Who Am I Now? Reclaiming Your Identity Through Every Season of Motherhood

Updated: Aug 3

There’s a quiet moment many mothers face—often in the middle of the chaos—when we pause and ask ourselves: “Who even am I anymore?”


Maybe it comes when your toddler finally sleeps, and the silence feels too unfamiliar - you have time to think. Maybe it hits as your child starts school, and you realise your days are shifting again. Or perhaps it lands years later, when your children no longer need you in the same way—and the space left behind feels vast and unknown. I support mothers through these very moments. The ones where your roles are changing, your children are growing, and you’re left wondering where you fit in anymore. You love your children deeply. But you also want to feel whole, grounded, and you again.


The Many Identity Shifts of Motherhood

Motherhood is not one identity shift—it’s a series of them. In the early years, you may feel consumed by the physical and emotional demands of raising toddlers. Your world can feel as though its shrunk to nappies, snacks, sleepless nights, and constant giving. You love them endlessly, but sometimes miss yourself fiercely.


As your children begin school, your daily routine opens up more—but so does the space where your previous career, passion, or sense of purpose once lived. In the teen years and beyond, your children need you differently—or not as much. The intensity may ease, but so can your sense of purpose. When they leave home, the shift can feel seismic. You’re proud—but also grieving. You raised them to be independent, but no one prepared you for how it would feel to no longer be needed in the same way.


Every phase brings change. And with change comes an opportunity to reclaim your identity—not by going back to who you were before, but by uncovering who you’re becoming now.


Rediscovering the Woman Within the Mother

At WildLight Connection, I offer mentoring that supports you in doing just that.

Through Identity work to help you understand your values, strengths, and what truly matters now- Inner child healing to reconnect with joy, softness, and long-forgotten parts of yourself

You deserve to grow through it.


You’re Allowed to Want More—At Every Stage

Whether you’re in the toddler trenches, navigating the school years, or facing an empty nest—you don’t have to lose yourself in the process. You’re not selfish for wanting space for your dreams, your voice, your wellbeing.


You’re evolving.

And you’re allowed to take up space while you do. Rediscovering yourself.


Let’s Walk This Journey Together

You don’t have to figure it out alone. I’ll walk beside you—wherever you are in your motherhood journey—and help you reconnect with the woman within the mother.


Because she’s still here.

And it’s her time, too.
