Let's face it moms, we all go through some sort of an identity crisis when we first become a mother. In a matter of months, we become responsible for the life of a tiny human being. We do a lot of preparation for before and when the baby comes to make sure we are ready to be moms. However, one thing we do not do is prepare for how much our individual identities change as a result of motherhood. Some of us eventually lose essence of who we are and lose our identity in our roles as mothers.
My guest today, Jenny Elliot is sharing her experience with having an identity crisis as a working mom. She is also giving tips and tools to all working moms to help you navigate this journey called motherhood while maintaining your individual identity, dreams and goals.
In this episode, we discuss:
- the importance of creating your own version mom life
- the role systems play in life success
- 5 tips to help you navigate the identity crisis of motherhood
About Jenny
Jenny is a Career Mom. She is a mom to a 2.5 year old son, married to her husband for 7 years and has had a career in corporate America with a fortune 100 company for over a decade. After Jenny had her son she was so unprepared for the identity crisis she experienced when she returned to her career. It was that experience that led her to start her podcast, Career Mom, where she has conversations with working moms about the joys and challenges of raising child while juggling careers. Being a mom is hard. Having a career is hard. Doing both is REALLY hard!
