“I Don’t Even Know Who I Am Anymore” | Losing Yourself as a Mom & Finding Your Way Back

This week on the FTK Moms Podcast, Alicia and Winter get real about something so many moms feel but don’t always say out loud — losing yourself in motherhood. Somewhere between the diapers, schedules, responsibilities, and showing up for everyone else… you look up and wonder:👉 Who am I outside of being a mom?

“I Yelled Again… Why Moms Snap & No One Talks About It”

Ever find yourself snapping over something small… and then immediately feeling guilty?Yeah… same. In this episode of FTK Moms, Alicia and Winter are getting real about mom rage — those moments where the overwhelm, noise, constant demands, and mental load all boil over. Because let’s be honest… It’s not just about the spilled juice or the 10th time you’ve been asked the same question. It’s deeper than that. We’re talking about: ✨ What mom rage actually is (and why it’s more common than you think) ✨ The real triggers — overstimulation, mental load, and being “on” 24/7 ✨ The guilt that hits right after you lose it ✨ How to repair, reset, and move forward without shame This episode is raw, honest, and probably a little too relatable. If you’ve ever thought… 👉 “Why am I so triggered?” 👉 “I don’t want to react like this” 👉 “Am I the only one feeling this way?” You are NOT alone. We see you. We are you. And we’re talking about it.💬 Join the conversation LIVE and share your experience with us 📲 Tag a mom who needs to hear this 🎧 New episodes every week
