Capacity in Parenthood
Parenthood can stretch you in ways you never expected. This class explores how to stay present with the discomforts of early parenthood, not by pushing through or pretending everything is fine, but by building the capacity to meet this season with more steadiness, self-compassion, and care.
Together, we look at the emotional realities that so many parents face, including exhaustion, identity shifts, overwhelm, and the disorienting transition into motherhood. You’ll also be introduced to the concept of matrescence, the profound transformation that can happen as a person becomes a mother, and why this season can feel both tender and destabilizing at the same time.
Rather than seeing hard feelings as a sign that something is wrong, this class helps normalize the mixed emotions that often come with early parenthood. It offers a gentler framework for understanding yourself in this season, and a reminder that struggle does not mean failure. It means you are human.
