Ep 47: Why I Stopped Writing During My First Pregnancy (And Why I Didn’t This Time)

When I was pregnant with my first baby, I stopped writing for months. This time, I didn’t. Not because I have more time, energy, or a simpler life, but because something deeper changed.In this episode, I’m sharing a personal look at what shifted between my first pregnancy and this one when it comes to my writing. From the moment I felt like I had lost myself in early motherhood, to the realization that I still wanted to be a writer, to rebuilding a writing practice that actually fit my life... this is the full story behind how I found my way back. And why, this time around, continuing to write isn’t even a question.We’ll talk about the real reasons I stopped the first time, the identity shift that brought me back, and the self-trust that now carries me through exhaustion, uncertainty, and a completely different season of life. If you’ve ever wondered whether writing is still possible for you as a mom - or how to hold onto that part of yourself - this episode will meet you there.Because your writing doesn’t disappear when your life changes. It just needs a new way to exist.If you’re trying to figure out how writing fits into your life now, you don’t have to do it alone.
