Motherhood isn’t just about raising kids—it’s about rediscovering who you are. In this episode, I sit down with Hayley Dunlop, a former PR professional who thought she had life all figured out—until motherhood flipped her world upside down (and the pandemic forced her to slow down).

Hayley shares how becoming a mom didn’t put her identity on pause, but instead, sparked a whole new level of creativity.

We’re talking about how motherhood can push you to reconnect with the real you—both in and outside of parenting. Hayley’s story is raw and relatable. She’s not talking about having it all figured out, but about finding moments for yourself in the midst of the chaos.

If you’ve been feeling like motherhood has taken over who you are, this episode is your reminder: motherhood doesn’t erase you—it can help you see yourself more clearly.

Get ready for a conversation about creativity, authenticity, and embracing the messy journey of parenting. This one’s for the moms who are figuring it out as they go.
