When I first joined, I didn’t think I had many struggles. I was still in a phase where I had a lot of support, and I wasn’t sure how relevant the program would be for me. But looking back, I can see how wrong I was. The lessons on relationships and mental load hit me hard—they showed me what would’ve become my greatest hurdles if I hadn’t done this work now. One of the biggest realisations was that the challenges of motherhood isn’t something you just need to learn to adapt to in the first few months postpartum—it’s a lifelong journey of change and re-adaptation. That truth helped me engage with the program much more deeply than I expected. The content on relationships was powerful, not only for my marriage but also for extended family and friendships. The myth of the ‘perfect mother’ shook me; I realised how impossibly high my expectations of myself had been. Learning to release that has been freeing. The group coaching was validating in a way I didn’t anticipate. Hearing other mums share their struggles—whether it was boundaries with other family members or their own guilt—made me feel less alone. It reminded me that these challenges cross cultures, and that we’re all navigating similar emotions. It also gave me new perspectives and the courage to look at my own relationships more objectively with the aim of shaping those to create the kind of life I want for myself and my family. This program has changed how I show up as a partner, mother, and person. Overall, Trina’s well-paced and structured program exceeded my expectations. I thought it would simply be about rediscovering my identity after giving birth, but it went so much deeper—exploring relationships, family history, and how these shape the way we parent. These aren’t just tools for the postpartum period; they’re skills I’ll carry for life, because motherhood isn’t confined to the first year—it’s a lifelong evolution. This eye-opening, practical, and research-backed program is something I’d recommend to every expecting mum (and parent). I only wish I had it sooner, and I’d love to see a version for men too—because they also need this space to explore their identity and role in parenthood.

Amongst the chaos of parenthood, I was looking for ways to stay connected with my husband and regain the confidence I had lost since becoming a mum. I wanted to discover who I was becoming and feel like I was steering the ship, not just being tossed around by it. From the very first lessons, I realised how much I didn’t know about matrescence and how transformative it could be. I began questioning “myths” I had held onto without even realising, and turning them around. The session on epigenetics was an eye-opener, helping me acknowledge my family history without judgment while choosing what I want to carry forward. The boundaries and relationship sessions were game-changers. I had never thought in detail about the boundaries I had—or didn’t have—and how they were serving me. Talking it through with other mums made me feel less alone, gave me new perspectives, and kept me accountable week by week. Even though some topics were challenging, I always left feeling lighter, more curious, and more open to opportunities. I now feel more grounded in myself, more conscious about how I want to approach motherhood, and more empowered to lean into my feminine traits. I’d recommend Birthing You to any mum, especially those who want to consciously transition into motherhood, be empowered through knowledge, and connect with like-minded mums in a space guided with such expertise and compassion by Trina.

As the new mom of a three-week-old baby, I was completely overwhelmed. I felt buried under information about how to be a parent, while also feeling so alone in my journey—even I was surrounded by opinions. I had lost my confidence in who I was and what my purpose was, beyond just keeping my baby alive. Most days I didn’t know how I would get through the day… and yet, I’d get to the end of it wondering how I had accomplished so little. The lessons on belief setting were a game-changer. Challenging those ideas of what makes a ‘perfect’ mother helped me realise the disconnect between that impossible standard and the mother I actually want to be—one who is aligned with my values. The short lesson lengths were also perfect for my new-mom brain. They gave me space to process, and I could fit them into the tiny windows of time I had. The group sessions were powerful. Being guided through behaviours, thoughts, and feelings that weren’t serving me—and then using the ‘five whys’—helped me dig down to the root of those patterns and see how I could change them from the inside out. The breakout sessions were especially helpful. Talking 1:1 with another mom who was going through similar struggles made me feel less alone. The breakouts on emotional explosions and boundary setting gave me the chance to work through real-life examples, which made the lessons so practical. I now feel more confident recognising which behaviours are unhelpful and what I can do to shift them. I knowwhere I want to set (or reset) boundaries, and I feel much better equipped to work through conflict when it comes up. I would absolutely recommend this program to first-time moms who are figuring out who they are in this new era of life. It gave me the tools, confidence, and clarity I didn’t know I needed.

Life felt like complete chaos after my second baby was born. I had lost my sense of identity and carried constant guilt about not being able to give my full attention to both children. Social media painted a picture of the ‘perfect mum,’ and I felt I was falling so far short. When I came across the idea of matrescence—something I had never heard of before—I had to Google it. What I discovered opened my eyes to an entire world of knowledge about motherhood that I wish I’d known earlier. The module on regulation was especially powerful for me. It reminded me to regroup, rewind, and relax in those chaotic moments so I could bring calm back into my home. The skills were simple, practical, and easy to use—and with the online platform, I could revisit them anytime I needed support. The group coaching sessions were also fabulous. Having a safe space to share openly with other mums going through the same thing, guided by Trina’s compassion and expertise, was invaluable. For the first time, I didn’t feel like I had to bottle everything up. This program has taught me that matrescence is something worth caring for, paying attention to, and investing time in. It’s given me tools and hope—reminding me that things can get better when you have the right knowledge and support. I truly believe this is something every mum should do. It’s improved my wellbeing as a whole.
