Have a listen, post a comment
Here’s a link to a
radio interview I recently did with stepfamily therapist Mary Kelly-Williams, M.A. of marriedwithbaggage.com on her Blog Talk Radio show. We discussed childless and childfree women with stepchildren, their particular issues and challenges. Hope you will have a listen! Separately, blogger Kim Cottrell wonders “What to call us? Childfree sounds egocentric, childless sounds deprived.” What do you think? Do we need a new term?

Nothing a little tea and social support can't fix..
Deesha Philyaw, co-founder with her ex-husband Mike of coparenting101.com, recently interviewed me, and then conducted a
stepmom roundtable discussion with some of the stepfamily bloggers you may know and love, including Heather Hetchler of CafeSmom.com and Bridgett Lemos-Norman of In the Blender. I sound a lot like Minnie Mouse in the interview–what’s new? can I have a voice coach, please?–but I think you’ll really like hearing these other women talk about their lives married to men with children!

Talkin' About a Stepfamily Revolution
I recently sat down to be interviewed by Giselle Minoli of the Examiner, New York. Turns out Giselle, a stepmother herself, is interested in a stepmother revolution of sorts. We discussed stepmothering in context–social, political, economic–and imagined ways to make life easier for stepfamilies in general and women with stepchildren in particular. Hope you will have a look at our
four-part interview and let me know your thoughts: what would a healthy, emancipated stepfamily look like?

Does this symbol scare you?
Ah, that hot, vexed topic: money. Divvying it up can be tricky in any partnership. Now throw in some kids from a previous marriage, and it becomes more complicated still. Merged? Partially merged? Totally separate bank accounts? Peggy Nolan and Erin Erickson tackle this topic with their guest Kat Nelson-Reid, a stepmom and financial planner, on tonight’s Stepmom’s Toolbox Radio Show at 8 pm EST. To tune in, click on this link:

You can also check out the interview I did with Erin and Peggy a few months ago.
Happy listening.

Not just another pretty face--Susan Swanson really gets it
Sure, it’s a long holiday weekend. BBQs, fireworks…and for some of us in stepfamilies, stress. “Coming together” can be fraught when it’s a yours, mine, and ours situation as in a remarriage or repartnership with kids. That’s why
Susan Swanson’s Monday July 5 radio show is so timely. Check out the list of upcoming shows too. Susan is the founder of the Stepfamily Center of Los Angeles, a gifted and experienced therapist–and has walked the stepmother walk!
