You’re a Mom and… So Much More
Let’s talk about something real, mama.
We pour so much of ourselves into our children—their meals, their schedules, their emotions, their dreams. And yes, being a mom is an incredibly sacred role.
But can we also say out loud…
It’s not the only role you have?
You’re a Mom and… a whole human being.
You’re a mom and a creative.
You’re a mom and a business owner.
You’re a mom and a dreamer.
You’re a mom and a woman who still has goals, hobbies, and desires of her own.
You’re not “just” a mom.
Motherhood may be one of the most important jobs you'll ever have—but it's not all of who you are. And losing sight of that can leave you feeling resentful, overwhelmed, and unsure of where you fit into your own life.
Why Reconnecting with Yourself Matters
Here’s what I tell the moms I work with all the time:
The best way to take care of your kids is to take care of you first.
When you nurture your identity outside of motherhood—your passions, your wellness, your dreams—you show your children what it means to live fully and authentically.
And guess what?
That version of you?
The one who laughs freely, follows her passions, and makes space for rest?
She’s not selfish. She’s a happy mom.
How to Reclaim Your Full Identity
Here are a few gentle reminders for the journey:
✨ Check in with yourself regularly.
Ask, “What do I need right now?” before immediately jumping into caregiving mode.
✨ Make time for your interests.
Whether it’s reading, painting, journaling, or building your career—make space for what lights you up.
✨ Say yes to your dreams without guilt.
Motherhood and ambition can coexist. You’re allowed to chase goals and still be a present, loving mom.
✨ Connect with others who see you beyond the role of ‘mom.’
Support systems matter. Community matters. Therapy helps, too.
