🤱 Struggling with motherhood? You’re not alone.

Do you ever feel like…
✔️ You don’t recognize yourself anymore?
✔️ Your priorities and emotions have shifted?
✔️ You love your baby but also miss your old life?
✔️ You’re expected to ‘just know’ how to be a mum—but don’t?

There's a word for what you're experiencing - matrescence: the process of becoming a mother. Like adolescence, it’s full of physical, emotional, and identity shifts. Yet, society barely talks about it!

💡 It’s time to change that.

In our latest blog, we break down the science of matrescence and share practical ways to navigate this life-changing transition. Because motherhood isn’t about ‘bouncing back’—it’s about becoming.

✨ Read the full blog here:

This article explores matrescence, the physical, emotional and psychological changes women experience as they become mothers.

Parenting is hard, and when your inner critic goes into overdrive, it’s easy to feel like you’re not enough. But take a deep breath—you are showing up (all day everyday), and that matters!

You’re doing better than you think (or give yourself credit for)!

Swipe through these reflection questions to check in with yourself. ✨

💭 What expectations are you placing on yourself?
💭 Are your expectations realistic?
💭 Would you speak to a friend the way you speak to yourself?
💭 How does your self-talk shape your mood (and parenting)?

💛 Be kind to yourself—you deserve it.

📌 Save this for when you need a reminder & share with another parent who needs to hear this today. 💬

After 8 years of running award-winning antenatal classes New Life Classes is shifting our focus to helping parents avoid burnout and manage the challenges of parenthood.

Why the switch?
Parents need more support! Too many (particularly mothers) are feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, frustrated, disconnected, guilty, sidelined, exhausted, ashamed, depleted and burnt out...and we can help.

Our focus is on you!
With personalised coaching and support we can help you learn to thrive, not just survive as you navigate the challenges of your new life as a parent. We are offering you a place to be heard and find solutions that work for you.
