Today Brooke speaks with fellow Stepmom, Amelia. Along with being a certified stepfamily coach, Amelia is also a {second} wife, mother of two and stepmom of one. She and her husband have been together 12 years, married for 7. They each brought a daughter into the relationship and added their "ours" baby to the mix 8 years ago. Amelia is also a child of divorce; growing up in a single parent home and had two half siblings that lived in the other parents home. Along with her specialized education, Amelia's biggest asset to coaching is that she has lived through multiple stepfamily situations throughout her life, giving her many different perspectives when assisting clients. After struggling with happiness and peace in her own stepfamily: overcoming jealousy, insecurity in her role as a second wife/stepmom, loneliness, frustration, hurt, grief and resentment, Amelia was eventually able to overcome those obstacles. Having a lifelong passion for helping others led her to become a certified stepfamily coach where her goal is to assist her clients in learning how to cope with and overcome their unique stepfamily challenges.Links:IG: @amelia.lane.stepparentcoach website: theartofblendedchaos.comRead more on this topic and more on The Struggling Stepmom Blog!Join Brooke and other stepmoms in this exclusive community hosted by Jamie Scrimgeour.Want to chat One-on-One?
