EP 146 Rediscovering Yourself in Motherhood and Embracing New Identities

Postpartum University® Podcast

Self-discovery in motherhood is so important because we undergo so many changes.

But so often, we feel lost in our new responsibilities and completely lose track of who we are.

That’s why being intentional about the strategies I’m sharing here for embracing your new identity becomes even more critical.

In this episode, we're talking about:

• The 3-step process of self-discovery in motherhood.
• 5 questions to ask yourself when you’ve lost sight of what’s important to you.
• Practical tips for establishing boundaries and prioritizing self-care.
• Why loss of identity occurs, what to expect, and how to be proactive about reflecting on the self-discovery journey before it escalates to feeling like a crisis.

No matter who you are, what you've been through, the physical changes, the emotional shifts, the shifts in your priority, the changes in your identity, the relationship changes, sleep deprivation, time constraints, career adjustments, the responsibility, the learning curve– all of those things are happening to you regardless of how many kids you have, and you have to give yourself time and attention to move through those and navigate and explore what works for you and what doesn't.

So embrace this evolution and use this episode to guide yourself or the clients you serve through this journey with grace and self-compassion.
