Many of us enter motherhood with a tender hope for who we will become. Calm. Present. Unrushed. Then the nights stretch long, the needs multiply, and the day begins to carry us instead of the other way around. Life turns urgent. The body stays alert. You fall into bed exhausted, yet still feel behind.
This episode explores that difference between urgency and identity.
Urgency reacts to what is loud. Identity roots you in who you are becoming.
We speak about the grief of not becoming the mother you once pictured. The way early motherhood shapes the stories we carry. The strain of two people both feeling behind. And, how the smallest grounding rhythms can begin to steady the heart and home.
