Why Mothers Lose Themselves

You didn’t stop being a woman the day you became a mother. But somewhere along the way, you may have stopped feeling like yourself. If you’ve spent years putting everyone else’s needs before your own, losing touch with your dreams, your joy, your friendships, and even your identity, this episode is for you. Today, we’re talking about the quiet way women disappear inside motherhood. We’ll unpack why so many mothers believe self-sacrifice is the price of love, what your children may be learning from watching you abandon yourself, and why choosing yourself doesn’t take anything away from your family. It allows them to experience the healthiest version of you. I’m Patty the Connector, your Problem-Solving Queen.
