Motherhood changes everything. It’s one of the most profound experiences, but it can also shake you to your core. No one tells you how much you’ll change—or how easy it is to lose yourself in the process.

 

When my first daughter arrived early and tragically passed away the day she was born, my world shattered. I was thrown into a reality I never imagined—choosing my baby’s urn, registering both her birth and death on the same day, and planning a funeral instead of bringing her home.

​

The excitement I once associated with pregnancy turned into fear, anxiety, and grief. My second daughter was born prematurely during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and spent nearly a month in neonatal intensive care. Two years later, my son was born via planned c-section. I should have felt overjoyed. Instead, I felt numb.

​

I didn’t realise it at the time, but I was battling postnatal depression. I turned to food for comfort, old eating patterns resurfaced, and I gained four stone. My confidence plummeted. I felt frumpy, invisible, and lost.

I had longed for this family life, yet the reality of early motherhood was far from what I had imagined. I was depleted—exhausted from sleepless nights, lost, and emotionally drained. I felt like a shadow of my former self, stuck in survival mode. I found myself resenting how much my children needed me, leaving no time or space for myself. I grieved the woman I used to be.

 

Things changed.

 

My values changed.

My priorities changed.

My identity changed.

My mental health changed.

My relationships changed.

My body changed.

 

Now, with therapy behind me and the early baby phase in the past, I know that being a mother is the most incredible privilege. I feel blessed to raise two wonderful children. The joy and love I experience from watching them grow and flourish is immeasurable, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

​

That said, motherhood and the deep loss I experienced became the catalyst for change. While I cherished being a mum, I wasn’t OK with losing myself in the role of ‘mummy.’ I needed to reclaim time for myself, regain my confidence, and pursue aspirations beyond parenthood. I had been drowning in self-judgment and lacked self-compassion, all while trying to be the best role model for my children.

​

Despite having a stable and financially secure life, I felt lost, stuck in a job that no longer aligned with the life I wanted for my family.

 

THEN, I FOUND COACHING - AND EVERYTHING CHANGED.

 

For the first time, I had space to think about me. Working with a coach helped me unravel the deep-rooted beliefs that had been keeping me stuck. I finally understood what I wanted, what I needed, and what had been holding me back for so long.

​

The transformation was so powerful that it inspired me to become a Life Coach myself—so I could help other mums navigate the same struggles I once faced.

 

Because I know how it feels to:
✔ Lose yourself in motherhood
✔ Feel stuck in a life that no longer fits
✔ Battle self-doubt and fear of change
✔ Struggle with confidence, career direction, & personal identity
✔ Wonder if you’ll ever feel like you again

 

And I also know that change is possible.

​

Now, I support women like you in reclaiming your confidence, rediscovering your passions, and creating a life that feels aligned and fulfilling. Because you deserve more than just surviving motherhood—you deserve to thrive.

​

If any of this resonates, know that you’re not alone. And you don’t have to do this alone.

​

Let’s take that first step together. 💛
