MORE THAN MUM: RECLAIMING YOUR IDENTITY

In this heartfelt episode of The Marvellous-U Podcast, we discuss something that many women and carers experience but rarely express — losing sight of who you are while caring for everyone else.

 I share a personal moment from my own journey — when I was juggling caregiving and motherhood — and realised I had become so focused on doing that I had forgotten simply being myself.

 We’ll explore how life transitions, such as motherhood and caregiving, can blur our sense of identity, drawing on Erik Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development, which remind us that identity is not fixed — it evolves as we progress through different life stages. ✨ 

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 • Why it’s normal to question who you are after major life changes
 • Common struggles like guilt, invisibility, and self-comparison
 • 5 powerful ways to reconnect with your true self — from journaling and rekindling passions, to reframing your story and celebrating rediscovery. 

I’ll also share how reconnecting with my purpose through writing, studying, and entrepreneurship helped me rebuild my identity and rediscover myself.

 Because when you find purpose, you find yourself. 🌸 💌 

This week, I invite you to write a letter to your future self — a reminder that your roles may shape you, but they don’t define your worth. You are marvellously becoming — and that’s enough. 💖
