The Beyond Supermom program was designed for the seasoned mom, meaning you're not new to motherhood. You've been here for a while, but you're feeling overwhelmed by all of the demands that are placed upon you. Perhaps you're feeling resentment towards your partner, feeling the imbalance as you are carrying the majority of the mental and physical load that comes with running a household and raising kids.

You need to be willing to challenge those old beliefs and habits that are no longer serving you. This means that you need to get back in touch with who you are under that Supermom cape. /// This only happens when you spend time with yourself in self-reflection and engaging in activities that are going to help you grow into the best version of yourself. It doesn't mean that you have all the answers. It just means that you get curious about who you are beyond a mom. Listen, I know that you're amazing. I know that you're awesome in and out of your mom hat. Your family knows that too but right now they only know the part of you that is burnt out and tired from trying to do it all. I want to help you cultivate and grow and develop into the person that your family deserves for you to be. That YOU deserve to be. Not some supermom who thinks she has to do it all and be it all and do it all perfectly. I can help you hang up your supermom cape and get back to who you are so that you can recognize yourself in the mirror, so that you can be proud of who you are, and so that you show up as your authentic self in your relationships.
