The Changes in Motherhood That No One Prepares You For

Behind The Fold

As I prepare to welcome my second child, I find myself anticipating all the major shifts ahead. On today’s episode of Behind the Fold, I’m reflecting on what it means to embrace change, to balance personal ambition with family life, and to let go of expectations. This is a candid conversation about identity shifts, the emotional complexity of motherhood, and the power of surrendering to the flow of life. I hope these reflections remind you that uncertainty is not a setback, it’s an invitation to grow.

Keep listening to hear my thoughts on:

• 1:40 - Navigating the emotional complexity of a second pregnancy and how I’m processing all the changes to come.
• 5:28 - The idea that, with every new child comes a new version of you and the importance of surrendering to the flow of change as our identities transform.
• 8:16 - Balancing motherhood and ambition and why wanting more for yourself doesn’t make you less of a mother.
• 9:52 - Learning to embrace the unique pace of your journey, let go of comparisons, and cherish even the messiest of moments.
• 14:14 - Changing the stories we tell ourselves about our lives and how I’m learning to embrace this season of my life, trusting that I will evolve through it.

Moms, how do you navigate these constant changes? DM me your thoughts and share this episode with someone who needs it! To all the mothers navigating change, remember this: you are capable, you are growing, and this is the beginning of a beautiful new chapter in your life.
