From Chaos to Partnership…

The Transformation Lab is a solution-focused, online course designed to move you forward by enriching your understanding of a healthy step-bio relationship. Class begins Tuesday, June 22nd.

“This is a really interesting walkthrough; a ten-step plan that’s well thought-out and experience-based.

You didn’t invent this problem — you’ve just taken a giant step in resolving it. Divorce drains the joy, drains the energy, drains the peace from these children. …You guys have changed that, and you’re to be commended for that. I think that’s huge.”

(To his guests on the show that weren’t getting along) “I’d like to give y’all a leather-bound copy of this, in the hopes that you might wear it out.”

-Dr. Phil McGraw on The Dr. Phil Show

Unload Your Baggage

My goal is to help you shed what’s standing in your path to peace, not load you up. With concrete action steps to take, story-telling fun, and the support of a community to get you where you want to be, TL takes all the guesswork out of your journey.

Designed to engage natural strengths and be easy to use, TL will provide the tools you need to focus your efforts — with quick, portable methods to ground and balance yourself.

You’ll go from seeing “the enemy” more clearly… to eventually not seeing one at all.

Why make the leap?

Based on new material I’ve learned since co-writing No One’s the Bitch, this course centers around unique material and a perspective you won’t find anywhere else. I’ve done the hard work of sticking my neck out, done the self-analysis, therapy and personal growth, fallen on my face and gotten back up — all so that you can learn from my mistakes — and my successes.

There’s an incredible freedom to be had when you start with yourself first in the face of challenges. Take this brave step and enable yourself to create a solid, grounded core where your self-esteem is no longer at someone else’s mercy.

With the Transformation Lab, you get consistent results

And here’s why:

1. It works with you as the raw material. Progress is independent of the mom’s involvement – or anyone else’s, such as your husband, family, or friends.
2. You will be given the widest perspective on stepmom/mom and stepfamily issues possible. This will enable you to depersonalize hurtful behavior and instantly reframe the conflict.
3. New tools will create clarity in predictable and consistent ways. You’ll learn to separate your problems with the bio-mom and create a plan for the future that works for you. Should you extend yourself yet again or strengthen your boundaries instead? Now you’ll be able to tell without angst.

We’ll be joined best-selling authors/guest experts during exclusive, closed group calls.

This is a special opportunity. Take advantage of their expertise and come away with sanity-saving information to apply to the challenges giving you grief. Here’s the roster:

• Conflict resolution – Lisa McLeod – nationally syndicated columnist and author of the newly-released “The Triangle of Truth“
• The man in the middle – Joel Schwartzberg – author of “The 40-Year-Old Version” and PBS Producer
• Parental alienation – Dr. Ben Garber – author of “Keeping Kids Out of the Middle” and state-certified Guardian ad litem
• The inner world of the stepmom – Wednesday Martin, PhD. – author of the classic, “Stepmonster“
• What’s going on in the mind of the ex-wife – Katherine Doughtie Nolan – former co-blogger for The DHX Exchange (written by a mom and stepmom) and author of “Aphrodite in Jeans”
• Creating connection and balance in your stepfamily – Bernadette Noll of Slow Family Living, as seen on The Today Show and in The New York Times

.

With story-oriented metaphors to illustrate new ideas, we’ll focus on having fun while we learn. Is interacting with the mom similar to climbing a mountain? It is! Use the same techniques that climbers do when they reattempt a route after failing — and discover strengths you didn’t know you had.

Put yourself in the best possible position to take advantage of any opportunities for partnership with the ex-wife — and create new ones.

Others have said…

“My greatest insight was that the “mom” had thoughts and fears I never could have imagined. I gained compassion for the mom and stopped expecting her to accept me and the situation right away. I loved the part about taking personal responsibility for our contribution to the conflict. You forced us to take a look at ourselves and actually named the self-talk that was contributing to the problem. Without naming it, we might just think it’s normal behavior that is justified!”

-Jenna Rogers, stepmom

“When I first was engaged, I read every stepmom book that I could get my hands on. I am a stepmom (childless) and struggled through a very horrific time with my husband’s ex-wife. I felt complete and utter despair. We just really never communicated and she was convinced I wanted to take away her boys. When I first started reading “No One’s the Bitch,” my jaw dropped and my eyes were opened very wide. More and more, I started to put myself in their mom’s shoes as I read. I did keep trying and eventually, there was a breakthrough. We now have a peaceful relationship.”

-Lisa Teal Webb, stepmom

I didn’t really think I needed to read this book, after all, my husband’s ex-wife and I have a fairly decent relationship on the surface. But even with our great relationship, this book has given me my own a-ha moments! No matter how things looked to the outside world, there actually was a silent, undeclared competition going on between me and her. ‘No One’s The Bitch’ helped me see past and through my own uncomfortable feelings of anger, jealousy and insecurity, and reminded me to “own my own crap.”

-Peggy Nolan, The Stepmom’s Toolbox

The natural, human story-telling makes learning come easy. Even in the midst of addressing real issues, it’s entertaining. It doesn’t require that one learn some new system or model of human behavior. It’s self-evident, common sense.

It’s accessible, funny, useful, at times profound…

-Nathan Havlick, MSW, private practice

”People always say they want to “put the kids first” but their actions and attitudes often do the opposite. I love this book because it goes beyond the “idea” of putting kids first and gives very practical “how to” advice on specific steps to take to create a more harmonious relationship that benefits the entire family.

I recommend ‘No One’s the Bitch’ to all of the parents and step-parents I serve. It is ground-breaking work and an absolute must-read for anyone in a mother-stepmother relationship.”

-Amy McCready of Positive Parenting Solutions

“‘No One’s the Bitch’ provides an honest, engaging and powerful method for breaking through the impasse that so commonly occurs between the two homes in stepchildren’s lives.

I just want to tell you that I love your book, I recommend it in my class about “Communicating with the Other Home” in my Creating a Successful Stepfamily Course. I highly encourage all stepmoms and moms who want their children to have an opportunity to grow up with a healthy outlook for their future families to read it!”

-Joan Sarin, Stepmom SOS

“Stepmother and ex-wife relationships are complicated and you acknowledge that.

I consider your book, ‘No One’s the Bitch’ a great contribution to today’s books on stepcoupling and stepfamilies. You address a very difficult subject, which you obviously know a lot about. It shows, as well as your passion.”

-Susan Wisdom, author of Stepcoupling

“’No One’s the Bitch’ forces both moms and stepmoms to take a good long look in the mirror and own up to their thoughts, feelings and actions toward the other woman. Even if she isn’t ready to work together, you will learn a lot about yourself through the exercises.

Open your mind and open your heart to this program and you might be pleasantly surprised at the results!”

-Brenda Tofil-Ockun, Editor of StepMom Magazine

“I tend to be apprehensive about any self-help books. As a therapist, I often find the advice trite. But I found No One’s the Bitch to be refreshingly real and my clients often identify with the stories. It gives us a chance to not only process more deeply, but also laugh about the situation. I absolutely recommend this book to my clients. It’s part of creating a new culture and moves us past resentment into a community of authenticity and compassion. This book is very timely.”

-Rebecca Lincoln, MA, private practice

“I’d read several books about step-parenting, stepmotherhood, the effects of divorce and separation on children, marriage, and the like, but none of my research had given advice on how to develop a healthy relationship with the other woman in my life – the biggest hurdle of all in my opinion!

The witty humor and blunt, non-sugar-coated content (that is by no means overly harsh) is a kick in the pants that’s sure to motivate moms and stepmoms alike to join the same team! I recommend this book to any woman who finds herself in need of straight-forward (no BS here!) advice when it comes to this increasingly common dilemma.”

-Janelle Caminker, stepmom
