The Woman Before The Mother: Rediscover HerStory To Honor Her Journey
Motherhood changes everything. It stretches us, reshapes us, and asks us to become more than we ever thought we could be. But in the midst of diapers, bedtime stories, and endless to-do lists, one question often lingers in the background: Who was I before I became a mother?
This is the question that inspired my new series, The Woman Before the Mother—a heartfelt exploration of the identities, passions, and dreams that existed before motherhood took center stage.
In this series, I will share my story of the woman I was and the woman I fight to keep alive. I will use my love of writing and storytelling to help moms do the same.
We lived entire lives before having children. There is beauty in that story. I believe the woman and the mother are one story, a continuation of one another.
Rediscovering that woman will help to integrate the best parts of ourselves.
Why This Series Matters
So often, mothers are expected to wear their role as an all-encompassing identity, leaving little room for the woman who existed before. But the truth is, that woman still matters. She shaped the mother we’ve become. She carried dreams, ambitions, and a spirit that still deserves recognition.
Through personal reflections, poetry, and real conversations, this series will dive into:
• The struggle to hold onto personal identity after motherhood.
• The grief of losing parts of ourselves along the way.
• The beauty of rediscovering passions that have been tucked away.
• The empowerment of reclaiming who we are outside of being “Mom.”
What You Can Expect
Each piece in this series will be raw, reflective, and real—designed to spark connection and conversation. Whether it’s a personal poem, a journal entry, or a deep dive into the unspoken struggles of motherhood, every word is meant to remind you: You are not alone.
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wondered where “she” went—this series is for you. If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting something beyond motherhood—this series is for you. If you need permission to embrace every part of your story—this series is for you.
