Motherhood changes us in ways we’re rarely prepared for.

​

Over five thoughtful emails, we’ll explore the emotional realities of becoming a mother; from identity shifts to the invisible load — and offer compassionate reminders that you matter too.

​

After the series, The Growth Notes will continue to arrive in your inbox about once a month.

​

When you join, you’ll receive a short email series exploring:

​

- What matrescence is — and why motherhood can feel so disorienting

- The invisible mental and emotional load many mothers carry
- Maternal ambivalence — loving motherhood and struggling at the same time
- Gentle reflections to reconnect with yourself in the process

Each email is designed to feel like a quiet pause;
grounded in perinatal psychology and written with warmth.

​

So many mothers sit with the quiet question:

“Why does this feel harder than I expected?”

​

Often, it’s not because something is wrong.

It’s because motherhood is a developmental transition — one that reshapes identity, relationships, and our sense of self.

​

This process has a name:

Matrescence.

​

The Growth Notes is a space to understand and move through that transition with more compassion and support.

​

Delivered with warmth.
Without pressure.
Usually once a month.

​

Motherhood changes you.

You don’t have to navigate that transition alone.

Hi, I’m Angelina.

I’m a Clinical Psychologist, HypnoBirthing Practitioner, and mother of two.

​

Through my work at The Growth Room, I support women navigating the emotional transition into and through motherhood.

​

Many of the themes in this series are things I hear mothers share quietly in the therapy space — questions about identity, overwhelm, guilt, and the invisible load.

​

The Growth Notes is a way to bring those conversations into the open.
