It’s Harder Than Anyone Admits and That’s Okay

You love your partner; truly. You care about the kids, even when the connection feels one-sided or fragile. But sometimes, the stress, uncertainty, and constant balancing act leave you emotionally drained.
You want harmony, yet you’re often stuck between loyalty, love, and limits. You try to hold it all together; to be patient, understanding, and strong; but deep down, you wonder, “When do I get to feel seen?

The Evil Stepmother Speaks is a lovely reassuring book for stepparents!

What Makes
Barb’s Approach Different

This isn’t therapy talk or fairy-tale advice; it’s real science, real tools, and a whole lot of heart.

1. Neuroscience of Stress

Understand why family conflicts trigger automatic stress responses it’s biology, not a moral failure.

2. Leadership at Home

Leverage practical tools from her corporate leadership experience to create structure, clarity, and calm in your family dynamics.

3. Compassion & Humor

Healing is faster when you laugh, not just when you endure. Compassion and humor help families connect and thrive.

I’m Barb Goldberg —

Once upon a time, I divorced my first husband… then found my second; and three bonus kids.

I know what it’s like to feel like an outsider in your own home, to question every decision, and to wonder if things will ever feel peaceful.

Now I teach stepmoms how to lead, not just survive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our courses

How could a coach help me? The ex is insane!

Great question! Can you change the ex? Can you change that stepchild who has no responsibilities? Probably not. But, you can change you. That’s where an experienced coach comes in. My perspective is to take advantage of my years of experience and training. The combination will change your life.

I am driving myself crazy. I give..give..give..with no return.

Are you a pleaser? Do you have a lifetime experience of saying ‘yes’ to all that is asked of you? Let’s learn how to say ‘no’. Let’s learn how to figure out what you really want. It is one of the hardest journeys because there’s a good chance you have given yourself very little thought.

My partner is a push-over. He/she wants me at everything.

Are you losing respect for your partner as you watch them saying ‘yes’ to everything and having no rules? It is maddening. Besides understanding the fear behind this behavior, I teach techniques on how to influence people and their behaviors.

Nothing is cast in stone.

No. You are not stuck in the agreements or behaviors you are currently performing. We often agree to naive tasks and then realize that we have no life. You have every right to change the terms and conditions of your partnership. I can help you get there.
