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.

Shelby Spear: The stories we tell ourselves as mothers
Love this episode? Send me a message here!
My conversation with Shelby Spear was gold--at least for me! I hope you feel the same. I gained so much from her experience and wisdom as a contemplative mom of 3 grown children.
Shelby's honesty and authenticity about her personal struggles and healing is inspiring. We talked at length about the stories we tell ourselves and how to weed out the lies from our minds. It it is up to us, as women, to seek healing so that we can be the women and mothers that will bring life and health into our world and families.
Quotable Quotes: “We want our kids to believe all these things about themselves—that they are worthy and valued and they have gifts and talents and they can do whatever they want in life—we build them up! But if we’re also not building THIS [presses hand to heart] up, then they can see how we’re treating ourselves. Modeling that is so huge too. It’s not just what we say.”
"The more we can really question the stories we’re telling and ask ourselves, "Does this align with what God would say about me…and even what MY OWN KIDS would say about me?!" They see such a better version than we would admit or even what see in in mirror!"
