Step-parenting with Connection and Guest...

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

Parenthood is a challenge enough in itself, but when you throw in becoming a stepparent; it can become a whole new ballpark. The desire to form a genuine bond with their stepchild while also trying not to overstep their boundaries is a balancing act that our guest is familiar with.

Joining me for this episode is Nikki, a stepmom of 10 years, to share with us her experiences and how she managed to navigate what she considered as uncharted territory.

For any struggling or upcoming stepparents, be sure to tune into this episode!

 

Episode Highlights:

  • Nikki’s marriage and becoming a stepmom
  • Her relationship with her stepson
  • Balancing between two sets of parents
  • How she made her stepson feel loved and cared for at home
  • Advice for current and upcoming stepparents 

 

Do you have siblings who fight incessantly? Don’t worry because I’ve been there too. Join me in my live workshop where I’ll teach you everything I've learned and give you all the connection pieces to help foster a more loving and peaceful relationship between your children.
