In this episode, Alicia sits down with Gina Low, a mother of four, to explore the quiet moment many moms experience but rarely name — the realization that somewhere along the way, they’ve lost touch with themselves. Gina shares the story of who she was as a mom before her father entered hospice, and how that season — when everything stopped — cracked something open inside her. For the first time in years, she wasn’t needed, performing, or overfunctioning, and that space revealed just how disconnected she had become from her own identity, desires, and sense of self. Together, Alicia and Gina unpack why so many mothers — especially capable, responsible women — slowly disappear into caregiving, and why accessing dreams can feel impossible even when time and space finally appear. This conversation offers language, validation, and relief for any mom who feels consumed by motherhood and unsure how she got there. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation — an awakening and awareness episode for moms who feel lost, exhausted, or quietly wondering if there’s more.
