Who Am I Now That I'm a Parent?
Becoming a parent changes everything—but does it change who you are?
In this episode of Tired But Called, host Dani Kinchen explores the identity shift many parents (especially moms) experience after having children. If you’ve ever wondered “Who am I now?”, felt like you’ve lost parts of yourself, or struggled with an identity crisis in motherhood, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.
Drawing from recent studies on motherhood and identity, Dani looks at why so many parents feel defined solely by parenting—and then turns to God’s Word for grounding truth and hope. You’ll be reminded that while your season has changed, your identity in Christ has not. God calls you his child, heir, and friend—before parenthood and after.
