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.

This is the 4th and final episode of our surrogacy series! In this episode, Shay narrates her experience of seeing her daughter being born and the overwhelming joy and emotions she felt.
We then talk about her early motherhood experience and the huge shift in responsibility and identity she felt as her early motherhood progressed.
I share some wisdom about the metamorphosis of motherhood as a mom of 5 and Shay shares her heart with honesty and vulnerability about her non-traditional journey in motherhood.
BIO: Shay Garcia Roy lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, close to family, with her partner Tyler, their 2-year-old daughter Ruby Ann, and their little dog Zero. After years of struggling with infertility, Shay and Tyler embarked on an IVF and surrogacy journey that brought profound lessons, joy, and gratitude. This experience has deepened their trust in humanity, science, love, and family. Passionate about sharing her story, Shay hopes to inspire others to feel confident exploring options for growing their families.
