During this training, I’m going to show you:
- A next-level mindset shift that instantly made me happier, no matter how much shhh was hitting the fan in my stepfamily. If you’re listening to this podcast, that probably means that you want to feel valued, respected, peaceful, and confident as a stepmom. Learning this mindset shift is so crucial to making that happen for you.
- I’ll also show you the exact process I personally used to save my marriage (and my sanity), that didn’t involve becoming a doormat in my house, Facebook stalking my husband’s ex-wife, or resenting my stepson. (The best part -- it also didn’t involve leaving my house to drive downtown to my therapist’s office.)
- And finally, a feeling that’s worth more than 1) and 2) combined -- and that’s having peace of mind as a second wife and stepmom. Even better still is actually enjoying my home life again, because the way I was (barely) surviving before following this process made me feel frustrated, desperate, and embarrassed while I spiralled toward divorce.
This free, online training is happening really soon, and seats are limited so make sure to get on the waitlist ASAP.
