Childless and child-free stepmothers face unique challenges compared to stepmothers who have biological children of their own. Rachelle discusses the various emotions they encounter and ways to deal with them with international speaker and author, Laura Petherbridge. Laura wrote When ‘I Do’ Becomes ‘I Don’t’: Practical Steps for Healing During Separation and Divorce and The Smart Stepmom with stepfamily expert, Ron Deal. From September 27 to 29th, Laura is participating in a stepmother retreat in Dallas, Texas designed to bring stepmothers together, and hopes many of you will attend this exciting event.
