My Journey

Resentful. Anxious. Lonely. Controlling.‍ ‍

These were common emotions and parts that crept up during the first 7 years of my daughter’s life. My husband was developing a new business, my anxiety around my daughter’s safety was through the roof and working remotely from home, I felt lost and alone. As these feelings grew, my normal joy, enthusiasm, and ability maintain positive connections faded. I knew something had to shift if I wanted to have a healthy marriage, reimagine myself outside of motherhood and create the stability I knew we needed in our home. I didn’t need to overhaul my life, but I knew if was up to me to make the change.

Through therapy, coaching and learning valuable mindset tools, I came to see that I am not alone in my experience of motherhood. During my training in the Matricentric Way I learned about matrescence and the deep transformation that occurs when someone becomes a mother. It’s a period marked by profound changes in a woman’s body, mind, and social roles, similar to how adolescence represents the transition from childhood to adulthood. This gave me a wider context for what I was experiencing and helped me make sense of the complexities I was holding as a mom. I dove in deep and this has become the foundation of my coaching practice.

As I move through each season of motherhood, I try to approach the changes in myself, my daughter and our family as a whole with more grace, compassion and understanding. I don’t always have the answers and I don’t always get it right. But I know the peace and clarity that comes from “doing the work,” and I would love to support you in doing that too.

Warmly,

Jenn
