Motherhood has a way of rewriting the story we thought we had planned.

In this powerful episode of Musings of a Geriatric Mama, Kedna Amey sits down with mindset and business coach Gigi Diaz to explore the unexpected realities of motherhood, identity transformation, and entrepreneurship.

Gigi shares her journey from believing she didn’t want children to becoming a mother and discovering that motherhood requires not just adding another role—but becoming an entirely new version of yourself.

Together, Kedna and Gigi discuss the grief of leaving behind the “old you,” the pressure of social expectations around motherhood, and the importance of trusting your intuition as a woman and mother.

They also dive into Gigi’s 3R System: Re-evaluate, Restructure, Reset, and how entrepreneurial tools can help women navigate motherhood with strategy, compassion, and confidence.

This episode is an honest and empowering conversation about redefining motherhood on your own terms.
