50. *UPDATED* Why Your Identity Matters in Early Motherhood

Have you ever felt like you disappeared somewhere between diaper changes, feeding schedules, and trying to be everything for everyone?In this episode, I rerecorded the intro to talk about something that changed my own heart in motherhood: our identity has to be rooted in Jesus Christ, not in our roles, achievements, or how well we keep up with the laundry (which… let’s be honest… is never 😅).The world defines identity by what distinguishes us—our personality, job titles, group affiliations, or accomplishments. But our identity in Christ is different. It’s based on what He has done for us and who He says we are: made in God’s image, chosen, loved, part of a royal priesthood.And when motherhood shakes everything you thought you knew about yourself, that truth becomes an anchor.In this episode, we talk about:✨ Why rooting your identity in Christ protects you when motherhood feels overwhelming ✨ How losing yourself in your roles can quietly steal your peace ✨ How taking care of your own needs can ultimately benefit your baby and familyBecause when you know who you are in Christ, you don’t have to chase perfection or prove your worth—you can show up as a calm, confident, grounded mom who loves her baby from a place of security instead of pressure.If you’re in that season of wondering, “Who even am I anymore?”… this episode is for you. 💛Resources mentioned:>> Get the FREE resource -> The New Mom Survival Guide: Preparing for Life with a Newborn at www.abridgetomotherhood.com/newmomSupport the show>>To submit a question for future podcasts, click here.>>Don’t forget to follow along over on Instagram at @abridgetomotherhood for more everyday life and postpartum doula tips>>Visit our website: www.abridgetomotherhood.comLeave a ReviewIf you love the podcast, please rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you’re listening from.After you review the show — take a screenshot and upload it here — so I can send you some happy mail with a little surprise as a thank you.Your feedback means so much to me and helps us reach new moms who desperately need to hear that they are worthy of support!Disclaimer: Some of the links in this episode may be affiliate links, including Amazon links.
