The Messy Middle Ground

The Identity Shift No One Talks About in Motherhood

Motherhood changes everything—but one thing we don’t talk about enough is how it changes who we are. In this episode, I reflect on the identity shift that comes with becoming a mom, before, during and after the baby is here,  the loneliness many women quietly experience, and the slow process of finding yourself again in the middle of it all. If you’ve ever asked yourself “Who am I now?”, this conversation is for you
 
🎙️ New episodes of The Messy Middle Ground explore the real, messy middle of motherhood, identity, and growth.
