The Motherhood Metamorphosis
They say that when a baby is born, so is a mother. But while you are there to help your baby grow into the person he or she is meant to be, who is there to help you? Many women feel lost and alone when they become mothers, wondering “who AM I now?”
Sometimes it feels like transformation from woman to mother is as radical as a caterpillar’s transformation into a butterfly.
Did you know that inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar literally turns into goop before it rearranges itself into a butterfly? This podcast is about the goop, what soul transformation looks like as you transition from being a woman to a mom.
Your baby’s growth matters. But yours does too. You’re not alone. I’m your host, Brittany Meng.
Welcome to the Motherhood Metamorphosis.

Lisa Speers: Marriage in the goop
Love this episode? Send me a message here!
Lisa Speers transformed her love of journaling into a thriving platform aptly named, I Do Part Two. She shares 'keeping it real' marriage stories and advice from experts to strengthen our most important relationships. She also hopes to encourage women who feel ‘stuck’ and a little ‘lost’ as their children leave the nest to start pursuing their own dreams. After 35 years of togetherness with her best friend and husband, as well as raising three grown children together, Lisa's concluded she and her husband will forever be trying to figure each other out.
Lisa and I use the metaphor of "being in the goop"--the transformational process of becoming someone or something new in the journey of motherhood--to talk about the metamorphosis a marriage or partnership goes through when you become a parent.
This can be an intense transformation! We both share our personal stories from new motherhood and how our marriages have shifted and changed over the years; how we've learned to connect with our spouses new new ways, and grow together as a couple.
This is a beautiful and practical conversation that we hope will help you reflect on your own relationship and the goodness and growth that can be found there.
