Rediscovering identity and self amidst the chaos of motherhood is no small feat. Join me and out guest Amanda Clark as she shares her struggle with self-abandonment due to early life trauma and her journey towards reclaiming her dreams and ambitions.

We also dive deep into the intricacies of motherhood and self-awareness, exploring the societal conditioning that often leads women to suppress their desires for people pleasing, creating resentment and burnout in relationships. This episode invites you to reexamine the concept of "toxic femininity" and the courage it takes to communicate authentic needs and emotions. By addressing complex feelings like grief and vulnerability, we challenge traditional expectations of what it means to be a "good" woman or mother, emphasizing the necessity of embracing these emotions for genuine self-fulfillment.

Finally, we explore the transformative power of emotional healing and the normalcy of grief in the face of change. Amanda and I discuss how societal norms can stifle authentic emotional expression and the importance of resetting our nervous systems to trust our instincts. By balancing self-care with societal expectations, we uncover the profound power in nurturing our well-being. This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the beauty in embracing our full humanity and the strength found in honoring our emotional needs.
