Some mums need more than to hear, “You’re not alone.”
Yes, you’re not alone.
Yes, motherhood can be incredibly hard.
Yes, some seasons genuinely are about getting through one day at a time.
But sometimes, when a mum says, “I don't feel like myself anymore,” I think she deserves more than, “That’s just motherhood.”
She deserves to be heard.
She deserves to be supported.
And she deserves to believe that struggling right now doesn't mean this is who she'll be forever.
There is nothing wrong with finding motherhood difficult. There is nothing wrong with feeling overwhelmed, exhausted or disconnected from yourself. And some experiences - physical, emotional and mental - need real support and care.
But I also believe this:
You can acknowledge how hard things are without giving up on the possibility that they can feel different.
You can love your children deeply and still miss yourself.
You can be grateful for your life and still want more joy in it.
You can be struggling today and still take small steps towards feeling more like yourself tomorrow.
You don't have to wait for your children to grow up before you give yourself permission to matter again.
So if you've been telling yourself, “Maybe this is just who I am now,” let this be a gentle reminder from someone who believes in you:
Maybe you're not meant to go back to who you were. Maybe you're allowed to grow into someone new - without losing yourself along the way.
And if you need a safe space to talk through the parts of motherhood that feel heavy, you don't have to have all the right words. Sometimes, having someone listen is where things begin.
I’m opening two 1:1 coaching spots for September for mums who are ready to reconnect with themselves and feel a little more grounded in their motherhood.
If you’re reading this thinking, “This is exactly where I am right now,” send me a DM. There’s no pressure and no need to have it all figured out. We can simply start with a conversation.
What is one thing you wish felt a little lighter in your life right now?
