You love your kids - You Really Do!

You so do! They’re cute and funny and sweet. But…will you ever shower by yourself again? What’s happening with your career? Will calling your mom make you feel better or worse? What is this weird vibe showing up with your partner? Who even are you these days? And if you’re feeling under water and need to hide in the bathroom alone with your phone, are you really cut out for this?

I cannot express this more emphatically: Motherhood is not just your old life, plus children. Motherhood transforms us from the inside out - physically, biologically, hormonally, mentally, emotionally - and scrambles the life and self we worked so hard to build until this point. It is kind of like looking at your life through a funhouse mirror - you can recognize the basics, but the image is distorted. Motherhood is beautiful. It is also fundamentally disorienting.

You deserve to find your footing. You don’t have to stay stuck here, submerged, and drowning. It is possible to feel clear, grounded and strong again.
