The Identity Bitch Slap
Episode 1:
Mother Messiah: The Identity Bitch Slap
They say everything changes when you become a mother.
When you're not a mother, you kind of roll your eyes (and hope its not true) at that statement - at least I did. Motherhood was one of those things I thought I might experience in my lifetime, but never put too much weight into.
Welcome to the very first episode of Style Like a Mother🎉This episode is all about the wild ride called motherhood and how it completely flips your identity upside down. I call it the “identity bitch slap” because, it’s not just a shift, it’s a full-on slap. But guess what? It’s a slap that can lead to something beautiful, exciting, and totally new.
Here’s What We Talked About:
- 💌 The DM That Started It All: I opened Instagram and got the most perfect DM from someone asking if motherhood is as scary as people say. That question hit me hard and inspired this podcast. Spoiler: Yes, motherhood changes everything, but it doesn’t have to be terrifying.
- 🤰🏽 My Journey to Motherhood: I share my story of becoming a mom at 44—how I went from thinking motherhood wasn’t for me to accidentally getting pregnant and realizing it was the best thing that ever happened.
- 💥 The Identity Bitch Slap: Motherhood isn’t just an identity shift—it’s a slap. Your body changes, your style changes, your relationships change, your career changes. But what if those changes are perfectly timed and aligned? What if they’re actually kind of cool?
- 🖼 Reframing the Fear: I talk about choosing positivity over fear. Yes, some things suck (hello, postpartum body changes), but you can choose to make the experience exciting. I share how I leaned into the changes and found joy in the chaos.
- 🎙️Why This Podcast Exists: Motherhood forced me to adapt my business, and that’s how this podcast was born. It’s a space to talk about style, motherhood, self-improvement, and how we can redefine what’s possible.
Episode Highlights:
1️⃣ “Motherhood changes everything, but it’s a welcome change.”
2️⃣ “You get to birth two people: your baby and a new version of yourself.”
3️⃣ “Permission to create your own rules—just because it hasn’t been done before doesn’t mean it’s impossible.”
