You were someone before pregnancy and parenthood—but where did that person go? Motherhood is a gift of unimaginable love and happiness. But in between playdates and naptime, you can’t help but miss certain things from your old life…and answering to your real name instead of “Mom.” The identity collision of becoming a mother can leave you scrambling to reinvent yourself. With the glory of motherhood comes unexpected emotions of anger, anxiety, and even postpartum depression, as new responsibilities provide new challenges.

You’ll discover: Why guilt, shame, and unrealistic expectations are robbing you of joy—and skills to stop the cycle. What you can learn from the Happy Moms Study of over 600 women struggling to achieve a balanced life. Five facets of your identity to nurture to avoid becoming an all-in mom. Strategies to better pursue purpose and meaning—without depending on your kids. A weekly planner to stay on top of your own journey back to you.
