Join us for our most vulnerable episode to date, with our guest international speaker and author, Laura Petherbridge, aka the Smart Stepmom.

During this episode, Allison and Dorothy share some raw and deeply personal struggles they face within their own families. At the same time, Laura offers sound, practical wisdom on how each of us can navigate dysfunction and conflict with love.

On the topic of grief and offense, she shares this profound statement, "Different offenses take different amounts of time to grieve and overcome." Finally, Laura gives life-changing advice on how we beautifully blend what might seem broken within a stepfamily dynamic. This episode can offer life-changing hope and valuable tools for ANY family, step or not, struggling to come together in a time plagued by division.
