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.

Kirstyn Wegner: Fostering family, love and relationships
Love this episode? Send me a message here!
Kirstyn Wegner lives in rural Minnesota with her high school sweetheart husband and neurodivergent daughter, along with a bunch of feral cats, a revolving cast of foster children, and a pesky epilepsy diagnosis. She is a recovering pessimist who teaches high school English, collects old books, directs plays and musicals, loves rock concerts, travels as widely as time and budget will allow, and writes when she can find the time. Visit her on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/thefrustratedepileptic and Instagram @finding.glitter.in.the.litter.
Kirstyn narrates her unique journey to motherhood through foster care and adoption. We talk about the challenges of building love and relationships with children and their biological parents and how Kirstyn developed a special relationship with her daughter's birth mom.
Kirstyn's story is heartfelt and encouraging, especially in learning to accept and love our children and families through unique and challenging circumstances.
