May 27, 2026 · 19 min

Show notes

You finally get the quiet.

The time.

The space you've been saying you need.

And then something unexpected happens.

You don't quite know what to do with it.

In this episode, Andi explores identity, working motherhood, and the quiet ways we can slowly lose connection with ourselves... not all at once, but in tiny, reasonable decisions that build over time.

If you've ever thought:

"I'll get back to myself when life calms down..."

This conversation is for you.

If something in this season landed for you, this is the episode to share.

Topics covered: working mom identity crisis, losing yourself in motherhood, working mom self care, finding yourself after kids, mom mental health, reclaiming identity motherhood, working mom overwhelm, working mom burnout, working mom coach
