58) Revisiting Identity Shift in Motherhood with Dr Naomi

It’s holiday time and Eva and Maren are taking a well-deserved break, but we’re bringing back some of our most popular episodes—those that resonated deeply with listeners, sparked conversations, and helped many feel seen, heard, and understood.

Parenthood can feel like an uncharted journey, and we all experience our own unique struggles along the way. Sometimes we’re in the thick of it with you, sometimes a step ahead, and other times, you might look back on our episodes when you need them most.

In this revisited episode, we dive back into a listener favorite: self-identity in Matrescence, featuring Dr. Naomi Gibson, our trusted psychologist. This episode struck a chord with so many of you, shedding light on the unwritten, emotional transformation that comes with entering motherhood. Matrescence can feel like an overwhelming puzzle, and we often find ourselves navigating this period of life without the roadmap we wish we had.

Through candid and compassionate conversation, Dr. Naomi helps us explore how our self-identity shifts during this time and why it’s so important to reconnect with ourselves.

Whether you're in the midst of this transformational journey or looking ahead, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone, and the feelings you’re experiencing are part of a much larger, shared experience.

Looking forward to our Matrescence series in September, where we’ll continue to celebrate this journey with more voices from our community, offering invaluable insights and support.
