I want your motherhood to be powerful, instead of a battle with identity loss.

Do you miss your intellect, creativity, and spark?

​

Are you lost in a wild new territory that you don't know how to navigate?

​

Are you suffering from birth trauma, burnout, or angst?

​

Do you feel guilty for wanting a motherhood that sacrifices less of who you are?

​

After being steamrolled by postpartum life, I left my job at Yale University to develop the first coaching practice devoted to mothers' sense of self. 

 

I'm Meredith Shepard, Ph.D., and I want you to have a motherhood that is in symbiosis with who you are.

READ WHY I BUILT THIS

 

I wanted to know if I was alone in experiencing motherhood as identity loss. (I was not.)

​

 

...I built this for the mothers that novelist Lauren Groff describes seeing "in glimpses, bent like shepherdess crooks, scanning the floor for tiny Legos or half-chewed grapes or the people they once were, slumped in the corners.”
