Being a stepmom has been one of the hardest things I've done in my life. It's not an easy job and can feel so powerless at times. Which is why I wanted to bring ChaVonne Sampson on the show today. She helps stepparents looking to resolve blended family conflicts. She works with stepmoms that are frustrated from dealing with issues like their spouse’s co-parenting dilemmas, or are struggling with forming respectful/loving relationships with step kids. She helps foster relationships, knows how it feels to be guilty or feel selfish when setting necessary boundaries and household rules. In this episode, she gives some amazing power tips teaching you that you are not an evil stepmother, but that you have the power to love, strengthen, and influence your blended family.
