We’re often told that as our children grow, the path toward ‘freedom’ should get clearer, with parenting becoming less hands-on. But what happens when you find yourself still in the trenches, feeling isolated and exhausted, even as your kids get older? You’re not alone. Join us as we share real stories, uncover the unspoken challenges, and help you rediscover permission to reclaim purpose and energy in your own motherhood journey.

- Redefining the Motherhood Journey

- Navigating the Identity Shift of Motherhood
- Stories from the Trenches
- Building Flexible Rhythms and Routines
- Managing Overwhelm in the ‘Second Stage’ of Motherhood
- Cultivating Joy and Connection in Daily Life
- When there’s no room for you and it’s all about service
- The dynamic that sets you up for resentment
- Wondering ‘who am I?’ And ‘Where’s my value?’
