Who were you before Motherhood?

And where did she go?

This week on Doing It All, we're getting painfully honest (what else is new?!) about the identity shifts that happen after motherhood—the confidence, hobbies, spontaneity, style, routines, and personality traits that are now buried under the hefty load of managing 47 open mental tabs.

We're talking about:

- Identity loss

- Grieving an era while loving this one

- Confidence, style and body changes

- Reclaiming our time, our hobbies and our joy

A listener writes in with a confession we're sure every Mom has also said to themselves. Plus, Maya shares her new screen time philosophy and why she's releasing herself from parenting perfectionism. We also pay homage to the versions of ourselves who stayed in a salon and used to leave the house with only a lip gloss and a dream!

This episode is funny, vulnerable, validating, and for every woman who has ever looked in the mirror and thought:

“Wait… where did I go?”The goal isn’t becoming who we were before kids.
It’s making room for who we are now — while still letting the old version of ourselves come dance in the kitchen sometimes.
