Have you ever looked up from the school pickups, the to-do lists, and the endless roles you fill only to realize you weren't sure who you were anymore? If that ache is familiar, then this episode is for you. I've been hearing it from so many moms — "I don't even know what I like anymore," "everything I do is for work or my family," "now that the kids are in school, I don't know what to do with myself." And I've been living my own version of it, too. This past summer I hit a real low point and it drove me to start looking honestly at the gap between the life I want and the life I actually have. In this episode, I share what I've been sitting with: • Why we so naturally lose ourselves in motherhood — starting from the moment we're pregnant • How, if you don't intentionally choose who you are, someone else will choose for you (your boss, your kids, your calendar) • The idea from Dr. Joe Dispenza's Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself that stopped me in my tracks: your personality creates your personal reality • Not only rediscovering who you are underneath the roles, but also choosing who you want to become • The honest "gap analysis" I've been journaling through — what in my current reality I want to change and who I want to be on the other side • Why being human means we are never finished... we are always becoming Here's the heart of it: you are not stuck and you are not too far gone. The version of you that feels a little lost right now is not a problem to fix. She's a woman in the middle of becoming.
