Ep. 21 – Kristen Skiles

Host Robin Bruner kicks off season 3 by welcoming stepmom coach Kristen Skiles, founder of Stepmomming.com, host of Stepmom Made Easy, and author of “Stepmomming Made Easy,” to discuss her work supporting stepmoms worldwide and her upcoming second annual virtual Stepmom Con (April 22–24). Kristen shares her blended-family story, including marrying a single dad, navigating early high-conflict dynamics, and the unusual experience of her husband’s ex-wife and her new husband living with them for three months, which challenged boundaries but helped Kristen release unrealistic expectations and accept she isn’t her stepdaughter’s mom. They talk about adding two sons after a fertility journey, Kristen’s experience as a stepdaughter, why remarriage divorce rates are high, differences for stepmoms partnered with widowers, and what Stepmom Con offers, including expert interviews, live chat, connection hours, and upgrade options. STEPMOMCON:https://stepmomcon.com/?affiliate=llcsoh123 Kristen SkilesEmail:       [email protected]: Stepmomming.comInstagram: Kristen Skiles (@stepmomming)Facebook: Stepmomming Blog   Pintrest:   Stepmomming with Kristen SkilesThreads:   Stepmomming Made EasyBooks:      Stepmomming Made EasyStrategies Everything/ Robin Breuner Email:  [email protected]:  www.robinbreuner.comInstagram: stepstoriespodcastIGFacebook: stepstoriespodcastFBLinkedin:  RobinBreunerLinkINPodcast:  StepStories PodcastThreads:  @robinbreunerYouTube: StepStories PodcastYouTubeTikTok:     www.tiktok.com/@stepstoriespodcast/video/7569378260706938126 Hosted on Acast.
