So motherhood not quite like you imagined? Not being the Supermum and go-getter career woman you thought you'd be? 
You are not alone!
Hi! I am Dr Fabienne (Ph.D) and I help mothers who feel unfulfilled and undervalued and are tired of living in survival mode, anxiety and overwhelm navigate motherhood and career on their own terms.

If you have struggled with the shift in identity since becoming a mother, feeling invisible, undervalued and like you have lost yourself, you are not alone! You can get back to you, be the great mother you want to be and have a fulfilling career you love without burnout or depression and without sacrificing yourself, your health, career, dreams or family. 
WAYS TO WORK WITH ME 
For years, even decades, you have been an ambitious, career-focused woman who got things done and felt that she could pretty much handle anything. Then you became a mother and your world changed!

You didn't recognise yourself anymore and perhaps you even felt that you lost yourself.
  Career has always been a big part of your life, but now you feel caught between your career and your home life. Perhaps you’ve even lost the vision you had for yourself, your career and your life. You’re unsure about what you really want. You have tried to do it all, be it all, have it all, while smiling and pretending to be happy at all times, as society tells you a 'good mother' should do.
​
​
In reality, you feel pulled in so many different directions. You live in survival mode and you find yourself on a wild emotional roller-coaster of anger, guilt, resentment, anxiety, overwhelm, even perhaps depression. You want to enjoy motherhood and you also want to continue doing work that is meaningful and fulfilling to you. Whether you are a new or an experienced mother, you feel something is seriously missing. You worry that this is as good as it gets and when it will be time for you again.  You worry that this is as good as it gets and whether time for you and your dreams and aspirations will ever come again.
 
You love your children but do you feel...
  • invisible, undervalued, resentful and overwhelmed?
  • that you have been losing yourself since becoming a mother and are sacrificing so much of yourself and what matters to you?
  • unfulfilled by motherhood and guilty for wanting more for yourself?
  • that you are failing at motherhood? Perhaps it's the first time you feel you can't do something.
  • that your passion, purpose and drive have been stifled by the relentless demands and expectations of motherhood?
​
  • Do you resent your partner because his/her life hasn't changed since you had children?
  • Do you crave a deep connection with your children, but find that you are somewhere else mentally when you are with them?​
  • Do you believe that your life’s purpose is greater than being a mother?​

The truth is:  many mothers really struggle with motherhood (even hate it) and feel unfulfilled, but hide it for fear of coming across as bad mothers.  If you feel that you hate motherhood, you are not alone!  Perhaps you haven't been able to say it aloud for fear of being judged. Or perhaps you have said it and, most likely, you have been shamed and told there is something wrong with you or that you are depressed!
Picture
 Well, there is nothing wrong with you. You are not broken. You don't need fixing.
Whilst nothing prepares you for motherhood, it is time to understand what is really happening. It is time to get out of survival mode so you can navigate the all-encompassing often unacknowledged identity shift that has left you feeling invisible, confused, overwhelmed and lost. This shift  has affected all areas of your life and nobody has ever told you about it.  It's called matrescence! It is time to understand what is truly happening and to connect with the woman you are becoming so you can have a career you love and be a great mother on your own terms.  You matter and you deserve to be seen and valued and find your space in the world.

​If you’re wondering 'Is this REALLY as good as it gets?' and you’re ready to take back control of your life, I’m here to help you to feel fulfilled in your career, whatever that might look like for you, and be the great mother you want to be on your own terms.  Call  for your free phone consultation.
