58) How to Reconnect with Yourself After Kids with Dr. Naomi Gibson

Parenthood is an uncharted journey, and as we take a short summer break, we’re bringing back the episode that helped so many of you feel truly seen. In this listener favorite, Eva and Maren sit down with psychologist Dr. Naomi Gibson to take a warm, honest, and direct look at the identity shift within matrescence. We often talk about the baby’s milestones, but what about the mother’s transformation?

Dr. Naomi helps us unpack why you might feel like a stranger to yourself and provides the "roadmap" many of us were never given. We explore the emotional puzzle of becoming a mother, the cultural silence surrounding this transition, and why reconnecting with your own needs is vital for your well-being. Whether you’re in the thick of early motherhood or navigating the school years, this episode serves as a powerful reminder: you aren’t losing yourself; you are evolving.
