When I first became a stepmom, I felt like I struggled to keep my head above water. I was overwhelmed in so many ways, and the more I struggled, the more ashamed of those struggles I became. Stepparenting is genuinely one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life, but with the right skills, I've found lasting peace and happiness in my marriage and family. If I could go back, here are 5 things I'd do now if I became a stepmom today:


  1. Find a stepmom friend
  2. Get to know Krista without being in a parent role
  3. Do the hard work on my second spouse insecurities
  4. Have a conversation with Kevin about expectations and core needs
  5. Start setting boundaries
