Welcome!

Hi! I’m Heidi Farrell and this is my awesome family, in all of our mess and goodness! My stepdaughter is 24, my stepson is 21 and my bio kids are 10, 8, and 6, whom I homeschool. My husband and I are both classically-trained musicians, and we love to travel, camp, make music, and serve our community.

As a life coach, I absolutely love coaching, listening to, and guiding stepmoms and moms. And I also love coaching couples. We all need someone we can trust when we aren’t sure what each day brings.

In my coaching, I offer encouragement, support, and practical tools to apply to help bring peace and harmony into your heart and stepfamily. I understand what it looks like to be a fulltime stepmom, and also a stepmom who brought babies into the family.

When it comes to my journey as a stepmom these last 11+ years, I’ve learned that honesty is the best way to break down the misconception that we are alone in facing the struggles that come from blended family life. Book a free 15-minute discovery call today!

Take a look at some of my blog posts while you’re here. You’ll see my journey as a stepmom and what I have learned along the way…and what I’m still learning everyday!

Why the name “Not Just a Stepmom?” Well, you are NOT just a stepmom (even when that role often feels like the dominant one!). You are a dearly loved child of God. I’m a biological mom, too, and the same thing applies to those of you who aren’t stepmoms!
