Losing Yourself in Motherhood? You Haven't.
About this episode
Losing yourself in motherhood is one of the most common - and quietly painful - experiences moms search for.
If you’re feeling burned out, disconnected, and wondering where you went… this episode is for you.
We’re unpacking the motherhood identity shift no one explains properly - the societal expectations, the invisible pressure to sacrifice everything, and the belief that “good moms” are supposed to disappear.
You didn’t lose yourself.
You got buried under expectations.
In this episode, we’ll talk about why this happens, how burnout amplifies it, and the mindset + system shifts that help you reconnect without abandoning your family or blowing up your life.
After listening, you’ll understand why you feel this way - and how to start reclaiming small pieces of yourself again.
