Becoming a mother is the most blissful experience one can have. And our life transforms after motherhood in ways you never imagined, offering new challenges, growth, and opportunities for self-discovery.
As I embraced my little bundle of joy, I envisioned motherhood filled with laughter and milestones. Yet reality hit hard and fast. It was like stepping into a whirlwind that spun me around at dizzying speeds. Suddenly, my days were punctuated by diaper changes, midnight feedings, and overwhelming emotional rides.
Every waking hour became my new checklist. Sleep-deprived nights became part of the landscape, yet they were fleeting moments that bonded me and my child. Each sleepless night brings growth, learning, and love, along with dark circles under my eyes.

Just as a caterpillar undergoes a transformation to become a butterfly, motherhood can be a time of rediscovery. It’s easy to lose sight of who you are outside of being a new mom, but this journey can also be an opportunity to reconnect with your passions and dreams.
As my son grew up and started pre-schooling, I started investing time in learning more about parenting and child development. In the year 2020, when COVID locked us up in our houses, a new learning door opened up for me, and that was online learning platforms. And there I joined a certification course on parent coaching. I never knew my passion for learning would help me find my life purpose. I started building an online parent community to support and uplift parents in their journey.

While I was learning and reshaping my life, my little one was growing up and was fully supporting my work. I was working from home as I didn’t want to miss or compromise on my son’s time. While he was away at his school, my work started, and once he was back, we cherished our special time and bond. Yes, sometimes I do have evening classes and meetings, but then I am relaxed as my son respects my work hours and helps me to fulfill my dreams.
Life transforms after motherhood, and I have learned how to balance my personal and professional life in ways I never imagined. Also, it is crucial to build a strong support system around you. It was my husband who stood strong beside me and guided me at each step of my new beginning.

Whether it’s dedicating a few minutes each day to a hobby or setting aside time for self-care, nurturing your dreams can help you feel more balanced.
Lastly, motherhood is a journey filled with challenges and triumphs, much like the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. Trust in your journey, believe in your dreams, and remember that patience is essential. Each phase of motherhood brings its lessons and beauty.
