E20 - (S2E10) How motherhood changes us, part 3: On coming home to ourselves, redefining success and the evolution of friendships

In the final episode of our three-part series on how motherhood changes us - and the last episode of season two - we turn inward to explore the quieter, more personal transformations that happen after becoming a mother.We talk about the shifting landscape of identity, how we’re slowly coming home to ourselves in new ways, and how motherhood reshapes how we approach things like free time, travel, presence, ambition, and rest.We share how our dreams and definitions of success have evolved, how certain friendships have deepened or faded, and how motherhood gently (and sometimes not-so-gently) rearranges what really matters.This is a conversation about change, clarity, and the unexpected gifts of becoming someone new - while still holding onto the core of who we've always been.Support the showLet's hang out! 🎙️ Follow Moms, Mats, and Manuscripts for more conversations on academia, motherhood, and mindful living.
