Ever felt like you’ve lost yourself since becoming a mom? You’re not alone, and you’re definitely not broken. In this episode of Worthy Mother Podcast, Emily sits down with Krissy Bold, former teacher turned stay-at-home mom and identity advocate, to unpack the real, raw experience of navigating identity after motherhood. Together, they explore the identity crisis so many moms experience, why it’s actually normal (hello, matrescence!), and how you can begin to reconnect with the woman behind the "mom" title.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why the identity shift in motherhood is both common and normal
• How to recognize the signs of an identity crisis
• What “matrescence” means — and why it matters
• Simple ways to reconnect with joy, creativity, and your whole self
• How connection, silliness, and micro-habits can help you rediscover who you are

Now is your moment to get in touch with your identity beyond the role of mom, and this episode will help you do just that!

Are you a mom navigating life with ADHD - diagnosed or undiagnosed? In this honest conversation, therapist and late-diagnosed mom Samantha Skvaril joins Emily to explore the emotional rollercoaster of ADHD in motherhood. From unpacking the shame we carry, to redefining what it means to be a “good mom,” we dig deep into how ADHD uniquely affects women and mothers.

The episode covers:

• How ADHD presents in women and the unique factors for moms
• Shame, school struggles, and late-diagnosis identity shifts
• The mental load of parenting with a neurodivergent brain
• Why many moms miss the signs of ADHD in themselves
• Tools for managing executive dysfunction and sensory overwhelm

If you've ever felt like you're failing at motherhood, especially under the crushing weight of mental load, this is a must-listen.
