Navigating the Motherhood Identity Crisis

The transition to motherhood finds many of us emotionally and mentally unprepared. When you become a mother, your previous identity changes and transitions into something new. If we don’t recognize it, we may have an identity crisis.

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • What an identity crisis is and when we normally see them.

  • The red flags that indicate that you might be in an identity crisis 

  • Questions you can ask yourself to get out of an identity crisis

  • The ways we make time for ourselves in the midst of a busy motherhood season.

Key Points:

  • Things are going to change a lot in motherhood. There are many phases and stages.

  • Permit yourself to think about what's going on at every step and transition in motherhood.

  • Without an identity in Christ, you don't have true North when circumstances change.

  • It is normal to feelings of grief as we transition through seasons of motherhood.

  • An identity crisis is often accompanied by feelings that you're not being who you're supposed to be.

  • Bring the core qualities of who you are into everything you do, no matter what job or stage of motherhood you find yourself in.
