  • Not the Same Woman I Was: An End-of-Year Reflection on Motherhood, Healing & Growth

    Not the Same Woman I Was: An End-of-Year Reflection on Motherhood, Healing & Growth
    Dec 29 2025

    As the year comes to a close, this episode is a gentle invitation to pause, breathe, and reflect.

    In this end-of-year reflection, Rach shares honestly about a year that changed her completely — navigating postpartum recovery after a significant haemorrhage, ongoing breastfeeding, PMDD, chronic sleep deprivation, and raising two young children with limited support.

    This episode isn’t about resolutions or hustling into the next year.
    It’s about honouring who you’ve become.

    Rach reflects on:

    • The invisible weight many mothers carry — especially in postpartum and sleep-deprived seasons

    • Choosing to live from a place of abundance rather than fear

    • Making bold, values-led decisions that brought more ease and connection to family life

    • Redefining success beyond productivity and milestones

    • Finding pride in presence, resilience, and intentional living

    • The power of reflection through photos, memory, and shared storytelling

    • Growth that whispers quietly through boundaries, courage, and softness

    This episode is for any parent finishing the year feeling changed, stretched, or quietly proud of how far they’ve come — even if it doesn’t look like much from the outside.

    You don’t need to become someone new next year.
    You just need to keep honouring who you’re becoming.

    Take a breath, settle in, and close the year with compassion.
