Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought — I love my life, I love my kids, I love my family… but where did I go? I felt this exact thing before having my second baby. In Part 1 of this series, I break down matrescence — the psychological and hormonal shift into motherhood nobody warns you about — and the data behind it: 62% of moms say they’ve lost part of their identity, and we carry 71% of the household’s mental load.
I get into my own story: the guilt around asking for help, why I resisted childcare for so long, and the actual shifts that helped me come back to myself — brain-dumping my to-do list, streamlining the boring stuff, and making my own time non-negotiable. This isn’t about bouncing back to who I was. It’s about evolving into someone better.
