She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self.

They say that when a baby is born, so is a mother. But while you are there to help your baby grow into the person he or she is meant to be, who is there to help you? Many women feel lost and alone when they become mothers, wondering “who AM I now?”
Sometimes it feels like transformation from woman to mother is as radical as a caterpillar’s transformation into a butterfly.
Did you know that inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar literally turns into goop before it rearranges itself into a butterfly? This podcast is about the goop, what soul transformation looks like as you transition from being a woman to a mom.
Your baby’s growth matters. But yours does too. You’re not alone. I’m your host, Brittany Meng.

Trust your gut Make your voice louder Lean on your intuition Throughout the 2021 podcast interviews, I started noticing a theme: Across the various topics, the amazing women I spoke to kept coming back to the idea of trusting your intuition as a mom. But I got to thinking—as a new mom, I had NO CLUE what it meant to trust my gut. How do I make my own voice stronger in my head? How do I learn to trust my intuition? What are some truths I could learn that will help me develop strength, confidence, and inner peace as a mother? I’ll be talking about Learning to Trust and How to Strengthen your Intuition as a Mom in my first solo episode on The Motherhood Metamorphosis. I’ll share personal stories about when I DID and DID NOT listen to my gut, what the outcomes were, and how I’ve learned to trust and strengthen my mother’s intuition in my 14 years as a mom.

In this solo episode, I share my own struggle with the Good Mother/Bad Mother narratives that play in my head, sharing stories from my early motherhood years, how I've changed and grown, and how I still struggle to re-frame the narratives that I receive from our culture, my past, my family of origin, and my own inner pressure to be a "good mom." Most importantly, I talk about how being a Good Mom isn't about fulfilling a list of standards or rules, but how it relies on the unique relationship between mother and child and how to lean into that relationship in order to make those inner voices quieter and the bonds with our children stronger.
