As a women's mentor and clinical hypnotherapist my work on myself and my female clients has armed with an array of knowledge of what modern women are struggling with and how they can empower themselves to fulfil their potential.
I have a powerful message to all modern women. Society nowadays is set up for women to keep their emotions inside for fear of being shame and labelled. I birthed my suppressed emotions when I gave birth to my first child, this was the catalytic moment that shook my whole foundation. What followed was a year of therapy to uncover my childhood role, family dynamic and reasons behind why I felt like it did at 35. This was never about having children, this was about being a woman and not having the courage or support to let go of my early conditioning and living as my truest self. My children were my greatest gift and the mirror that showed me all my childhood pain and raw emotion. My children's birth was the rebirth of me and they became my medicine that healed over 30 years of limiting beliefs so that I could finally let go and become the person I was meant to be. These beliefs are stored in our cells and our ancestral lineage and it takes courage and perseverance to break the family patterns and not just set our adult selves free but my children too.
Here is my biog:
Women’s Mentor Cat Raincock shares the story of how becoming a mother aged 35 was the catalyst and yet not the cause of her life’s undoing. Despite a childhood in which like many little girls, she dreamed of marriage, babies and the perfect London home, when the former TV presenter and interior designer gave birth to her son in 2012, she experienced what she describes as “a slow melt down.”
Cat’s daughter’s birth two years later confirmed what she had on some unconscious level already known – that beneath the desire to present a perfect picture of domestic bliss and adoring motherhood to the world, unhealed pain was threatening to cause an explosion in the carefully curated life she modelled.
Six years on, Cat is committed to encouraging women to cast off the social and inherited shackles which numb us from and prevent us from honouring what we feel. Disconnecting us from our own peace, health and liberation. This is not just about mothers but women as a whole. It’s time we looked inside and taste the freedom of being our truest self.
