Description

A podcast for the woman behind motherhood.


The Motherhood Mentor Podcast is for the mom who looks like she has it together—and wants her life to actually feel as good on the inside as it looks from the outside.


Hosted by somatic healing practitioner and holistic life coach Rebecca Dollard, this podcast goes underneath the surface of motherhood to talk about the woman living it.


We talk about nervous system regulation, somatic healing, boundaries, people pleasing, perfectionism, mom guilt, relationships, emotional regulation, identity, ambition, family dynamics, cycle breaking, and the complicated work of becoming more yourself while being deeply connected to the people you love.


You probably don't need another person or expert who isn’t you- telling you how to optimize your morning routine, parent your kids, or become a better version of yourself.

You need space for the messy middle.


The part where you love your life and sometimes feel swallowed by it.
Where you want to be present and ambitious.
Soft and powerful.
Deeply connected without abandoning yourself.


A really good mom without making motherhood the entirety of who you are.

Rebecca brings somatic work, nervous system education, parts work, Enneagram, emotional intelligence, and years of coaching women into conversations that are nuanced, practical, deeply human—and occasionally a little unhinged.


No sanitized self-help. No pretending there is one right way to do this.

Just honest conversations about healing, relationships, motherhood, boundaries, and what it looks like to build a life you don't have to disappear inside of.


You don't need less of a life. You need the capacity to be fully alive inside the one you're building.
