Public Speaking & Workshops on Womanhood and Motherhood
Relatable, Science-Backed Talks with Women Who Care to Grow
Bold, honest, and practical workshops and talks on womanhood & motherhood without glorifying perfection.
Life Changes, Motherhood Changes, We Change - What Do We Do About It?
I’m Žaneta Intaite, a public speaker, mentor, and founder of MotherhoodGuide.com, passionate about giving voice to a stage of motherhood that goes beyond small children, beyond chores and homework, and stands as a full-fledged, meaningful career in its own right, besides the many other roles and ambitions we carry. A motherhood that lives with less guilt, more intention, and pride.
I’ve been mentoring for over 15 years, starting with young female entrepreneurs, and later expanding into motherhood and womanhood mentoring. I hold a university diploma in Social Education and Child Psychology and completed the Stanford Child Development: Behavior and Mental Health program at Stanford Medicine Health Education, grounding my work in both lived experience and evidence-based insight.
As a business owner and mentor, I speak about the challenges many mothers face in the workplace: repeatedly having to prove that being a woman with children is not a liability, but an asset. I help women build leadership in male-dominated environments, advocate for themselves and other women, overcome imposter syndrome, release guilt around work and family, and build sustainable growth through delegation rather than burnout.
by wishing harder
It happens by learning better.
I believe in change and progress when education is involved. If we want significant change in our lives, we must learn something new, not just manifest a better life. That’s exactly why I started giving speeches and workshops for women who care to learn, and take actions toward the life and career they want.
My style is fun, relatable, and thought-provoking. I mix education, real-life experience, and historical-cultural insight to challenge outdated narratives about motherhood, hard work, and female ambition.
THE SPEACHES
I Love My Children, But I Don’t Want Them to Need Me Forever
What if success as a mother isn’t about being there every minute, but about raising a child who can live on their own? This talk isn’t about perfect parenting. It’s about raising emotionally secure, financially aware, and independent humans who are fully prepared for real life.
In this speech, we’ll learn:
how to help children feel, name, and regulate their emotions; why financial awareness should start long before adulthood.
We’ll explore the role parents play in guiding children toward studies and careers, how to prepare kids for healthy future relationships, and how parental ego can quietly keep children dependent.
❖ Only for moms who are brave enough to let them grow
Women in a Man’s Business: Working Hard Gets Us Noticed. Why Doesn’t It Get Us Promoted?
Coming from my business experience, this talk explores workplace visibility, delegation, and how motherhood intersects with leadership and professional identity within gendered systems.
In this speech, we’ll learn:
why delegating both at home and at work is essential for your health; how to recognise and avoid the burnout of what I call “Depleted Mom Syndrome,” We will touch the myth of balance for working moms and the self-guilt it brings, and why women often compete with each other instead of supporting one another.
❖ This session is for women who love what they do, are ready to step up, and are prepared to go big.
Restless and Exhausted: Why “I Did It All Alone” Is Not Something to Be Proud Of
This talk is for women who are praised for doing it all on their own, and who have learned to wear exhaustion like a badge of honor, often without realising the cost it holds.
In this speech, we’ll learn:
how working hard has been historically glorified for women, and how that pride is deeply rooted in emotional patterns passed down through generations. I share why I stopped proudly saying that I raised my daughter alone. We unpack the emotional drive behind “I’ll just do it myself,” why delegating can feel so uncomfortable, and how to start sharing responsibility without losing control or self-worth. Most importantly, this talk looks at the hidden message we send to our children when we insist on carrying everything alone, and why it’s not the lesson we think it is.
❖ Only for those who are ready to give themselves permission to stop carrying everything alone.
Sharing what we know, what we have learned, and what we have experienced is one of the most powerful ways women can lift each other up.
I surely don’t know everything, but by adding my little to your little, we all grow a little more!
