Ep 45: Who Am I Without The Roles Pt 1 | Special Guest Alex Kyser

“You can love being a mom and still miss pieces of who you were—two things can be true at the same time.”--Alex KyserIn this episode, listeners will takeaway:How women slowly lose themselves through comparison, reliability, and always “showing up as needed” without realizing it.Why knowing your core values (and doing regular “check-ins”) is the key to staying aligned as you grow and change.How performance-driven identity (athlete/achiever wiring) can show up in motherhood and what to do when it starts consuming you.Practical ways to reconnect with yourself without guilt so you can show up better for everyone else.In this episode of Mama, Let’s Talk, I am sitting down with CrossFit athlete, coach, business owner, and all star wife and mama, Alex Kyser for a real conversation about the question so many women carry quietly: Who am I without the roles? Together, we unpack how identity can become tangled in responsibility and how motherhood can amplify that until you look up and realize you don’t even know what you like anymore.Alex shares how athlete identity shaped her in powerful ways, but also how it taught her to tie worth to performance and what it looked like to grieve an old version of herself while stepping into a new season. This two part episode is a little permission slip, a little mindset reset: you can love your life deeply and still miss you… and that doesn’t make you ungrateful, it makes you human.Connect with Angela:Follow Angela on InstagramSubscribe to The Balanced Mama BlogGet In TouchGrab Your Extra Tools HereShop Our ProductsDisclaimerMusic by Mood Maze
