In today’s episode of Expanded Mamas, we’re talking about the importance of reconnecting with yourself—especially in seasons of motherhood where you feel pulled in a million directions.

We explore what disconnection really looks like, how it creeps in (even when things seem “fine”), and why the most powerful thing you can do isn't push through—but pause, breathe, and come back home to yourself.

Whether you’re in the thick of early motherhood, juggling a full schedule, or just feeling a little off—you’ll walk away from this episode with practical ways to reconnect, plus a few soulful reminders that you’re allowed to take up space in your own life again.

What we cover:

• Why we lose connection with ourselves (and how to spot it)

• The mental, emotional, and even spiritual cost of constant output

• Science behind nervous system regulation + how pausing helps

• Simple ways to reconnect daily—even when time is tight

• A permission slip to slow down, breathe, and remember who you are
