Are you overwhelmed again, mother?
Does this sound like you……
At times you feel like you’re not a good mother, or you lack the connection you’re supposed to have with your child? Maybe your attachment postpartum went wonky and you’ve spent years trying to make up for it? Do you at times feel guilty, invalidated, and even wonder sometimes if you were ever meant to even be a mom. Do you ever wish your body could be your own again and are having a hard time loving it? Do you only ever feel like a mom but wish you could feel like a sexy momacita again?
Are you shocked no one ever told you what to expect when it came to parenting, or you feel no one understands your unique journey?
The overwhelm is real! It makes you feel alone. You may not even know what your needs are at the moment. You may be at a point where you feel motherhood has broken who you once were and you struggle to find and be happy with your new identity.
The reason nothing is working is because you are trying to apply what you already know to a situation that demands an entirely new skill set and is something you never imagined until you suddenly found yourself in the middle of it. There is no manual on parenting, true…..BUT there are many things I’ve learned over the years that make motherhood so much more enjoyable.
While giving birth we get birthed into new beings as well. But so often every waking second is focused on the baby and over time we lose ourselves or don’t adequately take the time to get to know this new version of ourselves.
I will give you a safe space to discuss all the taboo topics and negative thoughts that run rampant in your head. We will replace them with peace and connection. Many mothers suffer alone, thinking this is what motherhood demands, you are SO not alone!
I am creating a multi-generational group of women who come together to be honest, lift each other up, and truly connect, allowing each other support. You will learn how to be a relaxed parent and prioritize what really matters. Can you imagine being a mother that feels balanced, alive, living with intent, and feeling how truly strong you are?!
If you are looking for a village or don’t like the one you have, this is for you.
There can be so many things that make motherhood hard, parenting a sensitive, medically, or behaviorally complex kiddo, or your kids have grown and you struggle to know your purpose when you are no longer a full-time caregiver, or you have had experiences as a mother that still could use healing and feel you would benefit from helping someone just starting out on their parenting journey, I am here for YOU!
As a therapist turned coach so I could break the mold and really show up for people in whatever capacity they need, I would love to talk with you, meet you, hold your hand, give you a hug, coach you, bring you into a group of supportive women, whatever I can do. It has become my life mission to combat societal norms where so much is expected of us, and we are spread so thin. I believe together as women we can make anything possible. If you’d like help getting out of a hole or becoming part of a movement that respects a woman’s emotional, intuitive, intellectual, and nurturing qualities and sees all these as a strength please reach out by phone or email!
