In this episode, I explain why Pink became the heart of this project and what it truly represents for me. Pink isn’t about a colour or a stereotype—it’s about identity. It’s about who we were before motherhood, what parts of ourselves got quieter along the way, and how easy it is to lose sight of ourselves while caring for everyone else. I share how motherhood reshaped me, how my sense of self evolved, and why reclaiming your “pink” isn’t about going back to who you were, but allowing yourself to grow into who you are becoming.

This conversation is an invitation to pause and reflect on the parts of you that still matter, even when life feels full and overwhelming. Why Pink sets the foundation for this podcast—creating space for honest stories, shared experiences, and the reminder that you are allowed to take up space, ask questions, and reconnect with yourself in the middle of motherhood.

Key Takeaways

1. Reclaiming your identity doesn’t mean undoing motherhood—it means integrating who you are now
2. Personal growth often starts with awareness, not action or perfection
3. Naming what feels lost can be the first step toward healing and reconnection
4. Giving yourself permission to evolve helps break cycles of guilt and self-neglect

About The Host: 

Dr. Christelle Oliver-Dussault is a family physician with a clinical focus on aesthetic medicine, women’s health, and psycho-education. Her work is grounded in a holistic, whole-person approach that integrates medical science with a deep appreciation of the mind–body connection. Alongside her clinical practice, she is deeply committed to medical education and mentors the next generation of family physicians through her work with the Department of Family Medicine at the University of British Columbia.

She is the founder of the Get Your Pink Back Project, a community created to support women through life’s most profound transitions. This project was born from personal experience. After becoming a mother, Dr. Oliver-Dussault became aware of a quiet but profound shift in her sense of self, one she had long observed in her patients, yet only fully understood once she lived it herself. What had once been a clinical observation became a deeply personal insight, shaping the lens through which she now supports and guides other women.
