In today’s episode, we explore how stepmoms are painted in traditional fairy tales versus reality. Georgina’s book consists of 12 original fairy tales, each shifting the narrative to champion the stepmother as a positive influence.
We'll also discuss the historical stigma attached to the title of stepmother and how Georgina aims to dismantle the overly clinical and negative discourse surrounding stepfamilies.
Georgina acknowledges that while rebellion against stepparents is common among teens, her own relationship with her stepmother improved through shared responsibilities, experiences, and a broader supportive community. She advocates for a similar approach in nurturing positive stepfamily relationships.
Georgina Warren is a graduate of Christopher Newport University, where she majored in French, and recently received her Master of Library and Information Science degree from the Catholic University of America. She lives in Washington, D.C., and currently works at the Library of Congress.
Homeschooled until she was fifteen, she later attended the British School of Washington and the Field School, where she first cultivated her profound love of the literary, visual, and performing arts, and pursued her vision to become a writer, artist, and actor. Tales of Virtuous Stepmothers is the first installment of what will eventually be a three-volume collection.

Are you wondering how to pay for your kids or stepkids college? Do you know about the recent changes in FAFSA application and the impact it has on divorced parents and blended families?
What are the best strategies that will give your student the best changes of getting accepted to the college?
Let’s find out on The Stepmom Wisdom Circle
Here’s a bit more about Mindi
Described as “the bubble wrap of life & college coaching,” Mindi Trimble encourages college-bound students to POP with fun, stress-relieving ideas for navigating their educational journeys using the Majorly Determined method inside her multi-year Accepted Academy program.
She then makes sure they don’t POP under pressure by coaching them through carefully chosen coursework and self-directed experiences—all culminating in personality-filled applications that get put in the ‘yes’ pile.
Besides increasing acceptance rates, working with Mindi has been known to yield college financial offers ranging from five to thirty times her students’ investment in her programs.
When not singing her students’ praises, Mindi's flexing her Phi Beta Kappa-from-UC Berkeley skills at trivia nights, hiking with her family and German Sheagle, or using her formal opera training to make up silly versions of soprano arias.
