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.

Love this episode? Send me a message here!
Kimberly and I talk about the metamorphosis she went through when her first child had her first grandchild. She talked about the joy and unexpected aspects of becoming a grandma and how her relationship with her daughter deepened and shifted.
Becoming a grandparent is its own journey, and I’m so happy Kimberly came on the podcast to share her unique story.
BIO: Kimberly Yavorski is a freelance writer with bylines in a variety of publications, including The Hill, Vox Media, Reader’s Digest, Next Avenue, and has been a regular contributor to several parenting publications, most recently Parenting Teens and Tweens. She shares her thoughts on parenting older kids on her Facebook page Life on the Other Side, Parenting Teens and Beyond and is currently working on a book by the same title. She recently became a grandma and quickly realized this is much more than a new “hat;” the birth of this baby not only created new family roles, but also made her think about motherhood in a new way.
