Becoming a mother changes more than your schedule. It can transform your identity, relationships, body, ambitions, and the way you understand yourself.

In the first episode of Motherhood Needs a Disclaimer, Alaina Tucker shares her experience navigating identity after motherhood as a first-time mom. She reflects on her emergency C-section, postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, the mental load of motherhood, body changes, marriage, friendships, and the challenge of pursuing personal goals while caring for a baby.

This honest conversation explores:

• Why the transition into motherhood can feel so emotionally intense
• Loving your baby while missing parts of your former life
• The invisible mental load mothers carry
• Adjusting to postpartum body and identity changes
• Making space for your dreams, relationships, and needs
• Giving yourself grace as you grow into motherhood

You can be deeply grateful to be a mother and still need time to understand who you are becoming.
