Welcome to Petals of Being

The backstory that seeded the garden 💐

Hello, luminous lovely soul 🌸,

I’m so grateful you’re here. My name is Catherine May — and if you've landed in this space, chances are you're in that chapter of your life. The one where you're craving deep healing, soul-aligned growth, and meaningful connection. A chapter where peace matters more than perfection, and your inner world is ready to bloom.

This space was created to hold you, uplift you, and remind you: you are not alone on this journey.

I chose the name Petals of Being because I too, am in a very important moment in my life that has initiated the start of my becoming.

Motherhood.

After the first year of my daughter’s life, I find myself struggling with my new identity as a mother.
A stay-at-home mother.
A mother who is experiencing postpartum depression - but not identifying as it.
A mother who is craving friendship…the kind rooted in growth, intention, and deep connection.

The contrast between my old life and my new life was enough to say: I am a different woman.
In every area, my world has completely changed - and yet, here I am… still me.
That realization hit hard: Every moment, every experience - heartbreak, triumph, love… they’ve all shaped the beautiful you.

Just like each petal makes up the whole flower… you are the blossom.
Full. Worthy. Becoming.

Petals of Being.
