After working with thousands of women who have often felt unfulfilled, or that their life is "good" but not necessarily great and they can't shake this feeling that there is more for their life, I've come to realize that it is because of a loss of identity.
So many moms say they lost themselves in motherhood, but I believe they actually never knew who they we're before motherhood.
But why is that? Why does this happen? Why do we feel like this? How can we change it? It got me thinking, and I remembered this season my son went through where he was constantly upset about bananas. (Toddlers, am I right?!🤷♀️) If we peeled it, if we didn't peel it, if it was peeled too much or too little, there would be a melt down regularly.
Finally I realized I needed to get to the root of what was going on.. it wasn't the banana.
I asked him a question one-by-one. We went through a process of going deeper and deeper with his feelings and emotions and until I finally got to the bottom of what he was actually upset about and then I could address the actually issue (rather than tossing another banana in frustration). I take this approach with myself too, I'll pause and take a deep breath. I'll ask myself, why am I actually feeling this way? What is really going on?
And that was when I realized, asking better questions is the the only way to reclaim your identity beyond motherhood.
This process I had just walked my son through was truly the same process of women reclaiming their identities alongside motherhood.
I remember when I too felt like my son. Distraught over a banana. But it wasn't a banana for me, it was my life. The life I had thoughtfully created but yet felt stuck in.
I never want you to be where I was. I don't want you to continuing feeling the way that you feel now, which is exactly why I created the life map.
