ABOUT THE FLOURISHING MOTHER

Hi, I’m Belinda Batt MSc, EMCC-accredited coach, author of Challenge Your Guilt, and founder of The Flourishing Mother.

 

I specialise in helping mothers move beyond guilt, self-doubt and overwhelm so they can reconnect with who they are, strengthen their confidence, and flourish in motherhood, work and life - without abandoning themselves.

My work is grounded in Positive Psychology, Coaching Psychology, and a deep understanding of the cultural, psychological and systemic forces that shape modern motherhood. 

My work is also rooted in lived experience.

Like so many mothers, I’ve known the weight of the mental load, the strain of trying to be everything to everyone, the identity shift that comes with becoming a parent - and the guilt that can seep into every corner of life.

 

My coaching, writing and research are all shaped by the same questions many mothers quietly carry:

 

  • Who am I now?

  • What do I need?

  • How do I get what I need in a world that so often makes it hard for mothers to flourish?

 

These questions inspired my book, Challenge Your Guilt, which explores the root causes of maternal guilt - not just within us, but around us: the culture we parent in, the expectations placed on mothers, the lack of structural support, and the myths about what “good motherhood” should look like.

They also sit at the heart of my 5-Step Flourishing Framework, which guides mothers through dissolving shame, identifying their needs, reconnecting with their identity, rebuilding confidence and boundaries, and equipping themselves with long-term tools to flourish.

Alongside my one-to-one and group coaching programmes, I speak and write about maternal guilt, identity, gender equality and equal parenting, and the emotional and systemic realities shaping the lives of working mothers today.

At my core, I believe:

🌿 Mothers are not the problem - the system is.
🌿 You are already enough.
🌿 With the right support, space and tools, flourishing is possible - for you, your children, and your whole family.

 

If you’re ready to explore what flourishing could look like for you, I’d love to connect.
