Meet your Life Coach, Cheerleader, and new mom-bestie

When I became a mom, I was completely caught off guard.

It felt like an identity crisis that no one had warned me about. I was confronted with new anxieties, new dynamics in my relationship, and a huge of question of: Who am I now? 

I remember thinking to myself, “Is it this hard for everyone else?” I felt like I was failing.

A few months went by, and I just felt…lost. I decided there had to be a way to thrive in motherhood, and I was going to be the person to figure out how. So - I went back to basics.

• I called my therapist (she’s on speed dial).

• I added structure to my day.

• I worked on communicating my needs with my partner.

• I looked at how my own childhood was influencing me now that I was a parent.

• I moved my body

• I practiced meditation + incorporated affirmations. (I actually found spirituality in general, but that’s a story for another day!) 

• I got my daughter on a sleep schedule

• I took a good, hard look at how societal norms and stigmas were affecting what I thought it took to a “good mom.”

  In time, I began to realize that the more I nurtured my identity as “Alyson” in addition to mama, the better mama I was.

I’ve taken everything I've learned from my training as a psychotherapist, my own experience with motherhood, and lots of trial and error to support you through the coaching process.

And let me tell you - nothing fires me up than watching a mama come into herself again.
