33) The Motherhood Identity Shift: Finding Yourself Again with Dr. Naomi Gibson

Becoming a parent doesn't just add a new role to your life—it completely rewrites your identity. In this episode of Dam Parenting, Maren and Eva sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Naomi to discuss the profound and often destabilizing "identity shift" that comes with motherhood.


For international parents in the Netherlands, this transformation can feel even more intense as we navigate new cultural norms alongside a changing sense of self. Dr. Naomi offers a warm, honest, and direct exploration of the emotional and psychological changes that occur when you transition from "me" to "mom." We discuss how to embrace this evolution with self-compassion, navigate the strain it can put on relationships, and build resilience in your new role. Whether you are mourning your pre-baby freedom or struggling to recognize the person in the mirror, this episode provides the expert guidance needed to grow through the shift with confidence.
