In Nearly Losing Her New Family, She Found Simplicity
When Karon Phillips Goodman became a stepmother, she didn’t expect life to change much. She liked her stepsons, the kids all got along, and the parents usually behaved like adults. Karon thought they’d feel like a “regular” family by the time the first phone bill arrived.
Karon was in for a few surprises—she almost lost her marriage!
She was overwhelmed by caring for three kids, uncomfortable around her husband’s family, and terrified of his ex-wife. The kids argued; her husband didn’t understand her. Karon spent her days running everyone’s lives and her nights crying herself to sleep. She felt she should be the one who left on Sunday evenings.
As her family neared the breaking point, Karon knew that something had to change—and that something was Karon. When she chose a simpler approach, the results were astounding. By controlling less, she allowed her family to thrive.
In her new 192-page book, The Stepmom's Guide to Simplifying Your Life (EquiLibrium Press, $14.00, ISBN: 0-9667393-7-X), Karon, a freelance journalist, tells stepmothers how they, too, can help their families thrive. Featuring “Tales from the Blender”—dramatic real-life accounts from more than two dozen stepmothers—the book has won enthusiastic advance praise from leaders of national and local stepfamily groups and best-selling stepparenting authors.
“The Stepmom’s Guide to Simplifying Your Life” is available from
all booksellers. To learn more about the book (or EquiLibrium Press's other
