The Identity SHIFT No One Warns You About in Motherhood | The Goodmother Series Ep. 2

What happens when motherhood does not just change your routine, but changes who you are? In this launch episode of The Goodmother Series, host Ezinne Asinugo-Onyeka sits with Bisi Akins, presenter, voiceover artist, and founder of All Things Africa, for an honest conversation about identity after becoming. Together, they explore the quiet shock of no longer feeling like your old self, the emotional work of moving through new seasons, and the tension of holding both gratitude and truth at the same time.This episode moves through the parts of motherhood many women feel but struggle to name. Bisi reflects on compartmentalising with joy, being kinder to yourself in a changed body, protecting privacy in marriage and motherhood, processing birth trauma without minimising it, and navigating the one to two transition without making a firstborn feel replaced. It is a warm, grounded conversation about becoming, capacity, and giving yourself permission to be who you are now.If you have ever felt like motherhood reshaped your identity in ways no one prepared you for, this episode will meet you there.Guest: Bisi AkinsWebsite: https://www.bisiakins.com/aboutInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bissakins/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BisiAkinsAll Things Africa: https://www.instagram.com/allthingsafrica_/The Goodmother Series | The Unspoken TruthA modern motherhood podcast documenting how becoming a parent reshapes identity, body, and cultural belonging across the African diaspora.Hosted by Ezinne, this series centres on lived experience over advice.
