Cheryl Shumake

Ask Cheryl about her greatest adventure and she’ll tell you, “That I know and love Jesus and get to make Him known.” She is a Bible teacher, author, speaker, and founder of Stepmom Sanity; a Christ-centered, sister circle of support, providing help and hope for stepmoms who are “there” from stepmoms who’ve been there.
She has authored 4 books including her most recent, Waiting to Be Wanted, A Stepmom’s Guide to Loving Before Being Loved, and hosts the Stepmom Sanity podcast. Cheryl uses her skills, education, and training as a Master Coach to equip blended families, support women in spiritual formation, and mentor formerly sex-trafficked women in basic life skills.
Cheryl and her husband, Jonathan, make their home in Michigan and are frequently invaded by their 4 adult children and looking for food and hugs!
