Rediscovering the Woman You Used to Be (Before Marriage and Motherhood)

from The Vibrant Marriage Podcast · host Rachel Engels, LMFT

Somewhere along the road of marriage, motherhood, and responsibility, many women slowly lose touch with parts of themselves. The hobbies that used to bring joy. The things that sparked curiosity. The parts of your identity that had nothing to do with managing schedules, caring for everyone else, or keeping life running. In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story about a season when I realized I had been running on empty—and how easy it is for women to lose themselves in the constant demands of family life. But more importantly, we’ll talk about why reconnecting with the things that light you up isn’t selfish at all. In fact, it’s one of the most powerful ways you can bring more energy, joy, and connection back into your marriage. If you’ve ever felt like parts of you have quietly disappeared in the process of taking care of everyone else, this episode is an invitation to start finding your way back.
