About this episode
This episode discusses the identity shift and emotional changes women experience in motherhood, exploring how relationships evolve and the feeling of losing oneself in the role of a mother.
Send us Fan Mail Motherhood changes women in ways people rarely talk about. Not just physically. Emotionally. Mentally. Relationally. A woman can deeply love her children… and still miss herself. And that doesn’t make her selfish. It makes her human. In this episode, we talk about the identity shift motherhood creates, how relationships silently change after children, and why so many women feel lost inside roles they love. Support the show
