TRUTH-TELLING TIME:
This stepmom role is like no other.

Starting today.
And helping you actually enjoy stepmom life happens to be my specialty.
Not every stepfamily solution can be crowdsourced. And not every major life transition has been mapped out in a New York Times bestseller. (In fact, most of them haven't!) To make meaningful moves in your stepmom life, you need the dedicated support of a coach who's been there.
SHALL WE MAKE THIS OFFICIAL?
Hi! I'm Michaela Bucchianeri, PhD— Stepmom Coach.
Aliases: Queen of Questions, Pro Empathizer, Shamelessly Permissive Pet Parent, and Staunch Believer that the Best Is Still to Come.
With a professional background in psychology and over a decade of experience as a stepmom myself, I'm not just full of opinions (although I *do* have a few)— I've got the school cred and the street cred to back 'em up.
"Simply put, you won't find another coach like Michaela. She brought me from the brink of burnout to a level of peace I didn't think possible.
"She really walks the talk, striking this beautiful balance between what is and what could be. Michaela's dedication to helping her clients create meaningful shifts is powerful. She also happens to be hilarious. I don't think I've ever laughed harder. You've been warned."
