156. Losing Yourself in Motherhood? How to Reclaim Your Spark and Come Home to You

Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, “Wait, where did I go?” If you’ve felt yourself slowly drifting away from the woman you were before motherhood, this episode is for you.

 

Whitney Baker, host of the Electric Ideas podcast, opens up about the quiet ways moms can lose themselves in the noise of caregiving, career, and constant demands—and why it’s not your fault. She shares why so many women experience disconnection from their own essence, how to recognize the subtle signs it’s happening to you, and why it’s worth choosing to come back home to yourself.

 

In this conversation, Whitney offers both insight and practical tools to help you:

• Understand why identity loss happens so often in motherhood.

• Spot the everyday ways you may be living on autopilot.

• Take small, soul-aligned steps to reconnect with what lights you up.

 

Through stories from her own motherhood journey and client experiences, Whitney shows how making intentional, doable shifts can help you feel grounded, alive, and aligned again.

 

If you’ve been looking for a reminder that you are more than the roles you play—or permission to start honoring your own needs and desires—press play now. This episode will meet you right where you are and invite you to step into what’s next.

 

Here’s what you can look forward to in this episode:
