Girl talk time… let’s be real for a sec.
Struggling to find yourself after having kids is normal.
You’re not alone.
I’ve had three kids in under 4 years and I feel like there are days where I have no idea who I am other than being a mom.
There’s nothing wrong with that, but losing your sense of identity can be really hard.
It’s lonely and isolating, but there are so many wonderful women out there who feel the same way. We just don’t talk about it enough.
Over time you start to find yourself again. There are ways we can work through it to become better versions of our self that incorporate your mom identity and your you identity. It just takes time.
I see you, I feel you, I am you🫶🏻❤️

Motherhood can profoundly impact a woman's sense of identity. Many women report feelings of confusion and isolation after becoming mothers, as their lives dramatically change. It’s essential to understand that these feelings are not uncommon. Studies suggest that up to 80% of new mothers experience some form of identity crisis post-childbirth. Finding balance and nurturing your original self while embracing your role as a mom can be challenging but achievable. Engaging in self-care, reconnecting with old hobbies, and surrounding yourself with supportive communities can aid in this journey of rediscovery. Many resources are available online, including forums and support groups, where moms can share their experiences and feelings. Talking about these challenges can foster a sense of belonging and validation. Remember, it's perfectly okay to seek help when needed, whether through friends, family, or professionals. The path to rediscovery is personal and takes time, but the support of a community can make the journey much easier.
