Finding Yourself Beyond Motherhood: A Journey of Rediscovery
Motherhood is an extraordinary adventure—a role that’s both fulfilling and all-consuming. Yet, in the midst of raising children, many mothers find themselves wondering: Who am I beyond being a mum?
I’ve been there. When I became a mum, my world revolved around my two children. Overtime, though, I realised I’d lost touch with the person I was before motherhood. I adored being a mum but felt a deep need to reconnect with the person I had become—what did my dreams, ambitions, and passions now look like?
That realisation marked the beginning of my journey, and it’s what inspired me to create my coaching business to help other mums do the same. Here are the key steps that helped me rediscover myself, and how they can help you too:
1. Give Yourself Permission to Explore
Mums often feel guilty for wanting time to themselves, but self-care isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. I learnt that carving out “me time” not only recharged me but also allowed me to explore new interests. Whether it’s picking up a hobby, joining a class, or simply journaling, experimenting is key to reconnecting with what lights you up.
2. Start Small and Build Confidence
Rediscovery doesn’t mean overhauling your life overnight. My journey began with small steps—trying new activities, reconnecting with old interests, and saying yes to opportunities outside my comfort zone. Each step built my confidence and brought me closer to finding clarity.
3. Surround Yourself With Supportive Voices
Connecting with others who understood my journey was transformative. Through open conversations with other mums and supportive communities, I discovered inspiration and ideas that guided me forward. Surrounding yourself with people who uplift you can make all the difference.
4. Embrace the Process
Rediscovery is about the journey, not just the destination. There were moments of uncertainty, but each experience taught me something new about myself. By staying open, I found a renewed sense of purpose and fulfilment that led to creating my coaching business.
You’re More Than a Mum
Motherhood is a beautiful part of who you are, but it’s not all you are. You’re a woman with dreams, talents, and aspirations that deserve attention. Rediscovering yourself will not only enrich your life but also set an inspiring example for your children.
