My "Good Mom" Identity and the Stories We Tell Ourselves
About this episode
Erica Voell explores the complexities of the 'Good Mom' identity and the stories we tell ourselves about our roles.
We all carry identities. The good student. The reliable one. The good mom. And most of us don't realize how tightly we're holding them until something happens that really shakes us and all the old stories come rushing back. In this episode, Erica shares something personal and how a recent family situation brought up one of her most charged identities – the "Good Mom." With it came old stories of rejection, not being good enough, and the feelings that once again something was wrong with her. This episode is about the identities we carry, the stories that get attached to them, and what happens when they get questioned. Erica also shares her story of how she became a mother and why that journey makes the "Good Mom" identity one of the most complicated and tender identities she carries.
