One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned since becoming a mother is there’s no perfect way to parent. No matter your role - step parent, adopted parent, parent or otherwise. There’s no such thing as ‘perfect’. In fact you can delete that word from your vocabulary right now. Becoming a stepmama has been one of the biggest gifts, lessons and areas of growth of my life. Step parenting ain’t for the faith hearted, it’s for the BIG hearted and I truly believe, it has been integral in my journey of becoming a mother to my baby girl. Join me for this super heartfelt and vulnerable conversation with a dear friend of mine, Alyssa Nobriga where we delve into the truth about being a ‘bonus parent’ and break down all the stigmas of what it means to be a stepmama. We talk about what it means to be a soulful step parent, how to deal with messy step situations, respecting boundaries, how to honour your truth and build a beautfiul blened family and what it takes to not only THRIVE as a step mama, but how to show up with heart and intention.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/469 for the show notes.Join my newsletter: www.melissaambrosini.com/newsletterFollow me on Instagram: @melissaambrosini Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
