Check out our latest coverage from The Huffington Post in an article called "Stepmothers, Mothers, and the 'B' Word" and the longest interview we've done yet — in Austin's own LiveMom, a great resource for local stepmoms and moms!

We'll be taping an extended interview about ex-wife/stepmother issues with Communication 360 early tomorrow morning, so maybe we should start the coffee pot now (and we don't even drink coffee).

The show is hosted by a husband and wife team, Lisa and Phil Mulford, who focus on conflict resolution for tough issues. Phil is a practicing attorney and divorce mediator who has successfully mediated hundreds of divorces. We're looking forward to this, since they've already let us know they want to deal with the more emotional aspects of the mom/stepmom relationship. I'll post a link once the interview is up.

We've got several new projects in the works and would love your feedback about what you'd like to see or any extra-rascal-y questions you'd like to have answered.

Coming up:

• "No One's the Bitch" book-sets, with a book for each of you, and gift card and guidance on a potential card script for the "other woman", inviting her participation
• tele-classes (with Carol and Jennifer) on on how to resolve specific challenges between stepmoms and moms, including free calls
• tele-seminars (with Carol and Jennifer) on how to implement the steps outlined in the book (4- and 10-week series). We will be offering an ongoing 2-for-1 special on these, so bring the mom or stepmom in your life, and one of you is free!
• parenting support in the form of an excellent online curriculum, soon-to-be announced
• one-on-one coaching opportunities

Also, look for a new video series featuring Carol and I in her forested backyard, talking about some of the most frequently-asked questions we get about the book. We taped something last night that was a total blast (lots of mosquito-scratching, very telegenic), but the cicadas were so loud they drowned us out! We'll try again and hopefully upload this week.

I'm also researching online programs for divorce prevention, so if there's anything you'd highly recommend, will you please let me know at marine2marine (at sign) gmail (dot) com? Thanks!
