EP001: The Secret Struggle of Motherhood

EP001: The Secret Struggle of Motherhood

The journey into motherhood is ALL the things- beautiful, exciting, nerve wracking, uncertain, joyous, abundant, worrisome and the list goes on. But what happens when we start to lose who we are in the process. I’ve heard it referred to as the Motherhood Identity Crisis but I call it the secret struggle of motherhood. Becoming a mom is so much more than a changing body and a spectrum of hormones, your brain literally creates chemical signals that make your baby the focus of your world. Every aspect of who you are is turned upside down when you have a child so it’s no wonder why we struggle to figure out who we are in this new role. If you’ve ever questioned who you are outside of being a mom you are not alone. In today’s episode we’ll discuss identifying where you’re at right now and what you can do to start reconnecting to who you are at your core.


In this episode we talk about:

  • Who you were before having a child no longer exits so you have to figure out who you are now
  • What happens beyond the physical changes of having a baby
  • Recognizing when you’re feeling disconnected from who you are outside of being a mom
  • Getting clear on how you’re feeling right now
  • Separating WHAT you are from WHO you are and identifying your values
