The postpartum Identity crisis

Let’s chat: identity. Yes we are first and foremost moms, but we’re also so much more than that. Regardless of if you’re a working mom or a stay at home mom, we’re all innately multifaceted as humans, we’re sisters and daughters, friends and partners…the list goes on. In this episode, D&A chat about their previous identities, and how they’ve shifted, how motherhood has forced them to take inventory of their ‘roles’ and make adjustments to ensure alignment. They discuss identity crisis, questioning their purpose, uncovering so much about themselves after becoming a mom, and realizing that it’s okay to have conflicting desires - wanting to have a careers, yet also wanting to spend all day with your kids. Wanting to have alone time, but feel guilty taking it. Wanting to have an active social life, but not want to leave the house. All these different expressions can be true at the same time - the shame and guilt that comes with these desires is societal, not our own. Instagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.
