Who Am I Now? Navigating the Identity Shift of Motherhood

Lost Your "You" in Motherhood? You're Not Alone.

If you've ever looked in the mirror and wondered, "Who is this person?" you are not alone.

In this episode of Your Mom Enough, we have an honest conversation about the challenge of losing your sense of self in motherhood and the ongoing journey of finding that person again.

In This Episode, We Explore:

  • The "Before and After Mom" Self: Shawna shares her experience of missing the ambitious, growth-focused person she was before having a baby.

  • The Guilt Factor: We discuss the pervasive guilt that moms feel when they step away from their family to do something for themselves. Is it possible to have a "mom day" without feeling bad about it (or… running an errand for the house)?

  • Reclaiming What Lights You Up: An activity doesn't have to be productive to be valuable. Cara talks about her decision to start going to the gym again and the massive, positive shift it created in her energy and happiness. It's a testament to how doing something "frivolous" can make you a better parent.

  • A Challenge For You: We are officially challenging you to find just 10 minutes this week to do something that made you feel like yourself before kids. Whether it's singing, swimming, or sitting alone with a coffee, we want you to reclaim that feeling.
