Motherhood Era: Matrescence workshop for mums about identity

Wondering who you are and what the f*ck has happened to you since you had a baby? You are not alone! Welcome to your motherhood era - you’ve lost your pelvic floor and your identity.

Becoming a mother is an identity shift of epic proportions. It's easy to feel like you've lost yourself or that you're a failure. Maybe you get mum guilt for the decisions you make or perhaps motherhood isn't quite what you expected it to be. It takes so much of you, and from you, that you don’t always get the space you need to figure out who you are now. 

Explore your motherhood era with like-minded mums. Each session we’ll use prompts from fiction, essays, poems and yes, even psychology and sociology to discuss identity, relationships and loneliness, and learn about the concept of matrescence (the identity shift of motherhood) in a safe, relaxed environment. This session is on identity but join us in November and December when we'll be chatting relationships and loneliness too.

These groups are to help you make sense of your identity and empower you with knowledge so you walk away knowing how f*cking brilliant you are.

It’s free to attend but donations are welcome to cover the cost of the room. 

Some kind words from people who've been to my sessions before

"Hearing Susie talk about it as a transition to motherhood made me realise that I didn’t have to feel guilty about those feelings I had when my babies were born. The workshop was freeing and another step forward for womanhood! I loved Susie’s honesty, humour and forthright way of presenting."

"This is such important knowledge to share and could make a huge difference to staff and their mental health whilst on maternity leave"
