Motherhood changed everything for me, in beautiful, messy, and overwhelming ways I never expected. I went from pregnancy highs and nursery projects, to sobbing on the bed because nothing fit, to holding my baby after a long, exhausting labour and thinking, what do I do now?

​

The truth is, I lost myself. I felt unrecognisable in my own body, consumed by anxiety, guilt, and silent doubts I was too scared to share. I longed for connection, but often hid away where no one could judge me.

​

Something had to change. And when it did, i rediscovered a truth i now help other mothers see: you don't have to disappear into motherhood. You get to expand within it.
