Coaching & support for step parents

becoming a step parent is exciting, courageous, complex and at times, lonely. THERE IS NO RULE BOOK.

I help step-parents or soon-to-be step-parents embrace their role with open eyes and an open heart so they can be in-control and empowered as a fundamental member of their family.

I believe that the role of a step parent deserves to be elevated, supported and celebrated.

At the time, I was managing a team of 180 people with relative ease, so how could navigating this family of four be so hard?

Eight years into my step parenting journey, my experience couldn't be more different. My family has found our groove, and I am comfortable in my role and in my home. I have healthy relationships with my own child and my stepchildren, my partner and I are strong, and I have a good relationship with my partner’s ex-wife. I don't dance in the shadows anymore - to my teenage stepsons’ horror - I dance in the kitchen!

The Step Parenting Collective was born out of my passion to help my fellow step parents cut through the complexity, find harmony and alignment and create a positive and empowered step parenting experience. Step parents and soon-to-be step parents need support and a place to be heard, seen, and championed, and I want to help.

If you are ready to transform your step parenting journey, please get in touch.

You must understand your landscape before you can navigate it

Over 6 one-to-one sessions, we will work together to understand your personal step-parenting landscape. After each session, you will have a better understanding of where you are in your journey, what your needs are, and how to make tangible improvements in your relationships and family dynamics that will work for everyone (especially you!). From our work, you will have an unparalleled awareness of how you can create a happy and harmonious environment that everyone can call home.

    • - We assess your step parenting journey and identify your needs and your goals (personal, family and relationship) so that you can take control and be empowered in your situation.

    • We examine who you want to be as a step parent so that you have a clear vision of your role, can align this vision with your partner and take steps towards it immediately.

    • We address areas of anxiety and stress, identify root causes and create boundaries so that you walk away with a strategy for greater confidence, control and less overwhelm. When you set and stick to your boundaries, you are setting a powerful example to your partner and your children.

    • We look at your partnership and how it is supporting you and your family so that we can identify areas of strength and opportunity for growth.

    • We examine empowered communication strategies, so that you can maintain positive, respectful relationships with your children and partner alike, regardless of the situation.

    • We explore your needs in your relationship so that you, along with your partner, are set up for success in your step parenting journey.

    • We replace ambiguity with proactivity by looking at tools to support the individual needs of your family so that you know the concrete steps you need to take to create a harmonious environment.

    • We look practically at how you can unite your family in a way that is authentic to you and your partner while maintaining your boundaries.

By the end of our work, you will have the perspective, tools, and strength you need to feel more confident, comfortable, and purposeful in your role as a step-parent. You will be clear on your needs and know how to articulate them. You will experience a sense of ease in your home, more authentic relationships, and be better equipped to manage the ups and downs of your unique family life.

You will transition from asking "How did I end up here?" to confidently declaring "This is where I belong."
