From Panic to Purpose: Finding Peace in Your Stepmom Role
Worry is universal. But, when it becomes a permanent fixture in your daily life, it leaves little room for joy, fulfillment, and fun. And while it’s no coincidence that stepmoms experience disproportionately high levels of anxiety and depression… most of us underestimate just how much influence we have over our own happiness.
Concealed within the challenges of stepfamily life are real opportunities to create meaningful change for ourselves and our families. In this presentation, Michaela Bucchianeri, PhD will share honest reflections from her own stepmom experience, and translate what mental health research has to say about thriving in this unique role.
This dynamic session will invite your audience to examine their assumptions about “how it has to be” as a stepmom, and empower them to create their own version of happily ever after.
THEY'LL LEARN:
Why anxiety is a challenge for so many stepmoms (and how it shows up differently for us)
3 simple, science-backed strategies for managing recurring stressors and preventing new ones from popping up
How to uncover the secret superpower that’ll bring more peace to their stepmom life… starting today
