Identity Loss: Why You Lose Yourself in Motherhood

Susie goes deep into a common topic that resonates with many mothers – the journey of losing, and rediscovering, one's identity in the context of motherhood. It's a story that many mothers share, but it's one that society doesn't often pause to truly understand, because it's more than just losing your identity: it means identifying the systematic inequalities that many mothers face.

Topics include:

  • What your identity is and how it is formed

  • Matrescence, which is the transition into motherhood

  • Why you lose your identity in motherhood (spoiler alert, it's not your fault!)

  • Actions you can take to regain a sense of self
