In this episode I talk with Angie and answer the question, “How can I fall in love with my life again as a new mother?” Angie sometimes feels grief when she thinks of how her life used to be. It almost feels like she missed out on being young by getting married and having children in her early 20s. Overall, she wants to learn how to live this stage of life and feel like herself again.

Angie shares that before she had her baby, she looked forward to spending time with friends and being social. While she still loves this, it sometimes feels out of reach. Between her old friends not being in the same stage of life and other mothers feeling older or too different to be relatable, Angie feels lonely.

I challenge Angie to be curious about other mothers instead of feeling like they have to be the same age in order to connect. What can she learn from other women? What do they have in common? One great part of motherhood is that it can bond you to other moms, no matter your ages.
