We’re Redefining ‘Mom Brain’ Together
Go from frustrated, overwhelmed, and foggy to supported, empowered, and fulfilled in each stage of motherhood.
It’s time to redefine what ‘Mom Brain’ means:
It is not a weakness – it’s an adaptation.
Not a limitation – an evolution.
It isn’t a setback – it’s a powerful transformation.
Is this you, Mama?
While you love your kids fiercely, you’re exhausted by the mental load that never stops. Before mom life, you used to be sharp, organized, on top of everything—now you’re forgetting names, losing your keys, and blanking mid-sentence. You lie awake thinking about permission slips and grocery lists while wondering if everyone else has it more together than you do.
Maybe you’re a working mom feeling torn between two worlds. A stay-at-home mom battling guilt about needing more. A new mom in the fog, wondering when you’ll find yourself again. Or an experienced mom, surprised that it hasn’t gotten easier.
Here’s what you need to know: Your brain isn’t broken. It changed.
And there is a path forward.
you’re in the right place…
Hi! I’m Megan, and I’ve been there.
When I was pregnant with my second child, I hired a professional coach to help me “hack my brain” because I felt like it was really broken this time. I wanted my “old” brain back. As I began exploring mom brain and researching what was going on with me, I realized that this type of coaching didn’t exist (until now).
This is why I created Focus Like A Mother. I wanted to help other moms in my same situation realize that there is nothing wrong with them or their brains. Now, as an ICF-certified coach, I help parents who feel scattered, alone, or overwhelmed understand what’s really happening and real-life strategies that help.
In short, I became the Mental Load and Focus Coach I needed when my brain felt like it had gone to mush.
The REVEAL™ Model for Parent Brain Coaching
Like many moms, I thought ‘Pregnancy Brain’ or ‘Mommy Brain’ was an old wives’ tale, or a right of passage to motherhood. However, when I realized it was a real thing and looked for support, my options were limited. Traditional parent coaching could teach me parenting skills, therapy could help me heal and process my birth trauma, and life coaching could attempt to help me “hack my brain” and be more productive… however, none of these fully helped me with the overwhelm, frustration, and identity shift I experienced as I became a mother. The solution I was looking for didn’t exist… yet.
While caught in the fog of pregnancy and the blur of newborn life, I found my path forward—and you can too. I developed the REVEAL Model for Mom Brain Coaching to hold space and share my lessons as a guiding light for you. Step into your strength—your journey to feeling powerful starts here.

Common Questions
About Mom Brain
Q: What exactly is ‘Mom Brain’?
A: It’s not just forgetfulness—it’s a complete brain transformation.
Current neuroscience shows that motherhood triggers structural and functional changes similar to adolescence. Your brain is literally rewiring itself, and these changes enhance capabilities like emotional intelligence, pattern recognition, and cognitive flexibility.
The catch? These are upgrades, not downgrades. But when your brain changes this dramatically and no one prepares you for it, of course you feel overwhelmed. That’s where Mom Brain Coaching comes in—we help you understand what’s happening and work with your new brain, not against it.
Q: How does Parent Brain Coaching help with these changes?
A: Instead of fighting against your changing brain or waiting to “get back to normal,” coaching helps you understand what’s actually happening and build strategies that work with your reality. We use evidence-based methods to turn these brain adaptations into advantages—so you can feel focused, capable, and like yourself again.
