“Who Am I Now?” – Rediscovering Myself After Motherhood & Divorce

EPISODE 1: Reclaiming My Identity After Motherhood & Divorce

In today’s episode, I’m getting real about how I lost myself in early motherhood — and what it took to start finding my way back. I open up about the moment I realised I was deeply unhappy in my marriage, how turning 30 during lockdown triggered a major life shift, and why learning to prioritise myself was the most powerful (and hardest) thing I’ve ever done.

We talk about:

• The subtle ways we lose our identity in motherhood

• How I went from “mum mode” to “rediscovering Maggie”

• The role hobbies played in rebuilding my sense of self

• Why your story outside of motherhood matters (and why your kids need to see it!)

• The moment a throwaway comment from a teenager inspired a memoir — and how it made me think differently about what we pass down to our children

Plus, I share how this podcast and the Not Just A Mum community came to be — and how you can get involved.
