The phrase "having it all" sounds empowering, but more often than not, it feels like an impossible standard. Social media has only intensified this pressure by showing us curated highlight reels that suggest everyone else is balancing motherhood, career, relationships, and personal passions with ease.

But what we don't see are the sacrifices made behind the scenes. The skipped meals, the missed workouts, the late nights and emotional toll. And when we do struggle, we often feel like we’re failing—as mums, partners, professionals, or simply as women.

So many of us were raised to be good girls, good mums, good wives. We were told not to be too loud, too messy, too ambitious. We were taught to be selfless to the point of invisibility.

But what if we unlearned all of that? What if instead of shrinking, we allowed ourselves to expand?

Motherhood is a wild ride. One minute, you’re navigating sleepless nights and toddler tantrums; the next, you’re wondering when you stopped recognizing the person in the mirror.

If you’ve ever found yourself asking, Who am I now?, you’re not alone. And here’s the good news—you don’t have to “go back” to who you were. You get to rediscover yourself in a way that makes sense for you now.
