CLIENT RESULTS
This program unlocked a powerful mantra for me that allowed me to redesign my work schedule, my energy management both at home and at work, and even our caregiver support systems… Without Lauren’s guidance, I simply don’t know how many years it would have taken me to get here. I feel so lucky I made the investment early, even in the whirlwind of post-partum blues, aches and dizziness. She saved my life from becoming defined by others! What bigger gift is there, especially for a new mom. My gratitude is bottomless!
—Liya S.B
It was so powerful to be in a small group with other women and really break it down and say all the things you don't hear people saying. The Redefine Intensive gives you an actual framework to figure out what matters to you and how to start shifting your life to support yourself through what feels like a total identity crisis. The tools were really helpful and I still go back to them a lot. It made me give myself so much kindness and I felt so empowered by all the possibilities ahead of me."
—Kate M.
“In doing the values work today, it was very tender what emerged. I spent 45 minutes on this piece alone and felt like I could have done 4 hours. Such good prompts!
If my best friend has another baby, I'm getting her this program as her gift."
—Brit G.
“The program workbook is so awesome because it really does allow for the necessary exercise of being messy and getting all your thoughts and feelings down on paper. And when you start the work of redefining your values, so much comes out - but there's a clear process to distill it and to create practical manifestations of my values in every day life. We are making big shifts in our family… this work is worth doing."
—Sarah A.
Join the Redefine Intensive
During this 8 week intimate group experience, you will be guided through a proven process of redefining your identity postpartum. You will gain access to life-changing reframes around your value as woman and mother, a new set of personal and family values that drive your choices, a new lens for honoring your unique strengths and gifts, and a new definition of success that aligns with the woman and mother you are becoming.
Motherhood is a powerful catalyst for making life pivots across many areas of our life, including career, relationships, or our health and wellbeing. The Redefine process gives you the space, structure, and support you need to chart your path forward.
Using the lens of matrescence and my 3 part framework for navigating the transition to motherhood (restore / redefine / redesign), you will begin to unplug from the narratives causing the most frustration and overwhelm and begin to plug into new narratives and ways of being grounded in your truth and intuitive feminine wisdom.
YOU will leave this program with:
A deep understanding of all that has shifted for you since becoming a mother
A new way of valuing your role and work as a mother
A clear set of values that support your decision-making, daily rhythms, and life direction
A new understanding of your strengths and unique gifts as woman and mother
A new definition of success for yourself in this current season of life
Practical tools and templates to redesign your rhythms and routines to reflect what matters most to you right now
“I showed up to this 16 weeks postpartum and feeling like so much was broken with my body, mind and spirit. I've learned that my body/mind/spirit is/was exactly where it should be, exactly on time (on Mother Nature's time), and it's everything else that's broken. Thank you for helping me heal and find resilience during this difficult period in my life."

This is a fit for you if…
You're a new mom seeking clarity on your next chapter.
You're feeling overwhelmed, scattered, and torn between motherhood, career, and your personal passions.
You're longing to feel grounded, nourished and clear.
You feel like the postpartum fog has lifted and you're ready to process all that has changed and chart a way forward.
You want to be intentional with how you experience this season of your life, but it's almost impossible to carve out the time and space to do so.
Group accountability has been helpful for you in the past.
"This program should be required material for any new mom. The connections made, the values uncovered… just really invaluable work. Priceless."

there is a whisper within yoU
telling you that beING IN A CONSTANT STATE OF OVERWHELM AND HUSTLE
… is not how you want to experience this sacred life transition.
Telling you that THE intensity of motherhood goes way beyond what society recognizes
… and that you must first learn to value motherhood differently for yourself first before anyone else.
telling you that making space to process THIS RADICAL IDENTITY SHIFT
… is the greatest gift you can give yourself and your children.

Certified matrescence GUIDE, IDENTITY DOULA, & MOTHER OF TWO
As a newborn mother, I found myself lost in the overwhelm of new motherhood while simultaneously in awe of the expansion and beauty of it all. Changes were careening across all areas of my life, from my body to my relationships to the career I had fought so hard for, and I often wondered… Why didn’t anyone tell me about this? Then I heard the word “matrescence.” And everything changed.
I'm a certified Matrescence guide, aka “identity doula" and mother of two focused on supporting mothers through the profound shifts that take place in the early years of new motherhood. I blend my operational, systems-loving mindset with feminine wisdom and divine space holding to guide mothers on their journey to do things differently.
I provide the space + structure + support. You bring the magic that is your new self unfolding.
FAQ
WHEN DOES THE GROUP START?
The final 2024 session is underway. Join the waitlist to be the first notified for 2025 cohort dates.
ARE WE MEETING LIVE AND WILL THERE BE ACCESS TO RECORDINGS?
Yes, all weekly sessions will be done live via Zoom. The magic in this experience is fully realized when all group participants commit to attending all sessions live. Of course, life happens, so you will have access to the recording within 1 day of the live session.
I'M EXPECTING/IMMEDIATE POSTPARTUM, IS THIS RIGHT FOR ME?
This specific experience is designed for new moms who've had a chance to get their feet under them and are feeling like they are out of the newborn survival mode (generally in the 4-6+ months postpartum stage). In the early days and months postpartum, I recommend focusing as much as possible on restoring your body and spirit and adjusting to your new life.
WHAT IS THE WEEKLY TIME COMMITMENT?
The weekly live sessions are 60 minutes long. Every week you'll receive content and written prompts to reflect and work on that we will then discuss and share together on the weekly live sessions. To get the most out of this experience, I recommend setting aside approximately 2 hours per week (or more if you have the space!) to complete the workbook prompts and attend the live sessions. Past participants have found it helpful to block out ~2 hours for the weekly live session to spend time journaling/integrating before and after the weekly live session.
WHAT IS MATRESCENCE?
Matrescence is the complete transformation and identity shift of a woman as she moves through motherhood - psychological, social, emotional, physical, economic, cultural and spiritual. It is similar to adolescence in that it is a developmental passage a woman goes through that serves as the catalyst for a profound shift across many areas of her life.
