Get Happy, Get a Free Book–The Happy Stepmother by Dr. Rachelle Katz

Tell me what makes you happy and win a free copy of this great book

I’m giving away a free, autographed copy of a great book!

My friend and colleague Rachelle Katz, Ed.D, LMFT (that’s licensed marital and family therapist to you and me) is a stepmother and therapist who has been studying and supporting stepmothers for years. She founded stepsforstepmothers.com, a popular website and message board for stepmothers, and she also runs a monthly group for women with stepkids in her Manhattan office. Her book The Happy Stepmother is now available!

I know Rachelle and can vouch that she is, in fact, happy. That’s because she knows how to be a stepmother without going crazy. Rachelle’s book is one of the few research-based, stepmother-centric books out there. And it’s truly a breakthrough because it’s based on her very own comprehensive questionnaires and interviews with 3,500 women with stepchildren. Rachelle spoke to you and women like you to figure out what you want and need in your remarriage or repartership with kids, and how you can get it. Rachelle emphasizes self-care, boundaries, and ways to strengthen your marriage or partnership.

I’m giving away a free, autographed copy of The Happy Stepmother. Just post a comment here on my blog telling me what makes you happy (that gets you thinking, doesn’t it?) I’ll randomly select one commenter to receive Rachelle’s book.
