Being a stepmom is hard.
We can help.
For any woman who dates, lives with, or is married to someone with kids.
We’re glad
you found us.
StepMom Magazine is a monthly, online publication for any woman who dates, lives with, or is married to someone who has kids. We help you navigate sticky situations like dealing with the ex, your relationship with your stepkids, and the reasons why you sometimes feel like an outsider in your own home.
Each monthly issue features articles written by our team of licensed therapists, certified stepfamily coaches, legal and financial advisors and veteran stepmoms who understand the challenges you’re facing—because we’re stepmoms too.
How it works
When you subscribe, you’ll receive exclusive access to the monthly magazine—a downloadable, printer-friendly PDF that’s easy to read anywhere, anytime. Each issue provides 35+ pages of expertly written and beautifully designed articles to help you take charge of your life and overcome your biggest challenges.
Why do stepmoms need a magazine?
If you’ve ever been told that you should love your stepkids like your own, or that you’re just the stepmom, or that you knew what you were signing up for, you know that being a stepmom is—complicated.
Friends and family usually don’t understand what it’s like and most therapists receive little to no formal training on stepfamily dynamics. This leaves stepmoms on the receiving end of well-intended but bad advice like “just be nice” and “take the high road” or “be patient…it’ll get better in time.”
We’re the how-to guide you’ve been looking for.

Hi.
I’m Brenda.
I remember the moment like it was yesterday.
I didn’t want to be a stepmom anymore.
I sat on the floor and cried.
And then I got up …
and created this magazine,
for every woman who’s ever felt like me.
