“Are You Ready To Let Go Of The
Frustration, Doubt, Confusion & Fear
In Your Stepfamily And Replace It With
Loving Honesty, Peace, & Joy?”

“You’re About To Discover The Simple Steps To
Creating Great Relationships With Your Husband,
Children & Stepchildren, Starting Right Now…”

From: Claudette Chenevert,

Dear Stepmom

Whether you’re a new instant mom or a veteran stepmom, raising someone else’s children is never easy. In fact, it’s probably the most difficult job you’ll ever have in your life…

Many remarriages fail within the first 5 to 7 years because it’s just too difficult to handle.

Chances are you have probably thought at one point or another, “If I’d known then what I know now, I would NOT have gotten involved in a step relationship.”

And that can be a really painful thing to admit. It’s almost like saying that if you could turn back time, you would discard your current family and start all over again.

But even though you might think thoughts like this during your darkest moments, throwing away your family isn’t what you really want.

DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

“What’s the Cost Of Doing Nothing?”

If it feels like you’re at your wit’s end, knowing you could have a great relationship if only you had the right tools and skills to help you make it, then you need to ask yourself, “What’s the cost of doing nothing?”

What happens if you don’t change?

Picture your marriage 6 months from now if you don’t do anything differently. Now picture it two years from now. What’s happening? Are you and your husband still together or are you separated or divorced? Are the children still rolling their eyes when they speak to you or are they ignoring you altogether?

And please don’t blame yourself for your current situation…

The problem might be that you’re just “winging it” since you’re venturing into uncharted territory with each and every soccer game, school activity, family get together, and birthday. It’s not like they hand you a manual when you become a stepmom.

And because you have tried your best, you might think to yourself…

All of this may be true, but is it getting you closer to the results you’re looking for?

Probably not.

“Quick Fixes Do NOT Work !”

In fact, the $120 an hour you are paying a counselor or therapist is just for them to listen to you talk once a week. And be honest, do you really feel better after venting a week’s worth of drama and paying someone to listen to you do it? Maybe. Maybe not.

Maybe you thought a good massage would work out all the tension you are holding and then you’d be more calm and not likely to explode at the next conversation or conflict. Massages on the low end may be $65 to $85 an hour, but where I live the cheapest is $85 an hour with a coupon and that’s before the tip. So for $85 you can relax for 1 hour. But all of your problems still await you.

What about YOUR kids? Are they acting out? What is that costing you? Are you missing work to pick them up from school? Do they need counseling sessions now too? Did they break something or steal something that you have to pay back?

What about the medications you are taking to help with your anxiety or depression or both?  Is that really helping you communicate better with your husband?  Does it make your stepchildren listen. NO IT DOES NOT.

I really don’t want to continue this line of thinking but I have been there. There was a time when I was forced to move out of my own house because of extremely stressful conditions and I don’t want that to happen to you!

“Why What Most Stepmoms Do Doesn’t Work” 

If you’re like most stepmoms, you might have read many books and/or participated in dozens of online forums for stepmoms and bonus moms.

These can sometimes be helpful. But have they actually provided you with concrete tools and skills to help you transform your blended family?

What works for one family may not work for yours, and it can actually create more damage.

That’s why following a “cookie cutter” approach is like taking a pain killer for a broken arm…It might make you feel a little better temporarily, but it won’t help mend the damage that’s been done.

And with many of those online forums, conversations can quickly spiral into a whirlpool of constant complaining and negativity without any real, constructive advice.

You mean well and your heart’s in the right place, but just copying what worked for one stepmom isn’t always the right thing to do for your family.

But you know what? It doesn’t have to be all gloom. It is possible to have hope and joy with your stepkids and your partner.  There are simple steps you can take that will help you build and strengthen your stepfamily in no time.

Imagine working with someone who is both a professional coach and a stepmom that’s “been there and done that.” How would it change your family if you could get more than 20 years of research and experience in one simple program?

Let me help you get what you want.  I’m asking you to trust me on this.

Here’s why…

 ”The Day I Hit Rock Bottom…” 

When I first met my husband, I had no idea that he would rock my world in many different ways.  I’d been looking for a partner to share my life with, to share our journey together and I found him. There was just one tiny issue…

He had 2 young daughters.

I didn’t think much of it at first.  I felt they would be great sisters to my son, who was the same age.

I grew up adoring Julie Andrews in “The Sound of Music” and watching “The Brady Bunch” on TV.  They made it all look so simple.  You just get married, bring all the kids together and start singing “Do Re Mi!” all in harmony.

But guess what? There were too many false notes. The song and script fell apart almost from day one.  Nothing was going according to “plan” and everything was off key.

I had to wonder, “What was I doing wrong?”

I felt very much like the outsider within this new family. I had no control over my life and my home.

My husband and I were constantly at odds about how to raise the kids. We became adversaries in our own home.  And we were divided along the biological fault lines.

There was no sense of boundaries within our home. I didn’t know where I ended and where the other started.  I felt as if his kids and his family were more important than me, that I was no longer number one.

I was slowly fading away. And I began to lose my self-esteem. My frustration and pent-up anger became my daily identity.

I finally hit rock bottom.

And I was absolutely miserable.

My husband tried to help but I saw him as the problem rather than the solution. It was because he kept putting his daughters and “his” family first that I became this angry, powerless woman.

The Shift:

One day I suddenly realized that I needed to do something for myself.  I had spent way too much of my life helping everyone and neglecting my own needs and desires and not only was I paying for it, but so was everyone else!

I would take on everyone’s responsibilities, never asking my husband to take charge or asking him for help.

The result? I was both mentally and physically exhausted. And I was resentful. Which meant I probably was not that much fun to be around.

I knew it was time to change this and take back my life.

I finally understood the reality that I had absolutely no control over the actions of anyone else. All I could control was my own actions.

With some carefully laid out strategies, my husband and I began working as a team. I was able to tell him in a way that made my needs clear what I wanted and he was actually happy to help me out.  The more we worked together, the stronger our bond became.

But it also created some challenges with the kids.

Because we now had some clear goals and strategies in place, we were more than ready to take on these challenges.  We understood what each of our roles was in the family and we had a clear set of rules for the home.

It wasn’t always smooth sailing from there, but I’m proud to say that my husband and I renewed our wedding vows on our 20th anniversary with all the kids present along with their own spouses and families.

I have wonderful relationships with both of my stepdaughters and I remember crying the day one of them said to me, “Thank you for always being there for me, even when I wasn’t being so nice.”

When my two stepdaughters got married in 2009, both of them thanked me for all that I had done to keep our family together.

They knew that I was deeply hurt when they told me that they hated me, when they left our home and promised to never come back, to make their father choose between them and me.

But I never gave up.

I had a vision and a dream for this family, something bigger than myself.

I was moved to tears when they both acknowledged me as A mom, not THE mom, but A mom during their wedding.  One of the girls asked that I make a toast to her and her new husband.  For me, that was the highest gift of acknowledgement and recognition I could ever get.

I am now a grandmother to two beautiful grandchildren and I am so glad that I made the changes needed to keep our family thriving.

“You CAN Have An Amazing Family Right Now…”

If this sounds too good to be true, let me assure you, this can happen for you too. I’ve worked with so many women in your situation and have witnessed some amazing transformations.

Because I want to support as many stepmoms as I can, I developed the ”Amazing Stepfamily Makeover Challenge.”

This program is specifically designed to help you and your partner come together and build a solid home for your family.

It all starts with a goal and a vision.  Without that, you have no idea where you’re going.

It’s like driving a car, with the kids in the back seat, while you’re wearing a blindfold.

Pretty scary wouldn’t you say?

The “Amazing Stepfamily Makeover Challenge” is a program for stepmoms who are ready to take the plunge-to remove old layers, peel them away, one by one and go through the experience of the total makeover for yourself, in order to create a better, stronger, healthier family relationship, not only for you, but for future families and children to come.

“Here’s What You’re Going To Discover…”

During the course of our 6 weeks together in the “Amazing Stepfamily Makeover Challenge” you will discover…

• Why it’s important to design and evaluate where your family is going on an ongoing basis
• How to set your home up for success so that it thrives and not merely survives-no more walking on egg shells with the kids
• Exactly what your new role in this family really is so that you can minimize misunderstandings and hurt feelings
• Specifically what you need to do for yourself so that you can support the family without getting lost in the confusion
• Why it’s important to set up your “lifelines” in advance so that you know where you can turn before situations become critical or blow up in your face
• The 5 most important things you need to do so that everyone is happy (and it’s probably not what you think)
• How to create an inspiring vision of what you want in this family so that you reach your goals much faster than you dreamed possible
• Strategies and techniques for “putting your oxygen mask on first” so you can be there for your family members when they need you
• How to talk and communicate with your spouse and the kids so that you don’t feel like you’re nagging
• And much, much more…

My hope is that you’ll begin to look forward to a future filled with possibilities for your entire family, rather than remaining fearful and worried about things that may or may not happen.

This program is part education, part interactive, and all supportive.

You’ll be part of a community of other stepmoms going through similar challenges.

You’ll start to realize that you’re not alone in this, which will give you the power to control and take charge of your circumstances and understand that there are some wonderful outcomes that are possible.
