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.

About Unexpected: Learning to love your unpredictable story
Are you going through the unexpected right now, this very moment?
I've been there too: From an unexpected twin pregnancy; Autism and ADHD diagnoses for my sons; a devastating miscarriage; the loss of my career; dealing with depression and anxiety; being a military wife, and so much more. With honesty and compassion, I explores themes such as grief, anger, rest, waiting, community, patience, supporting others through difficult circumstances, and loving others when it is hard.
Each chapter contains a brief reading, scripture to meditate on, and challenge questions to ponder, pray over, journal about, or discuss in a group. My hope and prayer is that as you are going through this unexpected season, my story will encourage you and provide comfort and support as you bravely walk this unfamiliar path.
NOTE: I write about my faith so this book may not speak to you in your personal journey. However, I strive to be inclusive and encouraging (and NOT preachy) and women who are not Christians have enjoyed reading it as well.
