Are You Having a Stepmom Identity Crisis? 3 Tips on How to Survive Second Wife Syndrome for Good.  

Shortly after a difficult resign-firing in 2014, my hunka-hunka and I, then dating, were sharing a glass of pinot on a teeny tiny balcony overlooking a busy part of a Houston downtown neighborhood.  Sidebar story - After being wined and dined for almost two years, I said yes to a job 900 miles south because I sensed God’s leading me there. 

The timing was off...but I figured I was right to go.  Bill and I had gotten serious quickly, but deep down, even though I knew he was the man I was to marry, I was afraid.  Let me articulate that differently.  I remember specifically saying to Bill quite confidently, "I don’t want to hurt you, but I want to push you away kind of thing" and “I don’t want to need you,” (or anybody else for that matter). 

Long after the fact I realized the leading was a teaching time lean into God instead of lean into the power of Jen. 

Can you relate?  Is there a time when you’ve declared your need for NOT needing someone? 

Listen in for 3 tips on Surviving and what to do to keep the momentum going as you implement these strategies for Smart Stepmoms.
