5 Step-Parenting Mistakes That Hold Us Back with Cameron Normand
Is step-parenting feeling harder than you expected? You’re not alone — and you’re not doing it wrong.
In this heartfelt and practical episode, Wendy talks with Cameron Normand, founder of Step Family Solutions and host of The Stepmom Diaries, about the five most common mistakes stepparents make — and what to do instead.
Drawing from her own experience as a stepmom of four (including one with special needs) and years of coaching stepfamilies, Cameron shares real-world tools for building connection, setting boundaries, and finding peace in the beautiful chaos of blended family life.
You’ll learn:
✨ Why striving for perfect only fuels burnout (and how to shift to “present & good enough”)
✨ How to practice connection before correction and redefine discipline in stepfamilies
✨ Why kind boundaries are essential self-care for every stepparent
✨ The “circle of control” reframe that protects your energy and confidence
✨ How to stop comparing your stepfamily to a “first family” and build your own positive memory bank
