When it comes to identity, there is a common misconception. In our society, identity is bound by our roles: mother, husband, daughter and professional. But identity is much more than that. It is the core of who we are, our essence. Because the concept of identity is linked to our roles, it is logical that the transformation in motherhood gives you the feeling that you are losing yourself. Motherhood takes over and you may think that the rest of you is completely gone. You want to rediscover yourself in motherhood.
If you feel that way, know that it is your perception, usually based on social values. Motherhood changes you, but not the core of who you are. Motherhood will undoubtedly change your life: your habits, how you think, how you feel, how you perceive the world. These are enormous changes, but they don’t take away from you. The idea of loss of identity gives a negative sentence and a feeling that you no longer know who you are.
Many people talk about how you can rediscover yourself in motherhood, but I have a different perspective on this. I see motherhood as a better coordination with who you are. Your essence wants to be expressed and motherhood allows you to release all the blockages that prevent you from becoming who you are. So in a sense you cannot rediscover yourself because it yourself was that you were not your identity before, but a construction based on social values. Is it logical?
You do not lose and rediscover yourself in motherhood. You match your true self.
Motherhood enables you to cure your wounds, let go of your generation desk and adapt to your soul path. When you get the idea to lose yourself in motherhood and to discover, rediscover, you get a bird’s eye view of your situation. You can see the opportunity to transform yourself and better adapt to your essence, core and true identity. The person you were earlier is gone, but it’s not a loss. It is an opportunity if this concept feels a bit foggy; Let me tell you a bit about how I was in motherhood.
My transition to motherhood was a challenge. I had a traumatic birth and postpartum depression and fear, and I felt that I lost myself in motherhood. This experience brought unsolved trauma and emotions from my past. I worked to cure and break generation cycles, and the person who came from all this was new. I have not rediscovered myself in motherhood. I found my true self in motherhood, the person I meant.
In addition to healing myself, I was called to help other expectant mothers and mothers and I found my calling as a mother coach and energy healer. The transition to motherhood was the catalyst for my spiritual awakening, my healing and my coordination with my soul path. You do not lose and rediscover yourself in motherhood. Motherhood has an incredible healing force if you imagine it, and it allows you to become the best version of yourself, who integrate parts of your past itself and your current self. It’s a new you.
