I don't often have guests on the Money and Marriage Podcast, but this week's episode is the exception to the rule. I'm excited to welcome Alicia Krasko to the show. I asked Alicia to be on the podcast both because she is a fantastic resource for families with children from prior marriages, but also because she is exceptionally transparent with some of the financial challenges and hurdles she faced after getting married. If you have stepkids, Alicia will be an invaluable resource for you. If you don't, she has a ton of great insights about navigating family relationship dynamics and financial perspectives as you enter marriage. And be sure to check out my interview with Alicia on her podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/8-talking-financial-planning-with-bill-nelson/id1698216989?i=1000626785436 Alicia's bio: Alicia Krasko is a Stepmom Coach dedicated to helping stepmoms gain confidence and define their role in their blended family. She is the founder of The Stepmom Side Community-a private, off social media community for Stepmoms who are looking for additional support.  Alicia's story goes from a single life to embracing a blended family when she met her husband, who had two children from a previous relationship. Her initial optimism turned into a challenging reality as she grappled with her new role as a stepmom. As an outgoing person, Alicia found herself becoming a shell of her former self, struggling to find her place in this blended family dynamic. The lack of control and feeling like second best weighed heavily on her, causing her to question her marriage and even contemplate leaving. However, Alicia's story is one of resilience and growth. Instead of surrendering to the difficulties, she learned to embrace and work with the challenges, accepting that life wouldn't always be black and white. Through her journey of self-discovery, she transformed into a dedicated stepmom coach, helping others navigate the complexities of step-parenting and finding strength in the process.

In this episode, Alicia talks about  being "just the stepmom" and how society puts pressure on stepmoms to show up in all the ways, but to remember that, as a stepmom, you aren't the kid's mom. She talks about changing your perspective from being "just" the stepmom to "I'm just the stepmom."

What would you give to not have your kids or stepkids argue, fight or resist going to bed every night? I remember when our kids were young, there were times when it seemed to take forever to have them go to bed, let alone fall asleep. Bedtime meant alone time for me and my husband not to mention the health benefits of our kids, making sure they had enough sleep. On Today’s podcast, I’m talking with Brook Packard, a writer, musician and an early childhood educator who created the Sleepytime Club which makes bedtime simple for families, helping parents reclaim their evenings. She believes bedtime is the first, best habit; a moment of grace to us every single night; and that we can change the world for the better by using this time to care for ourselves and our families and communities.  You can learn more about Brook at sleepytimeclub.com.

Do you feel like your stepkids or the ex have done you wrong and you have a hard time letting go? Are you feeling bitter and resentful at how your life is turning out? Maybe it's time to think about forgiveness. Forgiveness is not about letting the others walk all over you, or to let them get away with their bad behaviors or action. For starters, forgiveness is letting go of the pain and sting that the person's actions have done against you. Forgiveness is an act of self love. Forgiving another person is probably one of the hardest things we might ever have to do. If you're in a place where you are tired of feeling the wait of the anger and resentment on your shoulders, this is the show for you.

For many stepmoms, Mother's Day is a difficult day for them. It's a reminder that the man they love has kids with another woman, whom the kids call mom and often want to spend the day with her. Most likely, you do a lot for your stepkids, just like a regular mom. The only difference, is you get not recognition or appreciation for what you provide to the family.  In this podcast, I share my very first Mother's Day as a stepmom and how, with each passing year, my relationship with my stepdaughters got better.  How are you planning on celebrating this Mother's Day? What are some of your challenges and struggles attached to this day? Leave a comment below and I'll gladly respond.

With Lisa Honold and Claudette Chenevert  I’ll admit, I “spied" on our kids while they lived in our home, especially during their teen years. There was nothing fun or exciting about snooping on what our kids did on the internet (which by today's standards would be seen as primitive), going through their stuff to make sure they weren’t doing anything illegal or immoral.  This was one area where my husband and I strongly disagreed on whether it was OK for me to spy on our kids or not. And he’s not the only one. Recently, I asked my Facebook followers if they spied on their kids and the responses were from Absolutely to Never and everything in between.  Now if I changed the word from spying to monitoring, then the response was different. Even my husband was more on board with the thought of monitoring our kids and seeing this as being responsible parents.  So what’s the difference between spying and monitoring? Lisa and I talk about this in our video and what best tools to use to help you monitor your children without being invasive.   Here's the 20% discount for Bark code https://www.bark.us/signup?ref=PS3PQDK About Claudette Claudette Chenevert, known as The Stepmom Coach works with stepmoms who are struggling to create a cohesive family life.

Celebrating all day long the amazing women that help up make a difference in our world, encourage and embrace gender equality, and teach others what that looks like. Here is a video that two of my colleagues and I created, sharing our thoughts and wisdom about what Women's Day means to us. http://empowerthedream.com/intl-womens-day-2018-webinar/ #PressForProgress #IWD2018 #internationalwomensday #stepmom #stepmomcoach “Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses, women for their strengths.”Lois Wyse For far too long, our societies have misappropriately fused sex with gender to the point of creating a hierarchy among the sexes. Boys are disciplined to present themselves as stoic, while girls are to portray themselves as emotional. Because of the association between emotionless and strength, and sensitivity and weakness, society often places men above women. Men are associated with strength, and women with weakness. And this has trickled down to the workforce. sports, schools, among other places. where girls and women alike are not as valued for their worth. It's changing, yes....slowly. How has this impacted our past, our future and what empowering ways can we show up and go forward as a whole society where our girls no longer feel less than?Like this Poscast?

Many stepmoms share they wished they had a better relationship with their stepkids but it's not happening. It can be hard for stepmoms when the stepkids are not interested in creating any type of relationship with them. This can be even more difficult if the stepmom has no support from her spouse or partner. So what's a stepmom to do? In this video, I explains a few reasons your stepkids might not want to bond with you as a stepmom and what you can do to start bridging that gap, one step at a time.

When you awake up in the morning and look in the mirror, do you start pointing out all that is "wrong" with you?  Are you comparing yourself with others, maybe the ex, your friends, co-workers, maybe even your siblings? In this episode, I have a conversation with Sharons ES from Midlife Women Dancing With Change about comparing ourselves to others and what it does to us. We also share our thoughts & suggestions of letting go of the concept of "What's Wrong With Me?"

National Stepfamily Day is Sept 16th and I’d love to talk to you about why it’s important to celebrate this special day and offer suggestions and ideas. Stepfamilies have come a long way since we first merged our families together in 1990. Back then, there was little information about support and advice in how to come together, understanding our roles as stepparents and dealing with exes and stepkids that weren’t welcoming of us. Today with the internet and social media, millions of stepmoms and stepdads around the world can search and reach out to other stepparents to get support and advice. Many have found comfort in knowing they are not alone or going crazy in their stepmom journey. When Christy Tusing Borgeld decided to start National Stepfamily Day in 1997, I don’t think she realized the impact she would have on the people that became stepfamilies.  She helped to bring us out of the shadows and to shine, to show that there are great people that become stepparents every single day. She inspired many, including myself, to promote and become advocates in creating positive images of steprelationships.   About Claudette Claudette Chenevert, known as The Stepmom Coach works with stepmoms who are struggling to create a cohesive family life.

Jennifer Diepstraten interviews Claudette Chenevert, the Stepmom Coach, about the roles and expectations of bringing in a new parent (stepparent) with teenagers and how to navigate the stepmom role.  She addresses questions such as, “What level of parenting or interaction is appropriate for my fiancé to have with my 14-year old son (from a previous relationship)?”  “How do I feel welcome in my home as a new stepmom?” and “Which parent should be the disciplinarian when you have teenagers?”    Claudette shares from her vast knowledge about relationships, communication, and stepparenting to help stepmoms craft a vision of the kind of marriage and family they want to have, so that everyone feels safe in their home, like they belong, and that they have a sense of control.   Enjoy the show!  We would be honored if you would let us know what you think of the show by leaving a five-star review.  For links referenced in the show and to get Claudette's free report, "8 Steps From Conflict to Harmony," visit us at www.familyco.com/009
