Where Did I Go? Finding Yourself in Motherhood

Episode 5: Where Did I Go? Finding Yourself in MotherhoodMothering Out Loud with KristinHave you ever looked at an old photo of yourself and thought…Wow… I barely recognize that version of me anymore.Not just because life looks different — but because you feel different.In this episode, Kristin opens up about something many mothers experience but rarely say out loud: the quiet feeling that somewhere along the way, parts of our identity get lost in motherhood.We pour so much of ourselves into raising our children — the time, the energy, the planning, the emotional weight of caring so deeply — that sometimes we wake up years later and realize we’re not quite sure who we are outside of being “mom.”This episode is a heartfelt conversation about:• the version of ourselves we remember before motherhood• why so many moms struggle with identity shifts• why feeling this way is far more common than we think• and how those parts of us are never truly goneBecause motherhood doesn’t just change our lives.It changes who we are.And sometimes the next version of ourselves is still unfolding.⸻If this episode speaks to you, I’d love if you could:• Follow or subscribe to the podcast• Leave a review (it really helps other moms find this space)• Share this episode with a friend who might need it✨ Want to share your story, ask a question, or suggest a topic?Visit the podcast page on my website:👉 www.westernctdoula.comYou can also connect by email:📬 [email protected] so much for being here.Let’s keep Mothering Out Loud — together.
