In my first episode back after a three-year hiatus giving birth and raising my babies, I open up about what it actually feels like to come out of the postpartum fog. After two back-to-back pregnancies, suddenly I don’t fully recognize my life, or myself, anymore.
There’s a moment in life no one really prepares you for. The moment where everything you ever wanted is finally here. The love, the partner, the babies, the home, the life you spent years dreaming about, and yet, somewhere inside of it, you feel like you’ve disappeared.
This is a conversation about identity. About nervous system truth. About the difference between a life that looks good and one that actually feels good.
If you’re a mother who feels stretched between who you used to be and who you are now, if you’ve built a life that “should” make you happy but something feels off, if you’re craving a way back to yourself, your voice, your energy — this episode is for you.
Highlights:
The disorienting “waking up” after survival mode
Losing yourself in love, motherhood, and the life you thought you wanted
The pressure to be grateful when something doesn’t feel right
The quiet resentment that builds when you ignore your body’s cues
And the truth so many women are afraid to say out loud: just because you’re good at something… doesn’t mean it’s meant for you
You’re Invited is produced by Six-Two Studio.
