Identity Shift | Parents discuss rediscovering yourself after having children

from Don't wake the baby! · host Emma and Elliot

Is being a mum or a dad your only identity? Exploring how we change as people in parenthood. This is the one where Emma and Elliot chat about past hobbies, things we've lost along the way, adapting to struggles & the relentless busy stress of life, finding time for ourselves, taking up new hobbies, accepting things are different, and the spirituality of parenting. Some deep honesty and fun stories... discussing the positives and negatives. Particularly referencing our recent holidays: a week in the South of France with Emma's sisters, and a weekend in a cabin by a lake in the UK for Elliot's 30th birthday (pictures on our Instagram!)If you prefer to watch along on YouTube:www.youtube.com/@dontwakethebaby_podcastEngage with us on InstagramFacebook Group Chat CommunityFind resources, info, links and more on our website:www.kairosmovement.org.uk/dontwakethebaby/For Elliot's creative faith projects, such as Disney Church, see here: www.kairosmovement.org.uk/digital-revolution/Unwind on sleepless nights to a wholesome mix of parenting stories, quirky humour, and cosy crafting.
