Dear mother(s),

Do you feel like you’ve lost a part of yourself since becoming a mother?

Do you ever question if your dreams and ambitions still matter?

Do you find yourself feeling like your entire existence revolves around your children?

Do you feel guilty for wanting something more than motherhood?

Do you feel like your personal goals have taken a backseat?

Do you ever wonder if you’ll ever get back to feeling like yourself again?

Do you find yourself unsure of who you are beyond being a mother?

Do you feel like your sense of self-worth is tied only to your role as a mother?

Do you find yourself constantly putting everyone else’s needs before your own?

Do you find yourself feeling trapped in your daily routine?

Do you wonder if it’s possible to be both a good mother and your true self?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be going through moments of identity loss.

This is something many mothers experience, often without realizing it. Identity loss happens when the person you once were seems to disappear beneath the weight of motherhood responsibilities. You might find yourself questioning who you are outside of your role as a mother or feeling disconnected from the passions, dreams, and goals that once defined you.

But don’t worry, you are not alone. I have been there too! That is why I am here today to help you navigate this part of your life and reconnect with your true self!

What does identity loss look or feel like?

Identity loss can show up in different ways. You might notice that your life revolves almost entirely around your children, leaving little room for anything else. The hobbies you once loved are gathering dust, your career may feel like a distant memory, and your social life has shrunk. Instead of thinking about what you want, you constantly focus on your family’s needs. You might even struggle to remember what truly makes you happy outside of being a mother or what you truly want in life.

How does identity loss develop?

For many mothers, identity loss develops gradually. It often starts with small sacrifices—like giving up time for your hobbies, dreams, or your self-care time to care for your children. Over time, these small choices accumulate, and suddenly, you realize you’ve lost touch with the things that used to make you feel alive. The constant demands of parenting can make it feel like there’s no space for you as an individual. Your identity becomes more and more defined by your role as a mother, and the person you used to be feels distant.

Is identity loss affecting my life?

If you’ve been feeling stuck in achieving your dreams or moving toward your goals, identity loss might be the hidden root cause. When you lose touch with who you are, it becomes harder to pursue personal ambitions or even remember what those ambitions were. You may feel unsure about what you want from life or feel like you don’t have the energy or time to devote to your passions anymore. The sense of being trapped in the role of “just a mother” can create mental and emotional barriers that stop you from going after your dreams.

Reconnecting with your identity isn’t just about feeling better in the moment—it’s also about rediscovering your long-term goals and passions. By reclaiming who you are, you open up space to dream again and take actionable steps toward your fulfillment.
