22 | Postpartum Identity Crisis: Why You Don’t Feel Like Yourself Anymore (And How to Move Through It)

Why don’t you feel like yourself after becoming a mom?   If you’ve ever looked at your life, your routines, your thoughts — and felt like something about you has completely changed — you are not alone.   In this episode of Lost & Found Mom, we talk about the identity shift that happens after motherhood and why so many women feel lost, disconnected, or unfamiliar with themselves in this season.   I share my personal experience of not recognizing myself after becoming a mom — the ways I changed emotionally, mentally, and even in what I valued — and how that shift caught me off guard.   We also explore:   • Why motherhood creates such a deep identity change • Why it can feel like you’ve “lost yourself” after having a baby • How your thoughts, priorities, and emotions can shift unexpectedly • Why this experience is more common than we talk about   And most importantly, I share how I reframed my thinking around these changes so I could move through this season with more clarity, self-compassion, and understanding.   If you’ve been searching for why you don’t feel like yourself after baby, how to deal with identity loss in motherhood, or how to navigate the emotional changes after becoming a mom — this episode will help you feel seen and grounded.   You didn’t disappear. You changed.   And there’s a way to understand who you’re becoming.   If this episode resonated with you, you can always reach me at [email protected] 🤍
