THRIVE IN MOTHERHOOD
Enabling career-driven women to successfully transition through early motherhood so they can thrive as mums both personally and professionally
YOU'VE FOUND MY PAGE BECAUSE MAYBE YOU'RE A MUM WHO HAS...
Spent your life building a career you’re really proud of and it being a large part of your identity to now feeling a bit lost and like a completely different person since having children. You might even be grieving your pre-children life.
Achieved a management or leadership position at work but are constantly feeling overwhelmed spinning too many plates and are often surrounded by men who simply just don’t get it.
Loved forging a career path but have now lost total confidence in your abilities and don't know what good even looks like now.
Realised that since becoming a mother you can’t give 110% to everything which has left you feeling resentful that your partner’s life appears unaffected by parenthood, yet yours has radically changed.
Had a very clear career plan before having kids and now you don’t know what you want or need in your new life as a career-woman and mother.
Had some great senior role models in the past yet now many of them are leading lifestyles you don't want, leaving you confused and even more unsure about your future.
Lacking headspace to think and craving "ME" time but just can't fit it into your chaotic schedule and don't have the energy to make it happen.

IF WORDS LIKE...
Overwhelmed, guilt, resentment, anxious, burnt out and confused spring to mind then I’m really pleased you’ve found my page!
I’m Katherine and I’m on a mission to help career-driven women like yourself find their feet during early motherhood so you can thrive in work and at home without suffering burnout. This transition into motherhood, defined as Matrescence, a little-known term, is the biggest life-change any woman goes through and results in a huge identity shift which is sadly, largely neglected by our society.
There are doula's, lactation consultants, post-natal specialists available in the early days of motherhood when the initial focus is on the baby.
But as our babies become toddlers, it is the mothers, like you, who need support. We, the mums, are often forgotten about and are just expected to "get on with it" whilst continuing to strive forward in our careers and quite often dealing with aging parents too.
I support ambitious mums to thrive both at home and at work. I don’t just support those on their journey back into the workplace after mat leave but I also work with female leaders who want to re-frame success and better understand themselves as a career-driven mum so they can achieve career success without burnout whilst also being the mum they aspire to be.
Why does this matter?
BECAUSE IT HAPPENED TO ME AND I’M DETERMINED TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM
I worked as a Big-4 Transformation Director; my identity was forged in my career and I was immensely proud of what I had achieved. Cut to having my third child and I was grieving my pre-children life, I had lost my sense of self and wanted to regain control of my life again.
Without the support of a coach and without fully processing my transition into motherhood I realised I was headed for complete burnout. I needed a reset to ditch “survival mode” and start thriving again.
That is when I learnt about the word Matrescence. And with that knowledge, armed with a new identity, new boundaries and a certainty in my abilities I am now the Founder and CEO of Thrive In Motherhood.
Motherhood and the word “Matrescence” were the catalyst I needed to start my own business, achieving a lifetime goal.
Now as a Certified Matrescence Coach, I love supporting women to turn their emotions around and better navigate their motherhood journey alongside their careers.
I support my clients to RECONNECT with themselves, REPRIORITISE their wellbeing and REGAIN control of their time, emotions and health again.
And I'm on a mission to get the word discussed from boardrooms to kitchen tables and from offices to play parks.
I feel incredibly empowered, energised and excited about the future and proud of what I have achieved with 3 very young children. It’s not always easy but life never is!
I also manage a brilliant team and I get to work with some incredible, inspiring mothers from across the globe. Women who have forged successful careers in medicine, law, finance and consulting or as entrepreneurs, all of whom are looking to ditch “survival mode” and start thriving again!

HI, I'M KATHERINE
I am an ICF accredited Matrescence Coach and Motherhood Coach, former Big-4 Transformation Director, Army Verteran and mum of three.
Having sold out my first group coaching programme only 8 weeks after signing my first client I also have a proven process to move you from surviving to thriving in only 2 months!
I am a more mature mum, having had two of my three children during lock-down and in my early 40’s. I love a challenge, am an eternal optimist and am now enjoying a slower pace of life with my family and two chickens despite the chaos of the early years of motherhood.
I love learning! As an advocate of life-long learning, I continually aim to seek out the next challenge.
I also love leading, influencing and supporting others on their own personal development journeys.
It therefore felt very natural to start a coaching business supporting other driven career-minded mums like me.
