About this listen

Ever found yourself snapping at the kids, then reaching for a glass of wine to take the edge off?
In this episode, I speak with Natalie Pereira—coach, mum of three, and founder of The Essence of You- about what’s really going on in our nervous systems when motherhood feels overwhelming.

We talk about the pressure to hold everything together, the patterns that lead us to drink, and what genuinely helps in the moment.

If you're juggling a lot, craving a bit of calm, and wondering if there's another way to cope.
This one's for you.

More About Natalie Pereira

Natalie supports mums who feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck in old patterns and helps them reconnect with their bodies, their values, and the kind of parent they truly want to be. Through body-based work, nervous system support, and deep identity coaching, she helps women create real, lasting, and embodied change — for themselves and their families — from the inside out. Natalie is passionate about helping mums become the kind of person they want their kids to model — not by pushing harder or doing more, but by rewiring old patterns, reclaiming their sense of self, and building the capacity to live, parent, and lead from a calm, grounded, and connected place.
