I Miss Who I Was Before Motherhood

Motherhood changes everything…including your identity. This post explores the often-unspoken grief moms feel over losing the version of themselves they were before kids. From mental load and burnout to the emotional toll of always being needed, it's a real and valid experience. If you’ve ever thought, “I miss who I used to be,” you’re not alone. Therapy for mothers, including therapy intensives in Ohio, can help you process the grief, rediscover yourself, and find peace in this new chapter, without erasing who you were before.
