‘Empowered mother’
A 10 week Parenting Course + Group Maturation Coaching for Mothers
Welcome
I’m presuming that you’re here because you want some kind of change.
You want to change the relationship that you have with your child, the way that you mother them sometimes.
You want to change some aspect of your life that impacts the way that you show up for your kids.
Maybe it’s some of this, maybe it’s all of it, maybe it’s none of it…but there’s something that you want to start doing differently.
Whatever the reason, I’m really glad that you’re here.
Before I tell you more about the ‘Empowered mother’ programme, I hope you’ll allow me to share a little of my story and the passion behind this course that I’ve put together…
My story
Becoming a mother has been the biggest eye opener in my life.
It’s been so confronting, it’s pushed my emotions to its limits (both the joy and the pain!), it’s been excruciating in its intensity.
I was used to being able to read books, learn from others, ‘progress’ and get better.
So I initially devoured all the parenting books under the sun, to try and understand my kids and how to parent in the best way.
And this definitely helped. I now had some tools that I could fall back on whenever various situations arose (on a daily basis…!).
Hooray! I thought. But not for long.
Because I also found that ‘knowing’ stuff wasn’t enough. In my head, I knew how I should handle certain situations. I knew the theory behind what works and what doesn’t.
But in the heat of the moment, I just couldn’t use them. I’d be so angry, frustrated, resentful that all my ‘knowledge’ went out of the window.
And after a while I realised that it was my own internal work that was missing. I needed to delve deeper into why certain things and behaviours trigger me. I need to go on my own journey into why I couldn’t show up as the mother I wanted to be, from a place of unconditional love for my kids which I rationally know is always there (even if I doubt it sometimes…!). I need to explore how I could empower myself to create the motherhood experience that I desired.
So this is the reason why I wanted to bring these things together.
Born out of a need that I identified through becoming a mother, a need that I didn’t feel was met by anything else out there that I knew of.
Parenting and maturation coaching - what is it?
Let’s start with the Parenting course
I’ve trained with an organisation called ‘Sharing Parenting*’ who have created an evidence based, award winning programme on parenting.
I believe this covers everything you need to know on how to navigate the highs as well as the lows of parenting children.
You may have already read lots of books on parenting but I personally know that it’s always useful to re-visit these theories as it’s so easy to forget in our busy lives.
We will cover key topics such as identifying their needs, different parenting styles, and dealing with challenging behaviour.
And let’s combine it with maturation coaching
Maturation coaching seeks to get to the root cause of patterns that you feel stuck in, and take a good look at reactions and behaviours that seem to repeat itself over and over.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve never felt my emotions as intensely as I’ve done since having children. And that’s because children shine a light on all that’s unhealed within us.
And so we’ll look at what it is that our kids are bringing to the surface for us, we’ll look at the blindspots that have been driving our actions for so long and support you in outgrowing them.
And in doing so allow you to re-discover who you’ve always been - underneath the armoury and coping strategies that have felt like second nature for so long.
My intention for you through this course is for you to feel empowered to show up in your wholeness - as a woman, as a mother, as a human being capable of so much more than you’re even aware of.
How does it work?
We’ll kick off the programme with a 1:1 coaching session with me, to understand the root cause of your parenting challenges. It’s may not be what you think it is, and we’ll spend an hour exploring what this is and where it may have come from.
There’ll be another 1:1 session available to you, for you to access whenever you feel the need.
The course itself is a 10 week programme. It will consist of a pre-recorded lessons on parenting topics as below:
Week 1: Understanding the parenting role
Week 2: How different parenting styles impacts our children’s behaviour
Week 3: Identifying our children’s needs as well as ours
Week 4: Understanding challenging behaviour
Week 5: How to listen and create better connection
Week 6 & 7: Discipline that works
Week 8: The long lasting impact of ‘labelling’
Week 9: Building self esteem
Week 10: Review and wrap up
This will be accompanied with some self reflection questions to consider within your life. Because if you’re finding something challenging with children, I’m pretty sure that this will be coming up in all aspects of your life (even if you’re not conscious about it as yet).
For example, if you’re struggling to set boundaries with your children, I’m pretty sure this will be the same for all areas of your life.
Likewise, if you find yourself adopting an aggressive parenting style, this style will probably be dominant in a lot of your interactions with others.
We’ll dig deeper into how it’s manifesting in your life and how it’s impacting your relationships.
There will be a group coaching session every 2 weeks for you to bring anything to be coached on.
There will also be a whats app group to support you in the day to day things that are coming up for you.
This course is for you if:
You want to improve your relationship and have a deeper connection with your children
You want tools to be able to deal with challenging situations and behaviours, and you want to understand why this feels so triggering for you at times.
You want to learn more about your children as well as learn about yourself
You want to become a better role model for your children. They can only be what they can see, and you want to start living the life that you truly want for your kids as well as yourself.
You’re ready to make changes to make a long lasting impact on not just your children but on you as well, breaking generational trauma cycles that have been present for decades, if not centuries.
You want a safe and non judgement environment with likeminded parents who have similar goals to you – to raise children in a conscious way and thereby raise the woman and mother within you that feels truly aligned to who you are
This course isn’t for you if:
You want a quick fix to address the challenges you’re experiencing, this work will take time
You’re not ready to explore your own coping mechanisms that are keeping you stuck in uncomfortable and familiar patterns
You’re not ready to make a change in how you’re showing up in your relationship with your child

One last thing I wanted to leave you with…
Here are some core beliefs that I have around this work and how our children can show us the way back to who we are, in our authenticity:
I believe that our children hold up a mirror to all the parts of us that are unhealed.
I believe that our children provide a gateway to our re-discovery of who we are, underneath the armoury and coping mechanisms that feel second nature to us.
I believe that if we can heal ourselves, we can heal our children, and thereby heal the world.
I believe that it’s never too late to do this work, our internal shift in perspective will have ripple effects on everyone we come into contact with - not least our nearest and dearest.
I believe that our children are our biggest role models when it comes to getting in touch with our authentic selves - if we can be present enough to notice it.
I believe that if we can see the world through the lens that our children see it, it will transform our lives.
