908. Postpartum update part 2: The gift of losing parts of yourself in motherhood

Almost 30

Show Notes

Lindsey is back with part two of her postpartum catch-up, getting honest about personal growth, relationships, and identity after becoming a mom of two. She shares what this season has taught her about asking for help, letting go of comparison, and giving herself permission to do motherhood her own way.

She opens up about marriage, couples therapy, communication, and the reality of doing the relationship work while raising two kids. She also talks about how her priorities have shifted, what she’s temporarily letting go of, and why she’s learning to trust the timing of her creativity + career.

Most of all, Lindsey reflects on the identity shift that comes with a major life transition—and why uncertainty doesn’t have to mean confusion. This is a reminder to give yourself grace, stay present, and trust that the next version of you is allowed to look different.

We also talk about:

Building a childcare + support system that actually works for you

Why you shouldn’t compare your motherhood to anyone else’s

Marriage, couples therapy, and staying connected through big life changes

Why communication gets harder when you’re overwhelmed

The identity shift that comes with becoming a mom of two

Letting go of perfection, productivity, and pressure

Putting creativity + career on the back burner without abandoning them

Trusting the ebb + flow of priorities, relationships, and self-care

Entering a new decade with more uncertainty, curiosity, and trust
