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.

The Motherhood Metamorphosis is BACK! Welcome to season 5!
Amy Betters-Midvedt and I talk about all things parenting teens--this episode is authentic and real and is for every parent, whether you are in the teen years now or years away.
We discuss Amy's new book and the wisdom she brings to topics like
acting out,
clamming up,
making sure they are OK vs. making sure I am OK,
boundaries,
co-dependence,
changing the narrative of “this is what caring moms do”,
giving yourself a mom “time out”,
taking opportunities to repair the relationship,
accepting “their way” vs “your way”,
choosing the hills you die on,
creating and choosing connection,
and the woes of having teens clean the kitchen
We hope you laugh and find solidarity with us in whatever parenting stage you are in!
