About
When you find yourself wondering “Who am I other than being a mum”, you’re not alone.
Motherhood is a fulfilling role to hold. However, it can also change the way you see yourself.
Somewhere between caring for everyone else, routines, and responsibilities, there's a disconnection you feel from the person you used to be. An uncertainty about who you’re becoming in your new life can appear.
Butterfly Minds was created for mums who love their children, but also know that they want to reconnect with themselves outside of motherhood.
Why Butterfly Minds exists
After becoming a mum, I realised how much my identity had changed.
I wasn’t unhappy with my life but I felt disconnected from myself in ways I didn’t expect.
My days revolved around caring for my baby, and while I loved stepping into my motherhood role, I noticed a feeling of identity loss.
Butterfly Minds grew after my transition into motherhood. I went from not knowing who I was to becoming a published children's book author within 1 year of becoming a mum.
In 2017, and for 7 years after, I started supporting mums through complex life challenges including poverty, raising neurodivergent children and mental health struggles in the charity sector.
During that time, I saw first-hand how deeply motherhood can impact a woman’s identity, confidence, and sense of self.
This work helped form an understanding for the work I now deliver, supporting women through matrescence and helping them reconnect with who they are.
Professional background and expertise
Natasha Iregbu is the founder of Butterfly Minds, a Scottish-based mindfulness and personal growth platform supporting mums through identity transitions after motherhood.
She specialises in:
Mindfulness-based self-reflection practices
Emotional wellbeing for mums
Personal development during life transitions
Supporting mums navigating life changes and reconnecting with their identity.
Through her work and over a decade of experience working with mums and children, Natasha has helped many mums develop a better relationship with themselves and their family while growing a stronger sense of self beyond their parenting role.
You’ll find support to help you:
Rebuild a sense of identity beyond being a mum.
Develop mindfulness and self-awareness in a way that fits into your real life.
Feel calmer, more confident, and more connected to yourself.
Take intentional steps toward growing in all aspects of your life.
Services and products are designed to be simple, realistic, and compassionate, because going through your personal growth journey shouldn’t feel overwhelming.
What can you expect?
You don’t need a complete 360° life overhaul to feel more like yourself again.
Growth can be intentional and change can be small
And you’re allowed to evolve alongside motherhood
You’ll be guided to rediscover who you already are in an uplifting space so you can fully step into who you're becoming in this season of life.
How to start
You’re here because something inside you is already shifting and that's important to recognise.
You've tried watching what other mums are doing for inspiration on what your next steps could be, but it left you putting their life on a pedestal and thinking…
“I could never have a life like that” or “one day when my kid is older.”
You know that everyone's life is different after becoming.
Yet, you can't help but feel like everyone else has their life planned out.
When you're done with comparing yourself with others and you're ready to focus on your own life and become who you want to be beyond motherhood, come and work with me.
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You need to build your self-belief and uncover who you are again because you have so much strength within you that can support you to feel and become who you want to be.
