What if the reason you feel disconnected from yourself in motherhood isn't that you're doing something wrong, but that you've gotten so used to putting everyone else first? In this Mini Jolt, Whitney gets honest about her own experience of navigating motherhood, career, burnout, and the feeling that she was somehow failing at both work and home. Looking back with the perspective of years of coaching, self-reflection, and conversations with more than 150 experts, she explores why so many mothers find themselves becoming the most negotiable part of their own lives.
Whitney also digs into the identity shifts and grief that can come with motherhood, especially when your career, priorities, or sense of self starts to change. Rather than offering another list of things moms should be doing, she invites you to slow down, look inward, and start building a life from the inside out. You'll hear why self-abandonment isn't simply a scheduling problem, how motherhood can train us to override our own needs, and why creating more space to listen to yourself can be the first step toward feeling more intentional, grounded, and connected to your own life.
And if you're wondering where to start, Whitney shares a simple practice you can try right away: the "What Do I Need Buffer." It's a small pause built into your day to check in with yourself and ask, What do I want right now? What do I need right now? Tune in for a conversation about motherhood, identity, and finding your way back to yourself.
