97. Why You Really Need An Identity Outside of Motherhood

For most of us, if not all, motherhood has re-shifted the entire course of our lives. One way these changes have manifested is in how many moms have lost their unique identities outside of motherhood. I want you to know right here, right now, that what you are experiencing is valid, but this is not the end of the road for you.  You are a whole person, and your sense of purpose isn't limited to becoming a mom. In this mini episode, we are reflecting on how motherhood has changed many aspects of ourselves including our goals and passions, how we can address our struggles in reconnecting with our lost identities, and ultimately, creating a healthier & more authentic version of motherhood.  Get your Notes app or pen and paper ready - and let's get to it!
