Whether it’s something you’ve wanted your whole life or something that sorta just happened, the shift to motherhood and all that it entails can catch you by surprise. Suddenly, your life feels like it revolves around feeding, sleeping, enrichment activities, mom groups…the list goes on. So what happens to all of the things that made you YOU before becoming a mom? Can you find a way to prioritizethem without feeling guilt for doing so?
We are so excited to be joined by Robin Hilmantel, senior director of editorial strategy and growth at BabyCenter, and, most importantly, mom of 3 boys! This week, Erin and Ruby use Robin’s professional expertise to weigh in on what the BabyCenter community of moms has to say about the pressures to abandon the parts of yourself that you valued after becoming a parent. From acknowledging the presence of the identity shift, to implementing (practical!!!) self-care strategies, this group will cover it all!
