S3E73- Rewriting Your Story as a Woman and Mother

As moms, we often find ourselves caught in a web of stories we've woven about who we are and what we're capable of. These narratives, shaped by our past experiences and societal expectations, can hold us back from embracing our true potential. But what if we could rewrite these stories and step into the person we were meant to be?

In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Bridget Bolden, a coach who specializes in helping women navigate life transitions. Bridget shares her personal journey of rediscovering herself amid the demands of motherhood and offers invaluable insights for moms who feel lost in their roles.

Uncovering the Hidden Narratives

Bridget reveals how seemingly innocuous comments from our childhood can shape our self-perception for years to come. She explains:

"It can be well-meaning teachers who tell us you're really good at writing, or maybe you shouldn't study history... These names and these identities that we take on."

We explore how these internalized stories can impact our lives, especially during major life transitions like empty nesting, divorce, or career changes.

Practical Steps for Self-Discovery

If you're feeling disconnected from your true self, Bridget offers practical advice to reconnect:

• Pay attention to your inner dialogue: Notice how you talk to yourself and what thoughts arise when you look in the mirror.
• Explore your passions: Set aside time to reflect on what truly lights you up and moves you emotionally.
• Record your insights: Use voice memos or journaling to capture moments of clarity and inspiration.
