They say that when a baby is born, so is a mother. But while you are there to help your baby grow into the person he or she is meant to be, who is there to help you? Many women feel lost and alone when they become mothers, wondering “who AM I now?” Sometimes it feels like transformation from woman to mother is as radical as a caterpillar’s transformation into a butterfly. Did you know that inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar literally turns into goop before it rearranges itself into a butterfly? This podcast is about the goop, what soul transformation looks like as you transition from being a woman to a mom. Your baby’s growth matters. But yours does too. You’re not alone. I’m your host, Brittany Meng. Welcome to the Motherhood Metamorphosis.

Brittany Meng: Becoming a Cycle-Breaker (Full Episode)
Love this episode? Send me a message here!
BONUS EPISODE!
In this solo episode, I talk about what being a cycle breaker means to me. Sometimes we break cycles from our own childhoods, or generational cycles of dysfunction. Sometime we break cycles that we have created in our own families too that are not working for us anymore or are causing harm.
For me, cycle breaking is about our inner work not just providing a different path for our children. I want to break cycles of fear, shame, deprivation, dysfunction, and trauma. I want to provide paths of healing, wholeness, delight, health, and love.
So how do we start? In this episode, I share 3 truths I've realized and 4 steps I've taken, along with specific stories, to help change the narrative for my kids and break toxic cycles.
It’s not too late to say, “I’ve been doing things one way and I want to do things another way.”

Lauren Rogers: Mindful Menstruation for Modern Moms
Love this episode? Send me a message here!
Lauren and I dive deep into all things menstruation! We challenge common narratives, attitudes and misconceptions, and provide alternative beliefs, attitudes and practices to help us embrace our periods, womb wisdom, and natural energy cycles as women.
We focus on both the physical challenges of menstruation as well as the emotional challenges women can face, and how we can learn to speak more kindly to ourselves and practice holistic self-care.
We also give practical examples about conversations we can have with our partners and children and how we can change the narratives concerning shame, secrecy, and dismissive attitudes about our periods so we can show up more honestly and authentically in our own bodies and lives.
This episode is LIFE-CHANGING. Listen for yourself and then share it with your sister, BFFs, and tween and teen daughters.

Customer Reviews
Alisha Meador : Divorce, co parenting
I really enjoyed listening to this episode. My daughter has recently gone through a divorce and she has some of the same struggles, concerns with co-parenting but also very different experiences because it is also high-conflict. So she is learning how to navigate that daily. Alisha articulates very well her feelings and what her new life looks like. Divorce and co-parenting is not for the faint of heart and blessings for all those that navigate this.
Motherhood unfiltered
I loved chatting with Brittany about the Mental load of motherhood, and why more mothers are drinking than ever. in our episode, I talked about my story and how I quit drinking, and how to manage the mental load while still being present and accessible to my children. A great podcast for moms 💗
One of my favorite podcasts!
Brittany’s topics tackle all the things a mother could ever encounter and she does so with grace and kindness and love and acceptance. No matter what you are experiencing in your motherhood journey, you will feel seen here!
