Jen Briggs, a dear friend of mine who is a business and life coach has done just that! As you can imagine it\u2019s probably not easy to maneuver into a family that was once three and is now four. Step mothers also get a bad rap in our society. Which by the way not all step mothers are evil. With her new marriage, kids, new business and recent move she is going to tell us how she makes it all work.\n\nJenn shares with us:\n\n\nTrying to \u201cfit\u201d in\u2014it\u2019s hard not to take things personal when you are trying hard to please someone else\n\n\u201cThirty Days of Yes\u201d \u2014you have to listen to this!\n\nOutside therapy\u2014sometimes it\u2019s good to get an outside perspective.
