About
I'm Jennifer Powell.
I've been where you are.
A childless stepmom, sober since [year], and a certified somatic coach. I teach women like us how to regulate a nervous system that stepfamily life keeps setting off — so you can stop white-knuckling and start living in your own home again.
Placeholder bio — Jennifer's real story, credentials, and dates drop in verbatim when ready.
The driveway was where I fell apart.
Every other Friday, I'd sit in the car outside my own house, rehearsing being fine. Inside was a family I'd married into but didn't feel part of — kids who weren't mine, routines that predated me, and a version of myself I didn't recognize.
The wine helped, until it didn't. Getting sober showed me the drinking was never the real problem — a nervous system stuck in survival mode was. When I learned to work with my body instead of against it, everything I'd been trying to think my way out of finally started to shift.
Insight was never enough. My body had to learn it was safe.
Now I coach childless stepmoms through that same shift — with somatic tools, honest conversation about alcohol and numbing, and zero judgment about where you're starting from.
How I work
Body first, story second
We don't start with rehashing the weekend. We start with what your nervous system is doing — then the story gets lighter on its own.
No judgment about alcohol
Sober, sober-curious, or just noticing the wine pours itself — you're met exactly where you are.
Built for stepfamily calendars
Custody weekends, handoffs, holidays. Everything we build is designed to work in the real moments, not just in session.
Two ways to work together
Private 1:1 coaching, or the small-group Childless Stepmom Reset. Pricing is on every page — no consult call required.
