Hi! I’m MacKenzie, Founder of TheraMama Haven
Truthfully, this is the safe space that I need for myself.
As a therapist and a mom I felt like I was failing and completely alone. Things got heavy and it felt like nothing would ever get better. The things that I thought would help me, weren’t cutting it anymore.
We’ve all been there…
Burnt out on DoorDash
Not enough energy to get to the grocery store or even get them delivered
A massive pile of dirty laundry
And then your kid wakes up demanding ice cream first thing in the morning
I never knew if I wanted to kick into high gear or hide under the covers. I was constantly giving and doing for others, all while neglecting myself. Things got pretty dark.
I was so busy seeing alllll the clients and busting my ass to make the money my family needed. Just feeling burnout, bored, and all around unhappy but I knew there was something more for me.
I found Laura Long’s Your Badass Therapy Practice course and something inside me decided to take the leap. I wanted to know more about being a successful business owner and how to achieve financial freedom for my family. I learned that
There are different ways to do private practice
And I didn’t have to work long hours and be away from my family…
{Seriously Mind Blowing!}
But nothing was more impactful as when I attended my first retreat. I jumped on a plane to another state and spent several days with people I’ve never met in person. And it was amazing.
It was the start of many trips and my love of being surrounded by other Therapists. I felt the energy from sharing space, ideas, encouragement and building lifelong friendships.
It’s also how I knew that I wanted to start to support Therapist Moms more.
Becoming a mom had been more challenging for me than I ever expected.
And I had a lot of doubts that I wasn’t doing a great job. It only made sense to support other Therapist Moms who are feeling the exact same way that I did. Who need a safe place {like I did} to admit that:
I don't always like being a mom.
Despite everything I did to become one.
Sometimes it feels like I’m failing.
There’s so much extra pressure for working moms. Throw in many years of infertility and some self-blame for that, it was pressure I surely put on myself. I wanted to make sure that I was doing it ALL.
Motherhood triggers my own childhood trauma.
We are talking about childhood trauma that I didn’t know I had. Being a mom challenges me in ways I wasn’t ready for. I sometimes feel like I don’t have any time to myself and that is really difficult.
I’m a better version of me at work than at home.
It’s like I’m a better person at work. When I come home, a switch goes off and I’m suddenly a crabby, control freak. Sometimes I feel like the best parts of me go to my clients instead of my family.
I know I’m not the only one & neither are you.
TheraMama Haven is a place where we can be real.
I make an intention to show up as honestly and authentically as possible, allowing myself to be vulnerable in a way I don’t always feel safe being with other Therapists.
I want others to feel comfortable sharing their vulnerability as well.
It’s probably not what you were expecting from a Mom’s Group but maybe it’s exactly what you need!
