Searching for happiness is that age old journey.  I want to be happy.  That is all that I ask.  I only want my children to be happy.  I want a happy marriage.  The true solution to being happy is not what you think.  As I may have shared, I am a businesswoman as well as a stepmom, mom, friend, sister, wife, etc., etc.  As a businesswoman, I train salespeople.  In my last round of classes, I was grateful to have the opportunity to teach from Shawn Achor's best selling book, The Happiness Advantage.  In this show, I'll review some basic concepts and it will probably change the way you look at life.

Sometimes I wonder if we are all looking to make this huge impact on our families on a day to day, minute by minute basis. 24 hours a day/7 days a week.  Our measurement of accomplishment seems to be never ending.  A clean house.  Obedient children.  Control over our lives.  It’s as if we are looking to win. 

When you truly think about it, we are looking to have influence.  In today's show, I give you the secret to having MASSIVE INFLUENCE.  This may change your life.

When I surveyed the stepmothers who follow The Evil Stepmother Speaks, they said that their #1 concern is dealing with the ex.  Other coaches as well as publications will tell you the same thing.  So, I ask you, can you ever have too many tips on this subject?  Probably not.  This show is a quick one with 3 quick tips that I hope will change your stepfamily life.  Who knows?  Maybe, one of these tips is something that you never thought of and could change your entire attitude!

Where do I draw the line?  Sometimes, I feel as if I just don't have any lines or boundaries.  The gift of learning how to say 'no' and understanding how we fit into our family's lives is the subject of today's 'Evil Stepmother' tip.  Creating boundaries may be the greatest gift we give ourselves and our families.

What??? Step Parenting addicting?  No way. 

I can make the case that we get addicted to our situation, which may only make it more difficult to make the changes that we want in our lives.  I know it's a weird concept, but let's discuss and just make sure that we aren't in this quandry.
