I told Jesse, "Sometimes I just miss being LINDSEY. I miss the things that I used to love. I miss the person that I used to be - without any roles or responsibilities." If you're a mom who misses a piece of who you used to be, there is no shame in that feeling. And this episode is for you.
In today's episode, I'm diving deep into the challenges many women face when juggling various roles in life, from being a mom to a spouse and business owner. I am sharing my personal experience and the experiences of friends close to me, prompting an important discussion on the common struggle of reconciling personal identity with responsibilities and expectations.
I discuss the impact of motherhood on self-perception, highlighting the importance of making time for yourself, maintaining your appearance (not always for vanity purposes), avoiding isolation, and reframing negative thoughts. I share practical insights on regaining a sense of identity by initiating change, communicating needs, and embracing a mindset shift. Whether you're a new mom or navigating the challenges of parenthood, this episode provides valuable perspectives on rediscovering and balancing your identity amid life's seasons.
