Do you feel like you're constantly asking yourself, “What am I doing wrong?”
Are you wondering why something you wanted so badly now feels so overwhelming?
Have you ever thought, “I used to feel so capable… why do I feel like I’m failing now?”

Are you silently sacrificing your mental health, identity, or sanity to be the “perfect” mom?
What if instead, you could feel emotionally grounded, clear, and connected - even in the messy moments?

It’s possible. And it’s not about doing more - it’s about shifting how you see yourself and redefining what success actually means now.

If you're like most high-achieving, thoughtful first-time moms, you entered motherhood with a plan, a playlist, and a spreadsheet.
And yet, you’re left feeling lost in the day-to-day chaos, wondering where your confident, capable self went.
In today’s episode, I’ll guide you through why this transition feels so disorienting for high achievers, and why the emotional unraveling you may be experiencing is actually a sign of something sacred unfolding. I’ll walk you through four core identity challenges new moms face, introduce you to the concept of matrescence, and offer a powerful new definition of success for this season of life.

Whether you’re buried under the pressure to “do it right,” questioning your worth because your to-do list is undone, or feeling like you’re quietly falling apart - you’re not alone.
And you’re not broken.
You can show up in motherhood feeling whole, grounded, and more yourself- not less.
And in this episode, I’ll help you begin that journey back to you.
