Who are we beyond the roles and routines of motherhood?

In this opening episode of the Identity Series, we begin a gentle conversation about identity beyond motherhood - the difference between who we are and what we do. Through story and reflection, we explore why so many moms feel disconnected from themselves and why that experience is more common than we talk about.

This episode is an invitation to pause, notice, and remember that motherhood is a role you carry, not the source of your identity.

So many moms are great at showing up for everyone but quietly lose sight of themselves in the process. In this episode explore the fawn response and codependency in motherhood, and how these patterns shape the way we relate, love, and carry responsibility.

We talk about people-pleasing, emotional labor, over-functioning, self-silencing, and why rest and personal desires can feel hard to name. If you’ve ever felt anxious when others are upset, guilty when you rest, or unsure who you are outside of motherhood, this episode is for you. This conversation begins a deeper series on identity, healing, and learning to include yourself in the relationships you care about most.
