When You Feel Lost in Motherhood: Reclaiming Your Identity

It's easy for moms to feel like their entire identity is wrapped up in their roles. Wife. Mom. Employee. Volunteer. Caregiver. But who are you beyond those roles?

While our roles are meaningful and important, they aren't the full picture of who we are.
