Welcome to Step Parent World.

These podcasts and articles are designed to help step parents and biological parents create the life they want. I know how challenging being in a step family can be and it’s okay to seek help and guidance from parents who have been through the same struggles as you.
Being a step and a biological dad for over 20 years, I faced many issues and went through many challenging times.
Please feel free to navigate through my website to read and listen to all my podcasts and articles.
Visit the coaching packages to see how I can help you as a step family coach.
I offer a free 30 minute consultation call to see how we can work together and discuss your needs and what it is you want to achieve.
