What this session covers
Becoming a mother is often framed as a joyful milestone. But beneath that, there’s a deeper shift happening, one that changes how you see yourself and everything around you.
This session explores motherhood not just as a role, but as a transition. One that reshapes your identity in ways most women aren’t prepared for.
Drawing from storytelling, mythology, and psychology, we’ll look at what’s actually happening during this shift, and why it can feel hard to name. For many women, the struggle isn’t something going wrong, it’s the process itself.
Without the kind of guidance or “village” that once existed, a lot of this gets navigated alone. This conversation gives language to that experience, and a way to move through it with more clarity.
In this session, you’ll explore:
Motherhood as a psychological initiation
The identity shift that comes with becoming a mother
Insights from mythology and archetypes that mirror this journey
A Jungian perspective on transformation, loss, and rebirth
Why resisting the shift can make it feel harder
How to move through this phase with more clarity and steadiness
Whether you’re newly postpartum, expecting, or still making sense of the shift, this session will help you better understand what’s happening and how to move through it.
