How to Find Yourself again as a Mum
A Personal Journey Back to Me There was a time when I could answer the question, “Who are you?” without hesitation. I would have described myself as curious, creative, and driven. However, somewhere along the way—amidst sleepless nights, endless diaper changes, school runs, and quiet sacrifices—I lost touch with how to respond. It wasn’t until I began to rediscover myself that I realised how far I had drifted from the woman I used to be. I became a mother. That role is beautiful, powerful, and life-changing; however, it also gradually consumes everything else. Have you ever felt like you’ve given so much of yourself that there’s hardly anything left? This post is for you. I understand this struggle, and I want to share how you can rediscover yourself as a mom. It’s never too late to find yourself again after motherhood. The Moment I Knew I had Lost Myself I didn’t wait for a perfect time to dive back into what I loved. I made time—even if it was just 15 minutes after bedtime stories or a quiet early morning before the house woke up. For me, it was writing. I poured my heart into my writing—blog posts, notes to self, and random thoughts. It wasn’t about being perfect. It was about reconnecting and beginning to rediscover myself after motherhood. If you’re learning to prioritise yourself again, you might find encouragement in my post on setting boundaries through self-love. What lights you up? Singing? Painting? Learning something new? It doesn’t have to be grand—it just has to be yours. Mum, You’re Still in There – Rediscover yourself You haven’t disappeared. Maybe you’ve just been quiet for a while. But that woman, the one with dreams, a quirky laugh, a curious mind, and a soul that longs for more? She is still there. You don’t have to choose between being a good mother and being true to yourself. You can be both. To rediscover yourself after motherhood isn’t about going back. It’s not about becoming who you were before the children came. It’s about becoming someone new, wiser, stronger, and even more in tune with who you are now. You Deserve to Dream Again Yes, you do. It’s not too late. You are not behind; neither are you too old or too far gone. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just start small. Start with curiosity. Start by listening to your heart again. Because when you rediscover yourself after motherhood, something beautiful happens:You begin to model for your children what it looks like to live with courage, purpose, and joy. Let’s Talk Have you felt lost in motherhood, too? What’s something you’d love to reclaim for yourself? I’d love to hear your story. Drop a comment below—let’s walk this journey together.
