👻 Spooky season edition: what’s scarier than becoming a ghost in your own life?

In this episode, Sam breaks down why so many moms feel like they’ve lost themselves in motherhood and what’s really happening beneath the surface.

You’ll learn:

• What identity actually is and how it’s formed (Erik Erikson, James Marcia, Dan McAdams)
• How motherhood triggers one of life’s biggest identity transformations
• What matrescence really means, and why it’s often compared to adolescence
• Why “losing yourself” isn’t failure, but a normal part of this developmental shift
• How to start understanding who you are and who you’re becoming

Because when you understand the psychology and sociology of motherhood identity, it’s easier to make peace with how much you’ve changed.

If you’ve ever said, “I don’t even know who I am anymore,” this episode will help you name it and maybe even find comfort in the becoming.

🎧 Listen in, save for later, and share this episode with a mom who’s in her own identity shift.
