But this hasn't been the case. Motherhood has changed you more than you thought it would and it's NOT your fault.
Achieve Your Career Ambitions Without Sacrificing Quality Time with your Family, your Health or Yourself
You’ve spent years building your career, climbing the corporate ladder, leading teams and breaking ceilings.
But since becoming a mum, it feels like you’re constantly running on empty. You used to love your job, yet somehow, you now end every day feeling like you’ve failed, both at work and at home.
You’re exhausted, snappy and stretched too thin and no matter how many lists you make, it never feels enough.
Put simply, you're overwhelmed and in desperate need of some career clarity.
This isn’t the life you worked so hard for. And it doesn’t have to stay this way.

Has the thought "What do I really want" crossed your mind since becoming a mum?
I bet you thought...
-
You would continue climbing the corporate ladder after having children without constantly feeling exhausted, overwhelmed or suffering mum guilt
-
You wouldn't question your professional identity even with a young family
-
You could seamlessly balance your career ambitions with motherhood without feeling out-of-control on autopilot for much of the time
-
Your driven and ambitious nature would adapt effortlessly to your new life because you're a hard-worker and high-achiever
-
You would find a network of women in senior leadership positions to inspire and challenge you
-
You would continue to have time for "YOU" even as a busy working mum and would certainly not be a snappy mum who often "loses it"

You know you need to do something about how you feel but are not sure what
You have spoken with friends and family, read loads and googled but you haven't found the answers you are looking for yet!
You know you are highly capable, you know you will succeed and you know you can be the mum you aspire to be!
Like you,
I never expected to feel like I did on having children
Before I discovered Matrescence, I was a Big 4 Transformation Director and Exec Leadership Coach, leading global teams, chasing deadlines and trying to prove I could “do it all” whilst raising three children under four and being the family bread winner.
I had amazing career opportunities ahead of me and I thought I knew what "success"was.
Yet I was facing burnout, always anxious and completely disconnected from who I used to be.
Then I discovered the word Matrescence, the transition into motherhood that no one talks about and it changed everything.
Today, I’m a certified ICF-accredited Matrescence Coach, NLP Practitioner, entrepreneur, CEO and Founder of Thrive in Motherhood and mum to 3 children, so have first-hand experience of how tough it can be!
However I've made the most of the opportunities that motherhood has given me, and I’ve now ,helped hundreds of ambitious women just like you, go from surviving to thriving in just 16 weeks.
Because when you understand how to REACT — Reconnect with what's truly important, build your Emotion Resilience, Accept who you now are and Commit to a new version of success, you can truly THRIVE.
You no longer just “get by” in the juggle, you can lead your life again.

And you also know the consequences of doing nothing ... you're
-
Career feels stalled and you’re losing motivation.
-
Stuck in decision paralysis, craving clarity about your next move.
-
Facing burnout and constantly exhausted, at work and at home.
-
Resenting your partner as motherhood feels nothing like you imagined.
-
Wondering why every other mum seems to have it together.
-
Stress and anxiety are starting to take a toll on your mental health.
-
Relationships are feeling strained, leaving you feeling isolated and unseen.
-
Questioning everything, even motherhood itself, and the guilt feels unbearable.

And so I bet this sounds like you?
You're juggling too much. The mental load of motherhood is so much more than you expected.
The career that once defined you now feels like a burden not a source of pride.
You used to love your work but motherhood has changed everything. You're confused and anxious about your future career direction, are feeling stuck in decision-paralysis and craving more "balance".
You’re running on empty, trying to do it all yet constantly feeling like you’re failing both at home and at work. You're facing burnout unless something changes.
You miss you. The confident, energetic, purposeful version who used to know exactly what she wanted.
Now, you’re tired, uncertain and desperate for headspace to think clearly again.
And you often wonder if every other mum feels like this too; the exhaustion and constant overwhelm are crippling.
If the above resonates, keep reading!

Imagine if you ...
Woke up every morning full of energy instead of dread
Felt confident and empowered in your career so you could actually enjoy work without mum guilt
Felt aligned at work and at home so you were always fulfilled and balanced
Could stick to your boundaries, trust your gut and say "No" without explaining yourself
Feel calm and in control even when your diary is looking crazy
Could laugh and play with your children without your to-do-list running through your head
Could finally feel like YOU again, not a version of you always running on auto-pilot
Could redefine success on your own terms so you felt like you were winning again and could ignore the constant comparison and judgment of others

You may well be thinking, I haven't got the headspace right now, but as my client Siobhain says, the practical tools helped her to find more balance in her busy life.
"Katherine has crafted a competent skills based course to help mothers better manage their complex lives. I found it very educational and practical. A great aid to balancing one's own needs with the demands of a career and motherhood."

You may now be wondering "When should I start" ..... like Charlotte, all of my clients have little people in their lives so time is precious, yet they also know that now is as good as any to step forward in their career.
I took part in the REACT programme during my transition back into work after maternity leave. Katherine has been insightful and has shared ideas and tools which I am using in my day to day life as a working Mum, as well as when thinking about the "bigger picture" aspects of my career and family life. The group coaching calls enabled me to learn from other mothers and helped me to realise that I am not alone in the challenges I experience.I have gained more confidence and clarity through taking part in the programme and would highly recommend it to other mothers!

Frequently Asked Questions
What's discussed on a Discovery Call?
We will discuss your goals and challenges, where you are now and what you want to achieve in the next few months. You will come away with some "quick wins" and if you are unfamiliar with coaching, I will let you know how it works. I will explain REACT in more detail and how I could support you should you want to work with me.
What happens after I enrol?
You get instant access to the REACT platform to get you moving forward quickly and we'll get your initial 121 call booked in. You'll need to complete an initial coaching questionnaire before this and your first group call is likely to take place within 4 weeks of registering.
Who is REACT for?
Ambitious, career-driven mums in senior leadership who want to achieve career success and be fully present at home - without burning out. ( I have had vets, lawyers, entrepreneurs, marketeers, army officers and management consultants on my programme to name but a few.)
How long is the programme?
16 weeks of guided support, weekly coaching and accountability to help you create real, lasting change.
What if I don't have time for this?
That’s exactly why you need it. REACT is designed to give you time back through boundaries, clarity and systems that work.
How much work is involved?
Group coaching calls run weekly for around 75 minutes.
Between sessions, you’ll have space to reflect and deepen your learning through a short weekly workbook.
The more you engage, the more you’ll gain from REACT.
You’ll also have access to a library of bonus resources including videos, tools and recommended reading to explore the topics that matter most to you.
What if I can't make all the sessions?
All sessions are recorded so you can catch up whenever it suits you.
