The post EP 26 The Power of Influence With Naja Hall appeared first on Blendcredible.

I recently sat down with my colleague, Naja Hall about www.VIPStepmom.com. As  MasterStepfamily Coach, writer and blended family advocate, Naja has become one of the most recognized faces in the stepfamily niche. During our recent chat, she gifted all of my audience 30% off a membership to her exclusive community. Here’s a word from Naja.

“Hey StepSistas. You and I are bonded because we’ve found hope with a man…with kiddos. I consider us blessed women because not everyone is built to handle all that accompanies loving a Dad. It has its rewards but my job is to help you navigate the “other side”.

Do you feel free of the things (and people) that are holding you back from being the BEST version of you? So many women like us have to deal with the consequences of other people’s decisions and we’re expected to just cope. Well, I say NO THANK YOU. When a person hands you a bag of crap, give it right back. We do not have to allow other people’s mess to stink up our spirit. It’s up to us to take back our crowns and do away with the things that weigh us down.

If you’re a woman dating, engaged or married to a man with kids, you need to be here! For less than the cost of a glass of wine, you get a life coach, a community, credible stepmom resources and a chance at true healing. A LIL PEACE OF MIND! REGISTER NOW!
