It's been said that being a Stepmom is like setting your hair on fire and trying to put it out with a hammer!  

The reality for many stepmoms is a regular sense of rejection, pressure, disrespect, or even slander.  It can be a struggle to hold onto their own identity — to find their place and their purpose as the family "blends".

A stepmom's pain, confusion, and disappointment might feel overwhelming and can keep them stuck in survival mode.  

But there's always hope!

In this episode, our friends Brenda, Tiffany, and Stacy candidly share all the ups and downs they've experienced as seasoned stepmoms.

Brenda is a Stepmom, Life Coach, Author, and International Speaker who is passionate about helping marriages and families flourish, especially in the context of blended families.  She and her husband founded the ministry "Restored and Remarried" where they provide encouragement and hope to couples in stepfamilies.  

Tiffany and Bryan married and began their blending journey almost 10 years ago.  Bryan entered the marriage with 2 kids, (currently ages 17 and 19).  Tiffany has 1 biological child that she placed for adoption at birth who is now reconnected and very much a part of the family.  Tiffany leads a small group for stepmoms, and together with Bryan supplements pre-marriage mentoring for couples preparing to blend.

Stacy has been married to Rich for almost 9 years and is a stepmom to 4 amazing young women.  She does not want others to feel alone on their blending journey and is passionate about loving and encouraging other stepmoms and blended family couples.

Each of these courageous stepmoms has struggled through difficult seasons but has stayed the course.  They've decided not to settle for just surviving, but chosen to learn how they can truly thrive in their blended families!  

You won't want to miss the valuable lessons these three triumphant stepmoms have learned along the way.
