EP. 3 Moms feelin’ Found…your identity game plan
In this follow-up to Part 1 of our exploration of mom identity loss and matrescence, Elizabeth and Sarah say the quiet part out loud: the grief, the confusion, the WTF is happening to me feeling—it’s not only normal, it’s necessary.
This week, we’re taking things from conceptual to concrete and walking you through actionable tools to reconnect with who you are and who you’re becoming. Spoiler: She’s not gone. She’s evolving.
We break down:
Why your mental health is the foundation of reclaiming identity
The cultural lie of the martyr mom and why taking up space is the most radical move
How to redefine your value, beliefs, and interests—and actually live them
Tips for carving out time for yourself (yes, even when it feels impossible and yes, even when you feel mom guilt)
Why motherhood doesn’t diminish your potential—it amplifies it
(Turns out, we’re emotionally intelligent, courageous, and weirdly productive AF)
Oh, and if you’re in the “I have no interests and don’t even care” phase, we see you. We got micro-steps for that, too.
This episode isn’t about going back to who you were. It’s about becoming the version of you who’s been waiting to emerge.
