In this solo episode, Emily gets personal about something so many moms in entertainment rarely say out loud: “I didn’t know who I was anymore.” From sleepless nights to missing auditions, feeling disconnected from your creativity to not recognizing yourself in the mirror, she dives into the blurry, beautiful, and bumpy path of rediscovering your identity after having a baby.

Emily shares the real story of how becoming a mom shook—and ultimately reshaped—her sense of self as a woman and actor. She talks about what helped her feel like herself again, how motherhood has changed her work, and why reclaiming your identity is not a return to the past but an evolution.

Whether you’re deep in the baby years, pregnant and panicked, or years out and still figuring it out—this one’s for you.
