Motherhood is such a gift, but it demands a lot from us.
I am a mom of three and know personally and professionally what a joy and what a challenge parenting can be. It is easy to lose sense of who you are when you are caring for others. I assist mothers in managing the stress and pressure that can accompany motherhood.
From the challenges of having a newborn to the obstacles of parenting teenagers, it can be difficult to manage our emotions and our reactions to stress. With support and new coping skills, it is possible to truly enjoy the parts of motherhood that seem challenging now. As parents we set the tone for our family. When we are feeling our best, our family functions at its best.
Re-connect with yourself…
When we take on the role of motherhood, we often become so consumed with taking care of our family that we forget to nurture ourselves. Are you feeling like you’ve lost some sense of who you are? Has your role as a mother left you missing a part of your identity? Being a parent can be wonderful and incredibly rewarding, but it can also feel isolating, challenging, and exhausting.
What do you do for fun? What are you passionate about? What makes you uniquely you? I’ll help you to remember who you were, as well as to know and love the YOU that you’ve become. The greatest joy in my life is being a mother, but there is more to me than my role as a mother and I’m sure there is to you, too.
If you feel like you’d benefit from support navigating the complex emotions related to motherhood, email me, or give me a call to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation. I’d love to hear more about you, your family, and the areas of life you’d like to improve.
