HUMAN + WOMEN + MOTHER
Hey Beautiful Mama, I’m Charlie. your biggest advocate & loudest cheerleader.
I’m a Life & Motherhood Coach, Matrescence Activist & Educator, CTC Master Therapist, Yoga Teacher, Writer, Women’s Circle Facilitator, Spiritual Realist & soon to be host of the Rebel Rising Podcast.
MY STORY
A journey of remembering, revealing & receiving.
Let me preface by saying that I love being a mother, I do not believe that a mother
requires any further title unless she decides she wants one or financially needs one. In all honesty I didn’t think I needed anything other than my family & my children, but that was before I became a mother. Eight years ago, I transitioned from women-hood to motherhood, from Charlie to mummy, from self employed to staying at home, from happily married to falling apart.
Whilst I adjusted to the role of mother with relative ease, what I was NOT prepared for in anyway was ‘motherhood‘, this being everything else that comes with being a mother. The external pressure, judgment & expectations both within & outside of the home. What I was NOT prepared for were the shifts that took place within my marriage, with friendships & the way I felt about my new body. I didn’t expect my health to decline, nor did I imagine my sense of self worth would diminish when I no longer had a monetary value to contribute. I always loved to spend time with friends & alone but gradually over time I realised I was doing neither of these things. I was trying be perfect in a system that primes us for burnout & feelings of failure, after all we are women, we are mothers, we SHOULD do, be & have it all.
I felt unseen, unheard & undervalued & whilst I loved being a mother, I was hating motherhood & over time I felt more & more pressure to prove myself, I felt invisible, insignificant & ashamed that I was wasting my “full potential”.
So I tried & by the time I had my second son I was well & truly flying that super-mum flag, on paper I was living the very definition of ‘success.’ Accept I was drowning & those I love the most were getting the worst of me. I had become the opposite to who I wanted & knew myself to be, I was angry, exhausted & resentful. I would fall asleep most nights in tears promising myself I would do better tomorrow, be better tomorrow.
On paper everything looked perfect, successful businesses, financial security, 17 year relationship, incredible children BUT I knew there was a better way to experience life, business & motherhood. One day that discomfort of knowing there was a better way, a different way became all too much & it was in that moment my entire life shifted.
Parked up by the beach I told my husband that with or without him I was creating a new life. I was letting go of everything, I was investing my two most valuable recourses, (time & energy) into deep rest, healing & being a mother. I had no desire to do, be or have anything else accept freedom, time & space to realign & redefine all areas of my life. I wanted to sell the house, it’s contents, the businesses & travel. So that’s exactly what we did & once I finally got out of my own way everything began to unravel.
I have & continue to redefine ALL areas of my life, I am still very much on this path, walking beside you because we are forever the student of life & right now we are being called to rise as the truest act of rebellion, to THRIVE in life, in love, in health, in wealth & in motherhood.
Truth be told I never saw myself doing this work in this way, I didn’t seek to share this, I was guided too & so this is my promise to you,
‘My promise is first & foremost to myself & my family, I promise to honor this season of my life, to be the example, to honor myself, my values, my boundaries & my vision for what is possible & true for me, for us.
My promise is to then lead with love, to pay it forward, to nurture, nourish, inspire, empower & support you. The Mother, so you too can redefine success on your terms, so you too can rewrite how you want to experience each day in a way that honors the mother you are, the season you’re in & the women you are becoming. ‘
I believe that together we can change the way we view & experience motherhood in a modern world & I believe that together, we will.
