does this sound familar?
you used to handle everything
The "strong" one that everyone relies on, The woman who figures things out. You're the woman who could manage a career, relationships, responsibilities, and still keep life moving. You’re used to performing at a high level in your life.
Which is why this feels so unsettling.
Other people may see you as the mom who's got it all together, and wonder how you do it all. But if we’re being honest, you feel stretched thin, disconnected from yourself, and unsure how to get back to the version of you who used to feel in control of her life.
Before you became a mom,
Maybe it shows up in moments like:
- Having so much on your plate that you're dragging yourself through the day, often snapping at your loved ones or shutting down from carrying everything
- Noticing that everyday is dragging by and you feel bone-tired and wondering if this level of tired is normal or if something is actually wrong with your health
And somewhere in the background, a quiet loop of thoughts keeps running: I don’t know what happened to me.
You keep trying to push through and get yourself back together. Especially since you're not the type who likes to show what you're going through.
But a deeper question keeps surfacing: "Am I okay?"
Motherhood changes everything from your body, your identity, your capacity, to the expectations placed on you. This season is often called Matrescence, a time of immense change and transition into motherhood.
Yet most support for moms focuses on surface-level solutions: mindset tips, routines, and self-care checklists. But what actually shifts after becoming a mother, especially as a woman of color navigating matrescence, runs much deeper.
Through therapy, I help you feel more like yourself again — calmer in your body, more present in your relationships, and with the energy to actually enjoy the life you worked so damn hard to build.
