Podcast Episode 77: Mom Isn’t Your Only Identity

May 18, 2021October 2, 2023

Back in the times of B.C. (Before Children) moms had hobbies, interests, and a fully developed identity outside of being a mom. A hard mom truth is that many of us have slowly lost touch with that identity as our motherhood often took over the majority of our time.

Take it from our No Guilt Mom Mindset…

As moms, we need to bring our own accomplishments that go beyond raising our family. Not only will it bring you happiness, but it will also bring you fulfillment!

Find your “Unicorn Time”!

What’s “Unicorn Time” you ask? In Eve Rodsky’s book Fair Play, it’s described as something that makes you interesting.

But if you are so wrapped up in your identity as a mom, you may need some help finding it.

Listen to this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast for our 3 simple steps to find your own thing apart from being a mom.

My Life is Over: My Postpartum Depression Story {Part 1}

Postpartum depression sneaks up on you and strangles your grip on the present. Instead of feeling excited for the future, you’re overwhelmed by dread… counting down the minutes until your baby moves out. At least, that’s how it was for me.
