Motherhood Without Losing Yourself: Identity, Self-Care, and Co-Regulation After Becoming a Parent

Motherhood Without Losing Yourself: Identity, Self-Care, and Co-Regulation After Becoming a Parent

Therapist and host, Malisa Hepner, and Cindy Woulfe,certified meditation teacher and wellness advocate and author of, "In the Weeds: A Guide to Saving Your Own Soul on This Crazy Journey Called Motherhood", explore the realities of motherhood, from postpartum identity shifts to the pressure of unsolicited advice. They discuss the importance of self-validation, co-regulation in parenting, breaking generational patterns, and practical ways parents can nourish themselves while raising emotionally healthy children.

Create a daily self-nourishment ritual—no matter how small—that reinforces your identity outside of parenting. Practice self-validation before seeking external reassurance, and model co-regulation by tending to your own nervous system first. When parents care for themselves with intention, they build the emotional capacity to parent with presence, clarity, and connection.
