"A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together. It is when an IMPERFECT couple learns to enjoy their differences." -Dave Meurer. Marriage is hard.

Our sense of identity comes from the choices we make about things like relationships, career, hobbies, friendships and lifestyle. These choices often reflect who we are and what we value in life. Motherhood causes a major shift in identity. New moms can sometimes feel like they have lost not only their social life, sexiness, or value as a working professional, but more importantly, THEMSELVES. Whether it was planned to have a kid or not, reality sets in! This doesn’t mean that you don’t love your kid(s) or that you aren’t doing a good job as a parent or wife. It just means that you may need some time to rediscover yourself. In this episode I reveal what helps me feel more like myself again since having kids, and I give you 5 additional tips to consider in order to regain your self identity and overall self worth. “You were someone before you were their mom and she matters too”. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mombodvillage/support
