This conversation explores the often-overlooked connection between motherhood and entrepreneurship.

Through these transitions, she learned to build a business that reflected her values, honoured her capacity, and supported a life rooted in alignment. We discuss how tending to her own wellbeing became essential to this evolution, highlighting self-care as a key pillar for sustaining capacity, alignment, and long-term growth in both her business and her life as a mother.

The conversation offers heartfelt insights into balancing identity, emotional labor, and the ongoing transformation that defines motherhood. Meet Jocelyn Jocelyn a mom of three—now 20, 18, and 14—her role has shifted through the years, but the heart of it has stayed the same. She's always tried to be someone my kids can talk to, rely on, and be completely themselves around. From the start, she believed they were equals, learning from one another, and that they were teaching her just as much as she was guiding them. Parenting consciously has meant embracing her imperfections, making mistakes, and learning to have conversations with her kids though those moments. Her work in mental health has shaped how she shows up as a parent. As the author of Claim Your Brain, a mental health coach, and founder of TrU, she spends her days helping others cultivate clarity, compassion, and resilience, and those same principles guide her at home.  Timestamps Introducing Jocelyn Pepe (00:00:34) Jocelyn’s Identity and Connection to Motherhood (00:02:28) Parenting Philosophy and Children’s Agency (00:06:23) Stages of Parenting and Children’s Ages (00:09:00) Every Family is Unique (00:12:12) Jocelyn’s Upbringing and Early Motherhood Aspirations (00:13:04) Motherhood Expectations vs. Reality (00:14:30) Lack of Emotional Support in Motherhood (00:15:35) Mental Health and Physical Changes in Motherhood (00:18:16) Societal Gaps in Maternal Support (00:21:49) The Three P’s: Puberty, Pregnancy, Perimenopause (00:23:43) Emotional Weight of Parenting Through Child’s Growth (00:25:52) Mama Bear Instinct and Biological Changes (00:27:10) Holding Space for Motherhood’s Emotional Load (00:29:05) Creating Supportive Spaces for Mothers (00:30:12) Lack of Deeper Parenting Conversations (00:32:23) Systemic Change in Maternal and Family Support (00:35:09) Blending Eastern and Western Approaches (00:37:30) Whole-Person Approach to Maternal Wellbeing (00:38:55) Spiritual and Existential Questions in Motherhood (00:40:40) Balancing Intuition and Professional Advice (00:42:23) Learning to Trust Maternal Intuition (00:43:43) Acknowledging Resilience and Growth (00:45:35) Motherhood in Later Stages (00:47:08) Honesty and Reciprocity in Parent-Child Relationships (00:53:37) Debunking the Myth of Easy Motherhood (00:54:22) Tapping Into Generational Wisdom (00:56:20) Closing Reflections and Gratitude (00:57:21) Mentions & Notes Jocelyn’s book: Claim Your BrainTrU Living   Work with Ashley Connect with Ashley on IG (@ashleybcoach) or LinkedIn www.ashleybeatty.ca Cover Art: Abigail Murphy Photography
