The Thing No One Tells You About Motherhood

Let me tell you about Sarah.

She walked into my postnatal class last Tuesday, and before she even unrolled her mat, she said something that stopped me in my tracks: "I feel broken."

Not tired. Not stressed. Broken.

And here's the thing—I knew exactly what she meant.

Because motherhood doesn't just change your body. It changes the way your body feels in the world. Your shoulders carry the weight of a thousand invisible tasks. Your upper back holds the tension of feeding, lifting, soothing, repeating. And somewhere between the nappy changes and the sleepless nights, you forget what it feels like to inhabit a body that doesn't ache.

But here's what happened next.

We spent a few minutes with a spiky ball—yes, just a simple spiky ball—releasing the knots and tension that had taken up residence in her upper back. Rolling, breathing, melting into areas she didn't even know were screaming for attention.

By the end of class, Sarah looked different. Not because her circumstances had changed. Not because her baby suddenly started sleeping through the night. But because her body felt like hers again.

You are not broken. You're just holding too much.

Your body is doing an extraordinary thing—it's adapting, supporting, giving. But it's also storing every ounce of stress, every moment of tension, every hour you put everyone else first.

The truth is, you don't need a complete overhaul. You don't need hours of time you don't have. You just need someone to show you how to release what you've been carrying, so you can remember what it feels like to move without pain, to breathe without restriction, to feel strong instead of depleted.

Here's what I want you to do:

Join me for a class this week. Bring your tired shoulders, your aching back, your "I feel broken" energy. I promise you'll leave feeling different—not perfect, not "fixed," but lighter. Like yourself again. Click here to see how to release the tension you've been carrying.

Because you deserve to feel good in your body. Not someday. Today.
