Thrive in Parenthood · 12-week group course

Feel like yourself again. And enjoy being a parent while you're at it.

A 12-week online course from itsme, life coaching for mums. You'll meet weekly with a small group of up to five mums, with three private 1:1 sessions with me along the way.

Is this you?

You adore your children, but parenting feels more draining than joyful.

You're always giving, and somewhere along the way you've lost touch with who you are.

You feel guilty for struggling, even though you know something needs to change.

You miss the version of you who felt more alive and more sure of where she was going.

Thrive in Parenthood isn't about changing your children or learning a new parenting technique. It's twelve weeks that are just for you.

The difference you'll notice

Less guilt, and more compassion for yourself

A lighter home, with more laughter in it

More calm and confidence as a parent

A deeper connection with your children, enjoying them rather than just getting through the day

A real feeling of "I'm back"

Clarity about what you want, and a plan to move towards it

What we'll explore together

Twelve weeks. Six themes.
All about you.

What you really want from life.

A chance to stop and dream, so you know which way you want to go.

Your beliefs about parenting.

Looking honestly at the beliefs you carry, and whether they actually serve you.

What you've gained since becoming a parent.

Recognising how you've grown and the skills you've built.

Your triggers.

Understanding what sets you off, where it comes from, and how to move past it.

You, beyond the parent.

What makes you you, and what you'd love more of.

Bringing in positive change.

What you'd like to be different, and how to make it happen.

How the twelve weeks work

9 small-group sessions, about 90 minutes each, live on Zoom

3 private 1:1 sessions with me, 90–120 minutes each, booked at times that suit you

A maximum of five mums, so everyone has space to be heard

Every group session is recorded, so if you miss one, it's sent to you

The group and the private sessions do different jobs. In the group, you realise you're far from the only one feeling this way, and you learn a lot from each other. In the 1:1 sessions, we work on what's specific to you, including anything that has been holding you back for years.

Who guides the course

Hi, I'm Emily

I'm Emily. For 15 years I ran Montessori nurseries and supported parents almost every day — and then I became a mum and found myself completely thrown. I created Thrive in Parenthood as the support I wish I'd had: practical, honest and warm, with space for you to feel like yourself again.

"Week on week, I found myself smiling more in pure enjoyment of parenting and life itself."
