What most women don't understand about this journey is that motherhood isn't just an external role change—it's a profound internal transformation called matrescence.

Matrescence is a complete neurological, hormonal, and identity rebirth.

But, no one prepares you for how disorienting this shift can be. You're not just adding "mom" to your resume—you're fundamentally rewiring who you are.

The problem isn't that you're doing motherhood "wrong". The problem is you're trying to use your pre-motherhood identity as a blueprint for a completely new landscape.

Those old patterns that made you successful? They don't just need tweaking—they need a total reconstruction.

Here's what I mean... when you say "my anxiety" or "my overwhelm", you're not describing a symptom. You're revealing an identity that's become so intertwined with your experience that you can't see where the struggle ends and you begin.

True healing isn't about managing symptoms. It's about creating radical changes to your identity.

It's about:

• Releasing who you were

• Embracing who you're becoming

• Creating space for this new version of yourself

• Understanding that feeling "off" is actually a sign of growth, not failure

“The reframes have been so helpful and have helped me show up how I want to with my kids and with my husband too..."

Imagine you’re on a road trip, and your destination is a joyful, fulfilling version of motherhood—where you feel present, connected, and aligned with what truly matters to you.

But instead of following your own internal GPS (your values), someone else—society, your upbringing, your mom guilt—has programmed the route. The map they’ve given you says: “Always put others first.” “Good moms never need breaks.” “Sacrifice at the expense of yourself is what motherhood is...”

So, you follow their directions, but you know something feels off. You keep ending up on detours, exhausted, lost, and wondering why no matter how much you do, you never actually arrive at that sense of peace, joy and fulfillment you crave.

This is what happens when you live outside your values. Your subconscious mind, which operates like a GPS, is following the learned beliefs, programming and patterns you learned as a kid. But now it's time to change and learn something new... So it sends signals—frustration, resentment, exhaustion—telling you that you’re off track. But if you keep overriding those signals, you end up in burnout, snapping at your kids, feeling constantly like you're failing, or feeling numb instead of present.

And it’s not just mental and emotional exhaustion—it’s physical, too. When you’re running on stress and misalignment, your body follows suit. Your hormones shift because you're in constant survival mode. Cortisol spikes, your nervous system stays on high alert, and suddenly, you’re not just feeling burned out—you are burned out, and depleted right down to your cells.

 When your true inner values are not identified and therefore met, you will always lead with a seed of frustration, unfulfillment and doubt. When you put parenting before yourself, you’ll never be the parent you want to be (how much is left to pour when the cup is empty?) When you’re able to meet your needs in tandem with your family and kids’ needs the overstimulation and snapping at your kids happen far less often.

Inside Functional Motherhood, we reprogram your "GPS". When you align your actions with your deepest values (not the ones you're choosing off a list of 100 words... the actual ones  your subconscious mind is running off of), the road becomes clearer. You stop taking unnecessary detours. Your stress levels drop, your hormones begin to regulate, and you start to feel like yourself again. You’re no longer just surviving through motherhood—you’re thriving in it, getting to live it with energy, purpose and joy.

Inside You'll:

✔ Finally drop the guilt around putting yourself first—without feeling selfish
✔ Align your parenting with what truly matters to you (not what society expects)
✔ Transform daily chaos into present, connected moments 

Society has taught you that motherhood should be overwhelming. That the default is burnout and constant overstimulation. The side effects of living in this dysregulation not only leads to physical exhaustion but constant mental anxiety. When in reality, none of this is true. When you begin healing your central nervous system (aka the operating system behind your emotions) you’ll realize you have a choice to approach it all differently. This societal limitation gets to end with you.

PLUS get inside my brain! When you've been working with women for over a decade healing chronic illness, injuries, athletic performance, chronic symptoms and burn out, how much will it help to get inside my brain and see exactly how I approach mental, emotional and physical health and why it's so different than most?! In this section...

I’ll Reveal How YOU Can Create A Comprehensive Approach To Your Own Burn Out and Chronic Health Symptoms That's Specific & Individualized To YOU and your family (no cookie cutter approaches here)!

"BIG Emotions Don't Need Big Reactions"

We uncover and clear The Big 6 Emotions (Anger, Sadness, Fear, Hurt, Guilt & Shame) to ensure that you’re not meeting your emotional kiddos with more emotion.

Meaning you’re not reacting to a BIG feeling (your kid really wanted to stay at the park) with a tantrum of your own. It may feel like the emotion is being charged in that moment, when really it’s a tab you’ve left open for decades (here, we close them).

Just wait until you feel all that energy come back. When you feel good, you have more capacity to be present for your kids when they need you most. What would have been an entire day being ruined by your child’s big feelings and your future moments robbed because you’re still venting about it to your friends days later, turns into a micro-moment you simply move through. 

You’ll understand WHY your kiddos have BIG feelings and you’ll know exactly how to respond (without it triggering a complete emotional meltdown between you both that leaves you both wondering how you got there).

Here we master how to process your own emotions so that you can return to a neutral, calm state more quickly (rather than letting a moment derail your entire day and you’re still venting about it to your friends days later).

You'll not only understand what your nervous system is and how to regulate it better, but you'll also have the tools AND I'm taking you through the exact processes I do with my private coaching clients to create space and more capacity so that your nervous system can feel regulated and safe more often than stressed and overwhelmed.

Inside you'll know EXACTLY how to:

✔ Finally understand why certain behaviors push your buttons (and how to stop them)
✔ Process emotions in the moment instead of carrying them for days
✔ Create a home where both you and your child feel safe and understood

 Motherhood is not just a new chapter... it’s a full transformation. Like a phoenix, parts of your old self may feel like they’re burning away, but this isn’t loss; it’s rebirth.

You are becoming stronger, wiser, and more aligned with who you were always meant to be.

You no longer avoid and repress your desires, your needs and your emotions.

Inside you’ll learn how to express your emotions & needs in a way that doesn’t drench others in emotional chaos.

And Mom Guilt? We Don’t Know Her

Taking personal responsibility is great, judging yourself for what you have done, could’ve done, should’ve done differently is a waste of time.

Identifying and releasing the shame you have around not doing enough or being enough is giving you time BACK with your family. The brain calories you’re spending going back and forth is robbing your present moment with your child.

This is a lose - lose for you and them. Mom guilt tells me you’re a good mom, you know this is one of the most important things you’ll ever do in your life. It’s time to release this defaulted mental interrogation you have with yourself.

Inside You'll:

✔ Ditch the constant self-judgment and second-guessing
✔ Stop spending brain calories on guilt, beating yourself up, and start spending them on play, fun & joy
✔ Discover the secret to showing up fully present with your kids—without feeling like you should be doing more 

"You've Been Reborn, Too"

“I don’t know who I am anymore”. That’s true, you don’t.

And it’s only because you haven’t met HER yet. Here we discover who she is, what she wants (and doesn’t), what she needs (and doesn’t).

Full permission to release the old you and embrace the new you.

It's Time To Discover WHO YOU ARE NOW.

The growing pains are real. As you step into knowing yourself, your limitations and old defaulted patterning will make themselves more obvious.

And the old you will tell the new you that she’s not good enough.

Here we dive deeper into untangling what we might be bringing with us unconsciously into this next chapter, finding a new understanding of ourself and healing our conditioning (learned survival behavior).

Break Free From Limiting Beliefs, Conditioning and Society's Expectations of How Mother's Should Be - of How You Should Be...

Understand why you fall back on certain habits and step into motherhood your way, with your authentic joy and peace at the center.

You’ll understand why you keep defaulting to behaviors and patterns of how you “should” be as a mom (you know when you look in the mirror and say how terrible you look, just like your mom used to do…) and instead create the new patterns of your authentic expression of who you are & motherhood.

You’ll no longer feel torn between who you were and this new version of you that feels foreign and you don’t recognize.

You’ll no longer feel resentful of everyone else because you’ll embody loving yourself and prioritize doing more of what you want to do.

Inside you'll:

✔ Free yourself from the patterns and beliefs you inherited (but don’t want)
✔ Step into motherhood on your own terms—not society’s
✔ Build a legacy of emotional health, self-love, and authenticity for your children

You’ve ignored yourself for so long and it’s hard to know what your inner voice sounds like. You know what society sounds like, your mom and even your great aunt Bertha – knowing and trusting YOU is the ultimate parent flex. 

Your boundaries are inherited by your children.

Your regulation is inherited by your children.

Your ability to respond (not react) is inherited by your children.

The support you allow yourself to have is inherited by your children.

The love you have for yourself is inherited by your children.

You are their greatest example. And she’s now doing great.

This is where everything comes together. Integration isn’t just about learning—it’s about embodying. When your brain is highly integrated, it moves from trying to control everything and rigid reactions to flexible, empowered responses. This is the key to breaking old patterns and stepping into the mother (and woman) you’re meant to be.

Inside you'll know EXACTLY how to:

✔ Rewire your brain for long-term change through neuroplasticity 
✔ How integration increases adaptability and helps you respond instead of react
✔  Experience your life, your motherhood, and yourself without the burn out, overwhelm and exhaustion
✔ Solidify your growth so you don’t slip back into old patterns

This isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of living, parenting, and thriving with clarity, confidence, and connection.

“This is Great Dr K!
...But I've Spent THOUSANDS trying to fix my health and burnout, why do I still feel like this?!”

You're not alone. Most of my clients find me at this point in their journey. 

If you're reading this, chances are you’ve already tried everything. The supplements, the books, the meal plans, the workout programs, the labs, the doctors, the therapy sessions, the late-night Google rabbit holes.

And you might be thinking, "I've just got to get my nutrition back on track, I just need to start taking those supplements again, shouldn't I focus on that first?" NO.

"Why Trying To Fix Chronic Health Symptoms & Burnout With The Same Patterns That Created Them Is Backwards"

Especially if you've tried what worked before, and it's no longer working. Because the root patterns that caused the health problems and burn out never got addressed - so the symptoms came back. 

Change needs to happen at the IDENTITY level.

So... you're left STILL feeling exhausted, despite having tried everything. You still don’t feel like yourself. You’re still running on fumes, trying to hold everything together for your family while KNOWING that you’re running on empty.

And maybe, just maybe, you’re starting to wonder...
➡ Am I just broken?
➡ Is this really just “normal” mom life?
➡ Is burnout something I just have to live with?

Your doctor may have told you your labs are “normal” or it's just something you're going to have to live with.

Also no.

Your therapist may have helped, but you still feel off. And despite your best efforts, you’re still searching for real, lasting answers.

That’s exactly why I created Functional Motherhood—so you can finally stop DIY-ing your health and start actually feeling better.
