June 16, 2025 Why Motherhood Feels Hard for High-Achievers: The Identity Shift No One Talks About
Do you feel like you're constantly asking yourself, “What am I doing wrong?”
Are you wondering why something you wanted so badly now feels so overwhelming?
Have you ever thought, “I used to feel so capable… why do I feel like I’m failing now?”

Are you silently sacrificing your mental health, identity, or sanity to be the “perfect” mom?
What if instead, you could feel emotionally grounded, clear, and connected - even in the messy moments?

It’s possible. And it’s not about doing more - it’s about shifting how you see yourself and redefining what success actually means now.

If you're like most high-achieving, thoughtful first-time moms, you entered motherhood with a plan, a playlist, and a spreadsheet.
And yet, you’re left feeling lost in the day-to-day chaos, wondering where your confident, capable self went.
In today’s episode, I’ll guide you through why this transition feels so disorienting for high achievers, and why the emotional unraveling you may be experiencing is actually a sign of something sacred unfolding. I’ll walk you through four core identity challenges new moms face, introduce you to the concept of matrescence, and offer a powerful new definition of success for this season of life.

Whether you’re buried under the pressure to “do it right,” questioning your worth because your to-do list is undone, or feeling like you’re quietly falling apart - you’re not alone.
And you’re not broken.
You can show up in motherhood feeling whole, grounded, and more yourself- not less.
And in this episode, I’ll help you begin that journey back to you.

May 26, 2025Becoming a Mom, Losing Myself, and Finding My Way Back: Meet Your Host, Dina Tamres
Have you ever asked yourself…
Why does this feel so hard when I wanted it so much?
How can I be so in love with my baby and still feel like I’ve lost myself?
Other moms seem to be handling this better than me. Am I just not cut out for this?
Everyone keeps saying 'you're a natural'- but I feel like I'm barely holding it together...
You’re not alone. And it’s not just you.
In this very first episode of Here With You, Mama, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own story — as a trauma therapist, a planner, a high-achieving woman, and a mother who thought she was ready… but wasn’t prepared for the emotional identity shift that came with motherhood.
I share my journey through miscarriage (content warning), the overwhelming early postpartum days, and how even with all my training, I felt completely unprepared for what becoming a mother would feel like.
But here’s the light at the end of the tunnel:
What if you didn’t have to figure this out alone?
What if instead of sacrificing your sense of self to be a good mom, you could reclaim it — and show up even more grounded, connected, and present for the life you’re building?
In this episode, you’ll hear why I created Here With You, Mama — a space where we talk honestly about the real, raw emotional experience of motherhood. This isn’t about parenting hacks or quick fixes. This is about you. About tending to your own inner world so you can feel like yourself again — while still being the incredible mama you already are.
If you’ve ever sat in the dark with your baby and wondered when it gets easier, this is your space.
And this is just the beginning.
What You’ll Walk Away With:
The truth about the identity shift in early motherhood

Why emotional preparation is essential (and overlooked)

The reassurance that you are not broken — you are becoming

A safe space to feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow
