In this episode, Rhonda is diving deep into motherhood and the journey to becoming a mom. While the transition into motherhood can be painful, scary, and sad, it can also be beautiful, happy, and joyful.
Today’s guest is Stepha LaFond. Stepha is Life Coach and Mentor, dedicated to helping moms navigate the space between who they are and who they’re still becoming. As a mom of two young children she knows first hand the struggles of juggling the demands of motherhood, career and life.
She started her practice out of a desire to put moms at the center of the conversation, with an emphasis shifting the narrative on modern motherhood to one that allows space for mamas to grow, heal and take care of themselves at all stages of their journey.
Her work on Matrescence- the transition into motherhood- invites her clients and spectators to explore and hold space for this common but rarely discussed phase of development, whilst taking a critical look at the unjust systems and power structures impacting motherhood and creating necessary shifts towards liberation.
Here’s a closer look at what we discussed:
