seek out a free consultation or initial 60-min. coaching session with me. I do faith-based and non-faith-based coaching based on your preference.

We will explore areas that are confusing or frustrating in your stepfamily and work toward creating an action plan for resolution and healing. Finally, if I feel I cannot give you the proper care or guidance you need, I will help point you to someone who can.

“I just finished group coaching with Heidi. It was so wonderful! I looked forward every week to talking and listening and learning from her and the others in our group! She’s a friend, mentor, and a Christian example of how to live mindfully and have a better step mom life. I recommend this highly! Thank you, Heidi, for all you taught me!“
