Losing Yourself in Motherhood? Let’s Talk About It with Ashley Beatty

Identity. Motherhood. Who You Become. In this conversation, Lisa sits down with motherhood + self-development coach Ashley Beatty to unravel how becoming a parent reshapes every corner of your identity.

They dig into the messy, beautiful, contradictory parts of motherhood, the parts most women experience but not enough talk about out loud.

If you’re navigating midlife, motherhood, or rediscovering who you are, this episode brings clarity, compassion, and a few well-placed truth bombs.

What You’ll Hear

  • How motherhood completely rewires identity — and why that’s not a bad thing

  • The real meaning of matrescence (and why more women need this word)

  • The emotional duality of parenting: joy and frustration can coexist

  • Why “perfect motherhood” is a trap built by societal expectations

  • How self-awareness becomes your superpower as a parent

  • Why open, honest conversations normalize the hard parts

  • The ongoing journey of personal growth (yes, even after the kids aren’t little)

  • When your child’s needs don’t match your expectations — and what to do with that

    • How reflecting on your own story strengthens how you show up as a parent
