Motherhood Redefined…
Your Journey Your Way
Identity Work and Wellbeing
A transformational coaching group to help you navigate the wild, wonderful and overwhelming world of motherhood.
8 Live Online group sessions: starting Jan 17th
Fridays, 12 noon – 2 pm
Perfect for new mums, recent mums, mums resurfacing, and mums with kids under 5!
The Motherhood Redefined programme is for you if…
- You’re feeling all the highs and the lows and want a space to unpack the ‘rollercoaster’ ride of matrescence
- You’re noticing shifts in your identity and ‘who’ you feel yourself to be and wondering ‘Who am I now’ and ‘what does this all mean?’
- You’re thinking about your work and purpose; leaving work, returning to work, or pivoting—and need space to reflect plan and think… and some help gathering all the tools you need to tackle this with confidence.
- You’re experiencing all the diverging feelings - guilt, joy, overwhelm, and a head full of conflicting ambitions and could do with unpacking this with others...
- You want to find more equilibrium and balance between work, kids, relationships, and your personal goals.
- You’d love to meet others like you who “get it” and are going to cheer you on.
- You’re looking for connection, clarity, and a creative approach to exploring your transition and experience of matrescence
Ultimately, you want to carve out time to breathe, reflect, and take charge of how motherhood is shaping your life.
What you’ll gain:
This program is more than just a group. It’s going to be your stigma-free safe-space and springboard for self-discovery, decision making, confidence, and a whole lot of “aha!” moments.
• Space to reflect: Who are you now, and what does motherhood mean to you away from the hype and the socially prescribed ‘norm’ of it all. What do you want and need now?
• Practical tools: Support, cheerleading, work decisions, camaraderie, ideas and strategies to help with the difficult stuff and ways to navigate the choices you are facing now.
• Increased self-confidence - ‘you’re not the only one who feels like this’…With strategies, the increased confidence and self esteem from knowing you really ARE doing a good enough job you’ll be able to navigate YOUR choices in work and life with greater ease and clarity.
• Better work-life alignment: Time to reflect on this so you can focus on your need to find space for your desires; for ambition, for joy.
• Empowered choices: Figure out what success looks like to you now and start to make the moves that feel right for you.
• A cheerleading gang: Connect with an incredible group of mothers who’ll support you every step of the way.
Each session will be a facilitated mix of group discussion, peer to peer connection, and actionable tools and strategies.
Together, we’ll co-create the agenda to focus on what matters most to you.
Session themes include:
• What does Motherhood REALLY mean to you? reflecting on your own experiences and whats defined your motherhood so far?
• Who Are You Now? Who are you becoming? Exploring how your identity is shifting and your self-connection.
• Navigating Work: Real life strategies for deciding what you need to do now - with confidence and clarity, whether you’re leaving, returning, or reinventing your career.
• Relationships: What the hell happened? Managing all the shifting dynamics with partners, family, and friends.
• Guilt & Shame: Releasing all the unhelpful narratives we pick up and cultivating our own clarity; self- compassion and acceptance
• Ambition & Choices: Redefining what success means now and setting personally meaningful intentions.
• Money & Independence: Build financial confidence and clarity.
• The juggle: Balance your priorities to thrive, not just survive.
Each session will have some linked course materials that will be sent to you before the sessions. This will not be arduous, but will help you to think about what you want to bring to each session so you really make the most of the group experience.
The group will have our own Community WhatsApp group where I will ‘hold space’ for the group, share supportive ideas and offer coaching solutions as we go through the programme. The group will be your No.1 cheerleading network for the programme where you will be able to share and support each other for the duration of the group and beyond.
Children and kids in the ssessions
I am assuming that participants will have your baby/children with you while we are in the online group or that they might be napping. The course is designed precisely so that mums with kids can attend. We will take into consideration all you might have to do to deal with babies and children at the same time, feed babies etc. I have lots of experience of this having been NCT Chair for 8.5 years and organising ALL our meetings and events WITH KIDS IN TOW, so please do not worry about having your children in the space - this is REAL life after all and part of our journey. On the other hand if you want to engage some childcare for the duration then please do.

This course is open to any and all people who define themselves as a mother. Inclusivity is very important to me so I aim to provide a space where mothers of all backgrounds feel welcome. What is very important is that you connect with the information on here about the course and that it describes where you find yourself to be in life and that you feel ready for your exploration of motherhood. The course is for any women that feels a ‘YES thats me!’
I am known as someone who works with creative and energetic processes as a way to unlock ideas and new ways forward. I make no assumption about who will be attracted to the course and what your background will be. I will use creative tasks to uncover information and ideas but ALL of my methods are designed with no artistic background needed.
