58. Maintaining Your Identity in Motherhood With @experiencemotherhood

The Expecting and Empowered Podcast

Elisabeth Emmerich is the mom to three boys, a play therapist, a licensed registered therapist in the state of Minnesota, and hosts her own podcast; Experience Motherhood. Today, Elisabeth is talking with us about the importance of embracing your individuality in motherhood and finding what matters most to you. We both share personal experiences of navigating motherhood and the challenges that come along with it.

Knowing who you are as a mom, first and foremost, is so important to the impact it has on your child’s development. Elisabeth encourages us to flip that narrative and think about the negative impact that not being yourself could have on your kids. She shares that by finding what matters the most to you in your motherhood journey will help you feel like what you are doing is enough.

Oftentimes, when we are first starting off in our parenthood journey we find that we have different values than our partner or our in-laws. Elisabeth explains that this is okay! And she helps us navigate how to have conversations with our loved ones about what we value most in parenthood to help ensure everyone is on the same page.

If you’re feeling like you’ve lost yourself in motherhood, need to take better care of yourself, and are looking for ways to do so - you’re going to want to listen to this episode. If you enjoy it, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag both of us; @expectingandempowered and @experiencemotherhood.
