Welcome back, mamas.
In this return episode, I want to share something close to my heart — a reflection on my own journey through burnout, vulnerability, and change. Over the past few months, I’ve been reminded just how hard it can be to pause, to admit that we’re struggling, and to honour our need for rest. Motherhood asks so much of us, and yet within the breaking down, there is always a quiet invitation to begin again — softer, truer, more aligned with who we’re becoming.
Key Takeawways: :
- 🌸 The courage to be honest about our struggles, and the healing that comes when we stop pretending we’re okay.
- 🌿 The necessity of rest, and how stepping back allows space for renewal.
- 🌀 The shifting identity of matrescence, and how breaking down can become a breakthrough.
- 💗 Letting go of old patterns, trusting that what falls away is making space for something more real.
- 🌈 Embracing change, and remembering that transformation is part of our rhythm as mothers.
If you’re feeling stretched, tired, or unsure right now — please know...
You are not alone.
We are most definitely in this together.
