1:1 coaching & mentorship experience
for mums
Are you ready to confidently and courageously step OUT of your own way and dive IN to your next epic chapter, beyond Motherhood… if only you knew how?
well then you’re in the right place!
let me guide you through >> the gateway
A transformative 4-month holistic 1:1 Coaching and Mentorship experience for spirited Mums with a fizzling fire in their bellies that they’re DYING to reignite!
Through this journey you’ll reclaim ownership over your passion, purpose and potential after kids, and restore your faith in finding work that works for YOU - without sacrificing yourself or your integrity as a parent in the process.
This is YOUR time to embark on a self-affirming adventure that’s all about YOU!
So you can unlock The Gateway to the next epic chapter of your life — one that looks and feels unapologetically and joyfully like YOU, alongside Motherhood.
“Tamsin is worth her weight in gold. I started coaching feeling totally lost and desperate, and have come out feeling confident, strong, capable and feel 100 times clearer and more optimistic about what’s next for me”
June - Marketing Consultant - Mum of 2
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
You're a switched-on Mum emerging from the ‘eye of the storm’ of Motherhood (probably for the last time!) and you’re SO FRICKIN READY to reclaim some personal and professional independence again…if only you could get off the starting block
The smorgasbord of demands, expectations and conflicting life priorities occupying your mind is brain boggling, making clear thinking (let alone decision making!) feel exhausting and confusing.
You’re feeling blurry about who you've become beyond ‘Mum’ and feel like you’re often navigating life as a totally different person, who you haven't had time to fully get to know yet.
A fulfilling career has always been a core part of your identity but your pre-kids career just isn’t vibing with your post-kids life, unless you’re willing to make a heap of heart-breaking sacrifices (which you’re not!)
The idea of making a change feels exciting and important - but you’re simultaneously terrified to leave your comfort zone in case you realise you’re all washed up, or just don’t have it in you. Staying still feels safer, but depressing.
You get tangled in aimless scroll holes looking for ‘the right answer’ but find yourself constantly overwhelmed or distracted making it a fruitless endeavour.
You KNOW you’re not fulfilling your potential and can see your frustration (and resentment) negatively rippling into family life which breaks your heart and wracks you with guilt.
You tend to overlook your past achievements, playing small because you’re sure someone else (probs without kids) will be better qualified, even though your pre-kids self would have totally gone for it!
You dread being asked ‘what are you up to right now?’ because it brings up a heap of inadequacy BUT you’re also desperate for a judgment-free sounding board to help you make sense of things and stop this experience feeling so lonely.
If this sounds like you, please know you’re not alone…
So many other Mums feel like you (as did I a bunch of years ago before I emerged from my own very sticky rut and embarked on my own big chapter change…)
Knowing deep in their bones that they want and need MORE for themselves.
But feeling too lost in the space between who they once were and who they have become since having kids to bridge the gap on their own.
Stuck in a repetitive cycle of overthinking, procrastinating, comparison and self-doubting…
And subsequently drifting further away from the belief that they’re capable of change.
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO SO MANY OF US, AFTER WE HAVE KIDS?
Motherhood can create an overwhelming, foggy chasm between who we were pre-kids and how life looks and feels as a Mum.
One minute you’re independently buzzing around in your own carefree bubble, purposefully climbing the career ladder and calling the shots on how or where you spend your precious time.
And then suddenly, along comes Motherhood (for all its wonders!) and turns EVERYTHING on its head…
Sending your cortisol levels through the roof, cracking your sense of self into fragmented pieces and whipping your personal aspirations into a knotted tangle.
Because Motherhood IS one of the most emotionally profound and transformational life transitions you’ll ever go through, which we often don’t give full appreciation (or compassion) to.
And navigating that maternal identity gap can feel seriously eye watering.
ESPECIALLY when you feel like you’re doing life as a totally different and unfamiliar person.
And ESPECIALLY when we live in a world where women have been conditioned to believe that birthing and raising kids automatically comes with an amputated side of ambition - a horror story I’m committed to challenging from the roof tops - for myself, my kids and for YOU too!
MOTHERHOOD WAS THE SCREAMINGLY URGENT
MOTIVATION I NEEDED TO CHANGE my life…
If I’m honest, I’d fallen out of love with my career before becoming a Mum. But I hadn’t been faced with an urgent enough reason to make a change.
But Motherhood prompted me to take a long hard look at myself and commit to making the brave, bold changes I hadn’t dared to consider beforehand.
Because I didn’t like the stressed, anxious, maxed out version of myself showing up day in day out at work or at home
Because I really believed I was capable of MORE
Because I wanted to make myself and my kids proud
Because I didn’t want to be another Mum who couldn’t make it work.
Because I wanted to show my kids that THEY could live meaningful, powerful lives too
Through Motherhood, life took on a whole new meaning for me - and I didn’t want to waste a second of it hiding in the shadows or filled with reget. It was the essential invitation I needed to stop settling for less and start doing life justice, in my own right!
But I couldn’t do that based on who I’d been ‘pre-kids’ - because that version of me no longer fit this new version of life.
So rather than continuing to fight against myself, I chose to dig deep, get honest and get to know myself again.
Which turned out to be the key to unlocking a version of life (and myself) that I’d never dreamed could be available to me!
the truth is - you’ll struggle to open the most aligned and ‘feel-good’ doors to your next chapter until you’re the version of yourself that is supposed to walk through them.
And that’s where I can help you!
During this 4-month 1:1 coaching and mentorship experience you’ll be FULLY supported from the inside out to intuitively do YOUR thing WHILE raising your kids (yup, it really doesn’t need to be a choice!)
During our time together, I’ll guide you to unlock The Gateway to your truest, most authentic self - who may have been lost in the messy maze of Motherhood for a while.
And armed with that potent self-knowledge we’ll reveal the pathway to the next epic chapter of your life.
One that looks and feels unequivocally and unapologetically like YOU.
Without needing to sacrifice yourself or your integrity as a Mum in the process.
your next chapter is living and breathing inside you already
- and now is your time to unlock that magic!
IS THIS WHAT YOU’RE CRAVING?
A sturdy grip on all the moving parts of your life (rather than aimlessly winging it all the time)
Time and space to breathe life into your own aspirations, beyond Motherhood (rather than constantly chasing your tail)
Re-connection with who you are so you can navigate life feeling like your true, most joyful self again (rather than a total unfamiliar stranger)
Re-discover your purpose and fulfilment, engaging your heart and mind in something meaningful and exciting that belongs entirely to you
Silence the beliefs, stories and fears filling your head so you can stop putting yourself down, settling for less and playing small
Start making intuitive decisions around your future that ignite a solid HELL YES in your heart and don’t challenge your integrity or force unwanted sacrifices
Reignite your pride in your own potential – believing you CAN and WILL make this happen
Restore your confidence and conviction in yourself to prove to your kids (and yourself!) that Motherhood is NOT a reason to settle for less
“Tamsin helped me to ‘tune in’ to me again. Like the channels were there, I just needed her help and guidance to make the adjustments to make them clearer.Two years on and I’m still using the tools she showed me, to keep myself tuned in”

how we’ll work together…
You and your journey are totally unique - and together we’ll co-create a completely bespoke experience for you that aligns with who you are and what you desire in your life, career and experience of parenthood.
As your coach >> I’ll introduce you to an array of empowering coaching and NLP strategies, resources and processes which will provide you with invaluable tools for life to use way beyond our time working together
PLUS in my mentor hat >> I’ll provide you with support, inspiration and reassurance by generously sharing experience gleaned from own 14 year corporate marketing career, my 5 years as a business owner coaching women just like YOU PLUS my own 9 years of being a Mum myself!
During this experience you’ll be supported to solve the 3 biggest problems I believe keep Mums stuck and stop them embracing their next epic chapter by themselves:
phase 1: the re-emergence
YOUR PROBLEM: “I have no time or space to think about ME and MY future”
THE SOLUTION >> Grant yourself permission to emerge through the messy maternal fog so you can clarify what you’re striving for in your own right, and where YOU and your plans have the potential to fit amidst the moving pieces of your life.
HERE’S HOW WE WILL DO IT…. (click to expand the steps below!)
-
During this phase we’ll turn down the volume on the overwhelming, distracting noise in your head (and life) so you can freely and playfully connect with a motivating and fulfilling vision to work towards. One that makes your heart sing and your toes curl!
-
We’ll take a 360-degree tour of your life to identify how your priorities balance and connect, pinpoint what sparks your joy and release the expectations weighing you down so you can feel ownership over where and how you’re channelling your time and energy, and more confident that there IS space for you to thrive in there as well
phase 2: the re-connection
YOUR PROBLEM: “I’m not sure who I am or what I want for myself or my life anymore”
THE SOLUTION >> It’s time to build a rock-solid bridge between who you were pre-kids and who you have become through Motherhood, so you can stand confident, clear and proud in your truth and value. I’ll help you cultivate the resilience to grab the life you desire, and tackle the ‘demons’ (mainly living in your head!) that try to knock you off track.
HERE’S HOW WE WILL DO IT…. (click to expand the steps below!)
-
We’ll go through a process of unlearning and re-learning about yourself, peeling back the layers to reveal who you truly are and excavating the values, beliefs, passions and qualities that make you so flipping special. This will support you to stop ‘winging it’, trust your gut instincts and unlock meaningful choices and decisions that feel unequivocally like YOU.
-
We’ll excavate all the unique talents, passions, skills, strengths and experience you DO have inside you already, and package them up into an invaluable, versatile toolkit so you feel an empowered sense of pride and accomplishment in who you are and all you have to offer the world.
-
We’ll compassionately identify and challenge the unhelpful stories, beliefs or behaviours blocking your progress. You’ll learn how to turn down the volume on their negative noise, free yourself from their paralysing grip and replace them with a more resilient and empowering script to live by so you’re liberated to make confident, meaningful and courageous moves to shift the dial in your life.
phase 3: the reclamation
YOUR PROBLEM: “I’m stuck in a chapter that’s stopped feeling quite like me”
THE SOLUTION >> It’s your time to unfurl and flourish! During this final phase we’ll gather all your newfound self-knowledge and self-belief to methodically evaluate the truly aligned options available to you, so you can stand at the crossroads of your life and confidently unlock The Gateway to your next epic chapter from a place of self-knowledge, intuition and pride.
HERE’S HOW WE WILL DO IT…. (click to expand the steps below!)
-
Wave goodbye to your pesky friend’s rumination and procrastination and stand tall at the crossroads of your next chapter armed with everything you need to enter the 'HELL YES' zone. Feel the invigorating feelings of hope and pride as you feel equipped to make fully-informed, full-hearted, gut-led decisions about your ‘right’ path to follow.
-
Craft your ‘Next Chapter Pathway’ – a personalised action plan where your steps are crystal clear, your boundaries are strong, taking consistent, aligned action comes as second nature and expectations feel motivating AND sustainable around family life.
-
You’ve got the solid gold key to your next chapter firmly gripped in your hand, and there’s nothing left to do now but turn that lock and proudly step through The Gateway to a world that YOU created, feeling energised, enabled and nourished as your WHOLE self (while rocking Motherhood, your way).
“I had a life changing experience with Tamsin! She created an environment where I felt safe and could completely come as myself and open up. I grew so much and following our time together I have felt able to step out of my comfort zone, reaching some of the biggest milestones of my career so far. Personally and professionally things just started to make sense. Forever grateful!”

I know how precious your time is, and this programme is designed with that in mind.
In addition to the 60-minute bi-weekly calls I recommend carving out at least one more hour across the week to reflect on your coaching journey. This will get you into the habit of prioritising yourself PLUS as you naturally integrate the programme learnings into your everyday life you’ll find it won’t feel like ‘work’ but rather a new way of embracing your life.
Ultimately this is an investment that you’re making in yourself and your future, so it’s important for you to decide what feels aligned and motivating for you to commit to this process. But I’ll be by your side the whole way, and hold you accountable in whatever way you need.
