What do Stepmoms say about the Stepmoms Inner Circle?

The first phone meeting was great!

I was skeptical as to how this could work - as I've tried an awful lot of ways to feel better about my stepmother role - but it did. I was also worried that it might be kind of uncomfortable, but Jayna made me feel at ease.

 I have to say, I got off the phone with some hope and a sense that this really might all be ok in the end - and great tools to get there. Plus the resources Jayna gave us are fantastic!!! Thanks Jayna!

"It's amazing to me - and quite like a gift -

that the inspirations seem to come when I need them the most.

They are very assuring and comforting. "

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for a great call Jayna!

It is really helpful knowing there is someone else out there in a similar situation ...

I found it most helpful to hear that you too have been here.

I tell myself to be gentle on myself and hearing it reiterated through you, confirmation and acknowledgement of these feelings by someone else is extremely helpful!!!

The Stepmoms Inner Circle…

Learn what you need to know,

and be surrounded by other stepmoms who truly care.

It’s time you had someone giving back to you.

Time to get what YOU need…

Dear Wonderful Stepmom:

Who would’ve thought that being a stepmom could be so hard and complicated? 

Where did all these problems come from?

Are you like so many stepmoms who are: 

• Feeling overwhelmed and under-supported?

• Desperately wanting to feel better about their role, but don’t know what to do?

• Hating that feeling of constantly “dumping” to friends and family?

• Feeling like they’re being blamed for things that aren’t their fault?

• Taking care of stepchildren and resenting it?

• Needing their husband/partner to “step up” with his children, but unable to do anything about it?

While it may feel strange and complicated now, you can get through  

this time, and end up in a happy partnership or marriage and loving

family. 

You may not realize this but ALL stepfamilies go through difficulties...

Dr. James Bray, author of the book, "Step Families" says:

The first twenty-four months of stepfamily life is the hardest...even in stepfamilies that later become very harmonious and loving.

High stress, disillusion, conflict and internal division are experienced by all new stepfamilies in this stage. 

A stepfamily can heal the scars of divorce.  A strong stable stepfamily is as capable of nurturing healthy development as a nuclear family.

In a stepfamily couple, marital satisfaction starts out at a medium level rather than high as in a typical first marriage.  But in typical first marriages, it continues to decline.  In a stepfamily marriage, marital satisfaction starts at a medium level, but then climbs through the years. 

I would’ve given anything to have known other stepmoms,

and to have had a guide to show me the way.

 I was so tired

of wishing, wanting and worrying about my stepfamily. 

Sound familiar?

When I look back on how my life looked when I first became a stepmom, I can’t believe the

change:

You see, for years I was in the middle of a crazy cyclone of extended step-family stuff, including my husband, my children, my stepchildren, my husband’s ex-wife, my ex-husband’s wife, my ex-husband’s wife’s family, my husband’s ex-wife’s new husband’s family...  Whew, can you see why I was going crazy?

I sometimes became the bad guy for caring too much, speaking up, or trying to help make it better.  In fact, it seemed that no matter what I did... I was the SAFE person for everyone to blame everything on.

All that stress was truly taking its toll on me and my peace of mind

(okay, what peace of mind??!!).

There just had to be a better way… and there was.

I learned over the course of several years (and after hitting a certain number of brick walls), what to do and how to be a satisfied stepmom, happy wife and healthy person.  I searched and researched, consulted tons of experts, and discovered there were effective and practical tools that worked for me. 

I’ve taught myself as well as many others how to harness specific strategies, practical skills and real life tools that work!  And you can learn too (without wasting the time and making the costly mistakes that I did).

With the RIGHT support,

the RIGHT education,

and the RIGHT strategies,

you’ll immediately notice differences in yourself,

with your partner, and with your family.

As a new step-mom of two children, many questions come up.  Will my step-children respect me?  

Will my husband support me when things get difficult with the kids?  How, or should I, discipline them?  

How will step-children affect my relationship with my husband? 

 None of these questions are easy but I take comfort that many other women have the same questions.  

When my step-children began to live with me and my husband full-time, Jayna was a sympathetic

listener and provided solid advice, especially when times were most stressful.

Questions for step-mothers are hard but Jayna can provide some needed help.

Every week, I get emails and phone calls from stepmoms just like you who want and need

answers and strategies for their role as a stepmom.  They’re more than ready to learn new

ways of managing, if they only knew how…

I can help show you how to manage your frustration and overwhelm and become a calm and

centered stepmom…

The Stepmoms Inner Circle

will give you the understanding, empathy,

guidance, and confidentiality you so richly deserve

• You feel good about what you are contributing.  Your role in your family is clear to you.

• You and your husband are on the same team and work together instead of against each other.

• You know how to manage your reactions so they “serve” you, and you know how to handle your anxiety when it flares up.

• It doesn’t matter what’s going on in your life, you know that you have everything you need to take care of it.

• You’ve figured out what works with your stepchildren, and how to support them at different ages (even if they’re teenagers). 

• You’ve learned simple secrets to manage all the different expectations and people in your life.

• You know what to do when you get stuck, and who to go to when you need help and support.   

Jayna's help has been "very specific" to my need as a stepmom.  Not only has she been good

at listening, her actual experience of being a stepmom herself, enables her to understand and

help with solutions that someone who has not experienced the "step-family" life might not be 

able to relate to. 

Prior to my marriage, I thought a lot of this was "worked out" but found out that was not true. 

The step-family life is always "evolving" when new people are added to families and when things

in the home are changing, which brings up new dynamics...

Jayna's experience in her family, is most beneficial to one seeking support and understanding. 

Sometimes the emotions I have felt haven’t always "felt good" but she has been able to relate

and assure me this is "normal", as well as helping me see other perspectives.  When I have felt

"inadequate" and "judged" for what I feel, she can relate and put my thoughts and fears in

a different direction.  She is a great resource to any stepfamily.

You CAN survive and even thrive in your stepfamily -

no matter what the situation is!

You’ll be able to celebrate results like these:

• Feel confident in your role as stepmom and how you can be successful

• Stop “spinning” and worrying when you get upset, and start knowing what to do

• Have continued and confidential support from a caring coach and like-minded stepmoms rather than feeling isolated and alone

• Be on the inside (rather than the outside) of a group of people who understand and need no explanation, rather than having to constantly repeat your dramas to your friends or apologize to family members for “dumping” on them

• Be able to analyze and change your thoughts and behavior so you no longer act and react in ways that hurt you or cause you to be blamed

• Understand simple strategies and specific tools that help you stay out of the drama  of people in or related to your stepfamily

• Enjoy improved communication with your husband/partner and stepchildren, even when you don’t always agree with each other

• Feel calm and centered (rather than crazed and frustrated)

• Be supported when you need to talk it out or feel stuck

• Know simple daily practices and effective tools that will make a huge difference in the quality of your life - no matter how crazy it is

• Enjoy the relief of knowing that you have all the power to affect your own life, rather than holding onto all that frustration, anger, and judgment

After talking through my situation with you and fellow stepmothers, I felt relieved

in that it is okay for me to not feel guilty in creating boundaries in my home and

that I am not responsible for my husband's happiness with his child.  I also learned

to disengage and not feel guilty about the consequences.  I also feel much happier

in my home and especially in my relationship with my husband.

Considering joining the Stepmoms Inner Circle?

You are a great candidate if you:

• Are ready to make changes that will “serve” you and your family in a big way

• Would prefer to learn new skills and tools, rather than just keep waiting for things to get better while you are struggling

• Are committed to your partner

• Want to have a better relationship with your stepchildren

• Are willing to take action when you know what to do

Questions?

I'm not married but my partner and I are thinking about living together or getting married. Can I be in this program?

I’m not sure I want to share with other people. I’m a private person.

Don’t worry, you don’t have to. Some people will want to talk more than others.  That’s okay.  You may just want to receive the information and be a part of the group. That’s just fine.  You give a lot to your family; it’s okay just to receive.  Plus there will be opportunities at the end of the Q and A Call for short and private one-on-one coaching.

How can this help me when I already feel overwhelmed?

There’s something about being part of a group that gives you a new sense of peace and hope.  And you’ll learn tools, ideas and guidance that will help you with that overwhelm. 

I’m so busy. How will I fit this in?

This program is carefully designed for busy stepmoms.  You can listen to everything you receive whenever it suits you, when you have time. Or you can simply choose to peridically check the Stepmoms Inner Circle page on our website, and find what you need.

How long is the commitment?

You and I know that miracles don’t happen overnight, but I do not require a commitment.  I am suggesting that you plan on being a member of the Stepmoms Inner Circle with me as your coach for at least 6 months. This is not a requirement - just my recommendation to see the critical results I know you’re hungry for.  Of course, you can quit the Stepmoms Circle at any time.  When you think about how important it is to you (and how hard you’ve been trying), 6 months is right around the corner…

You can choose

to completely change your life.

Connect with other stepmoms

and learn what you

need to know to be content and centered as a stepmom….

Or you can choose

to keep worrying and struggling and feeling like no

one understands you…

I hope you’ll choose to get the support and receive the hope and encouragement that

will make your journey soooooooooooooooo much easier.

(Not to mention how much better your relationships will be when your partner starts seeing the positive changes in you!)
