Motherhood was not what it said on the tin
But I couldn’t admit the truth to myself…
I never dreamed of becoming a mother
I knew I would be one,
I thought I would like it,
I knew it was good for me.
But it was never my dream.
I was never chatting with the female side of the table. I didn’t care about practical household things.
I read books.
I cared about ideas.
Motherhood was incidental
So when I became a mother, I had no idea how to look after myself or a growing family.
It felt difficult, stressful,
chaotic and absolutely endless.
I felt like I was missing out on life.
I was always behind.
It was an endless cycle of frustration
Frustration at the work
Frustration at the world
BUT
Most of all the frustration was at
MYSELF
I also worried about
the impact
on my children
BUT
I didn't know how to escape the
CONSTANT NEGATIVITY
And there was no way I was telling anyone

After all, I believed in motherhood.
But instead of feeling joyful,
I was resentful, unfulfilled and unmotivated.
Until one day I discovered a chassidish lady
who was teaching "The Three Principles"
My inner yenta heard her calling
I had to see this lady talking psychology
A quick search found me a video
detailing her recovery from depression
and her discovery of inner peace
In one hour, I saw that my entire life was not what I thought it was.
I had to know more
Thus began my decade+ search to understand:
1. How experience works.
2. How to connect with who we truly are.
3. How to become productive humans and live with inner peace and joy.
Two interesting things
I’ve learned along the way:

You can be happy in the most unlikely situations
You can be sad/anxious/down and be totally ok
You see I've seen many people fall
for this basic misunderstanding:
So many people think the aim is to be happy and upbeat in every moment.
But what I discovered after years of exploring The Three Principles, attending seminars, webinars, courses and coaching is,
That’s NOT the point at all!!
Once I saw what emotions were…
They no longer had the power to threaten me.
So what are we aiming for?
What I've seen is:
To Live a Life of Peace and Joy
The point is to be fully, unapologetically HUMAN.
I started coaching by accident
Soon I was giving classes and training as a coach

Looking back, it is impossible not to see:
Every stage was guided
One thing leads to another
One choice opens up opportunities
One delay leads to new possibilities
We can live a life of guilt and regret
or we can choose to look
and find the guidance
IN EVERYTHING
I have blamed myself
I have beat myself up
I have stressed
about my lacks
I have agonised
about what I should be
Until the day
I stopped
And in that moment I Changed
That was when I started to actually
live my values.
Because
That was when I experienced on the inside,
what I had only known intellectually.
And that's when I truly saw
how to raise my children:
Trusting Inner Guidance
Trusting my connection
Trusting their connection
And trusting that mistakes are part of
the game of life
Life-changing
This is the point where I invite you to be a part of this and embrace your own change.
If you are thoughtful, inquisitive, and you want to get more out of your life down here,
If you want to be able to:
Stop huffing and puffing
Leave aside worry and fear
Enjoy the myriad tasks of motherhood
Start living in the present
Know what to do
Feel confident in your ability to do life well
Feel confident in your ability NOT to ruin your kids lives!
Live a deeper connected life
and finally!
Raise confident, resilient kids
Then this may be for you
This year!
