Rediscovering Your Identity While Embracing Motherhood: Thriving Beyond the First Two Years

Mommy, Who Am I? Finding Yourself Amidst Lost Pacifiers and Endless 'Why' Questions!

Remember when you had a name – one that wasn't 'Mommy' shouted from across the room? Yeah, your pre-mom persona is still there, buried under layers of spit-up clothes and educational toddler apps. Welcome to the phase postpartum not many discuss—the phase where you're supposed to remember you're more than just a top-tier snack maker, a human Kleenex, and the reigning champion of lullabies that would make Mariah Carey jealous.

Everyone warns you about the sleepless nights, the diaper explosions, and the unsolicited parenting advice from everyone and their dog during the first few years. But what they fail to mention is that after the initial whirlwind, you're left standing in the eye of the storm asking, "Now, who am I again?" Now that you're over 24 months postpartum, let's dive into the magnificent chaos of rediscovering you—beyond motherhood.

Your kids think you're a superhero because you are.

Let's face it: motherhood is a full-contact sport. You've mastered the art of dodging the sticky fingers, you've survived multiple renditions of the 'Why?' gauntlet, and somewhere in between, you might have forgotten your own superpowers. While your child now has enough words to create intricate stories ('Once upon a time, Mommy lost her keys...again!'), it's time for you to rewrite your own story, too.

Step one? Ackno

Rediscovering yourself isn’t all about what has been lost; it's about embrace. Motherhood doesn’t take away - it adds layers. And while peeling back those layers to self-discovery, remember: It’s okay to let loose, to have fun, and even to have that extra scoop of ice cream (or three). Roar back into
