Who Even Am I Anymore? - Losing (and finding) yourself while raising teens.

Who Even Am I Anymore?

The Identity Crisis Mums Aren’t Talking About

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Where did I go?” this episode is for you.

Tammy and Carolyn are diving into something quietly heartbreaking but oh-so-common: the slow, invisible identity shift that happens when motherhood becomes all-consuming. From cleaning the attic and finding glittery mixtapes, to freezing at the question “What do you do for fun?”, they share raw stories of what it feels like to lose touch with your old self, even while being proud of who you’ve become.

You'll explore:

  • Why motherhood often leads to subtle self-erasure (and why it's not your fault)
  • The pressure to be everything to everyone, and how it quietly rewires your sense of self
  • Why remembering your former self is good for your brain and your wellbeing
  • the grief of self-loss, even in a life you love, and why it's valid to feel both

Plus, as always, they share three tiny tools to help you start reconnecting with you:

  1. The 5-Minute Former Self Practice: a daily invitation to dance, dream or just remember what used to light you up.
  2. A Journalling Prompt: to gently rediscover what brings you joy.
  3. Mirror Moments: a weekly ritual to ask yourself "Who am I becoming, and who do I want to bring with me?"


This isn’t about going backwards, it’s about integrating the parts of you that matter most, and reminding yourself (and your family) that you are more than the logistics manager.

You’re still in there, even if you’ve been busy being everything to everyone.
