I personally missed motherhood which is why, as a Motherhood Story Coach, I am creating a movement of conversation, education, and empowerment for women who are still on their way to motherhood. The status quo silence of our culture contributes to a mindset that we are just supposed to know how to become and be moms and that we have to do it alone. I consider this a mindset "virus" that stays with us at every stage of motherhood and feeds shame. 

When I talk with moms, I inevitably hear, "I wish I had had something like this when I was younger." I see your listeners as mothers of the younger generation who are desperately grasping to create their own motherhood lore and find models they can look to.

- There is very little dialogue about the journey TO motherhood until we have issues - the downstream effect

- The silence around this part of the journey leaves us feeling alone

- Let's shed the "one size fits all" mentality when it comes to our bodies and fertility

- Educating ourselves before our backs are up against the wall and emotions are high

- Creating a new motherhood lore

- We are humans first, then women, then mothers

I am a professionally trained coach. The movement I'm starting is known as Blow Up the Clock. Its intent is to bring awareness, clarity, consciousness, and an elevated conversation to women who are CONSIDERING motherhood. Not to moms, not to women who have missed motherhood, but to women CONSIDERING.

This movement can be distilled down to this simple invitation...Let's Talk About It! Because we don't.

That is why I create spaces of connection so that women can break the silence, shift their inner narrative, unlock their vision, and claim the beauty, freedom, authority, and power that is their birthright.
