If you’re here, you have likely felt overwhelmed by the challenges of new motherhood, and deservedly so. While it’s a beautiful time, it can be an equally challenging one for many new parents.

In this episode, we welcome Kathleena Nair from White Feather Coaching. Kathleena is a transformational coach specializing in helping women change their mindset, overcome limiting beliefs, and crush self-sabotage. Her coaching style is gentle, empathetic, and supportive, focusing on helping women see their unlimited potential, break barriers, and achieve goals they once thought impossible.

During our chat, Kathleena shared insights into how she uses NLP and hypnotherapy in her coaching practice, particularly for postpartum moms. She explained how these techniques can help women break free from negative thought patterns and self-doubt. Kathleena also emphasized the importance of having a support system and preparing mentally for the postpartum period.

An essential topic we discussed was the often-overlooked "fourth trimester." Kathleena advocates for new mothers to prepare mentally for this period and to give themselves grace and patience during this transitional phase. The unpredictability and demands of motherhood require adaptability and self-compassion.

Finally, Kathleena explained how NLP works by examining our thoughts and emotions to influence our behavior positively. This involves creating positive associations and challenging negative thinking patterns. Consistent practice can lead to profound changes, helping women regain control over their thoughts and emotions.

One of Kathleena’s key pieces of advice is practicing gratitude. Even on the toughest days, listing a few things you're grateful for can shift your energy and perspective. Gratitude helps counteract fear and anxiety, fostering a positive mindset.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or need support, Kathleena from White Feather Coaching offers valuable resources and coaching. Remember, it's okay to reach out and ask for help. You are not alone in this journey.
