How to Heal the Childless Stepmom Wound with Beth McDonough
“Childless” stepmoms, whether by choice, by chance, or by circumstance, are faced with unique challenges. Society looks at us with skepticism, as somewhere between a parent and a pariah. In this presentation, Beth will explore how being a childless stepmom can be like rubbing salt in a raw wound. She will also explore how we can all heal that wound and start to see this role as freeing, fulfilling and empowering.
