Cheryl is also an ordained minister, a Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts facilitator, a speaker at conferences and retreats and the author of 4 books. She recently launched Stepmom Sanity, a Christ-centered sister circle of support, comprised of a blog, podcast, retreats, Facebook community, bible studies, and books to help stepmoms thrive in their roles without losing their minds. Cheryl, and her husband, Jonathan, who attended her first wedding, live in Michigan in a home frequently invaded by adult children looking for food.
