Feeling lost in motherhood? As a mom who has been there, I completely understand what you’re going through and can assure you that it’s normal… but I want to offer you a different perspective.
While you may be feeling lost in motherhood, have you ever considered…?
-
Maybe you’re just naturally immersed in it—deeply involved (especially in a season that’s all-encompassing) vs. unable to be found or find your own way out as the word “lost” implies.
-
Maybe you just never had the opportunity to fully process the changes you’ve gone through in becoming a mom because society doesn’t respect postpartum or matrescence and only cares that you bounce “back” rather than evolve and move forward.
-
Maybe you’re just struggling to feel like you because you don’t fully know this version of her yet and are still grieving your pre-kids life (but because that’s taboo to talk about, you’ve been led to believe what you feel is wrong).
-
Maybe you just haven’t been given enough encouragement and space to prioritize yourself (your own needs, interests, goals, and desires) as an individual—a whole person who is also a mom.
-
Maybe you just have limited time or energy for yourself because it’s become normalized for moms to always self-sacrifice for their kids, get the bare minimum support, yet be expected to never complain.
-
Maybe you’re just feeling alone because you haven’t had a way to deeply connect with other moms—be in community where you can freely discuss your shared experiences and help each other through them without judgement.
The thing is, like so many other common beliefs and expectations about motherhood, this idea of being lost in motherhood—especially when used in an almost condescending way-is a bit misguided and misleading.
And ultimately, the reasons why we may be struggling are not our fault.
The biggest issues do not lie with us individually as moms.
Instead, it’s lack of correct information… lack of support… lack of respect.
It’s lack of community… lack of honesty… lack of acceptance.
It’s normalizing things for moms that aren’t actually normal. And pathologizing things that are.
If this resonated with you… you’re not alone—and you’re surely not lost and never to be found again!
You’re a mom navigating one of the most profound transformations of your life, and it makes complete sense that you might feel disoriented at times. I’ve been there too—questioning who I was, where I went, and how to come back to myself while still showing up for my family.
But now, that’s exactly why I do what I do.
Through personalized, holistic support and a whole lot of compassion, I help moms like you reconnect with your body, your energy, and your sense of self—so you can move through motherhood feeling nourished, resilient, and more you again.
You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Let’s walk through this season together.
