How to Feel Like Yourself Again in Motherhood
About
How to Feel Like Yourself Again in MotherhoodThe essential shifts to reclaim your sense of self, and return to calm, grounded connection.
Motherhood can be deeply meaningful - and it can also feel disorienting.
Many mothers quietly carry a sense of feeling lost, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of who they’re becoming in this season. You might love your children deeply, yet feel like parts of you have faded into the background. You may notice more overwhelm, guilt, emotional reactivity, or self-criticism than you expected - and wonder why this feels harder than it “should”.
This workshop exists to gently name what so many mothers are experiencing - and to help it make sense.
This workshop is for you if:
* You feel overwhelmed, unsettled, or disconnected from yourself in motherhood
* You’re asking “Who am I now?” - beyond the role of mother
* You feel guilty for wanting space, time, or a sense of self again
* You’re trying to cope, organise, or push through - but still feel off
* You want more steadiness, self-trust, and inner grounding in this season
What we’ll explore together...
At the heart of this workshop is an understanding of matrescence - the profound and transformative transition into, and through, motherhood.
Matrescence describes the emotional, psychological, physical, and identity shifts women experience as they become mothers. Despite how common this transition is, there’s still very little education or support available - leaving many women feeling confused, isolated, or as though something is “wrong” with them.
In this 2-hour workshop, we’ll explore:
* Why feeling lost or disconnected in motherhood isn’t about being “too busy” or not coping well enough
* How matrescence impacts identity, values, emotions, and sense of self
* The common unconscious stories and expectations that keep mothers stuck in self-criticism, guilt, and disconnection
* Three strategies that help mothers feel more grounded, aligned, and connected to themselves again
This workshop isn’t about fixing yourself or becoming a “better” mother.
It’s about understanding what you’re moving through - and meeting yourself with more compassion, clarity, and steadiness.
What you’ll walk away with...
By the end of this workshop, you will:
* Understand why you’ve been feeling the way you have - and know that you’re not alone
* Have language for the emotional and identity shifts of motherhood
* Feel more validated, grounded, and self-trusting
* Gain clarity on what actually helps in this season
* Feel less like you’re fighting yourself & resisting things - and more connected to who you are becoming
You’ll also be guided through gentle grounding and embodiment practices to help you integrate what we explore, rather than just thinking your way through it.
