Losing Yourself in Motherhood? Let’s Talk About It with Ashley Beatty
Identity. Motherhood. Who You Become. In this conversation, Lisa sits down with motherhood + self-development coach Ashley Beatty to unravel how becoming a parent reshapes every corner of your identity.
They dig into the messy, beautiful, contradictory parts of motherhood, the parts most women experience but not enough talk about out loud.
If you’re navigating midlife, motherhood, or rediscovering who you are, this episode brings clarity, compassion, and a few well-placed truth bombs.
What You’ll Hear
How motherhood completely rewires identity — and why that’s not a bad thing
The real meaning of matrescence (and why more women need this word)
The emotional duality of parenting: joy and frustration can coexist
Why “perfect motherhood” is a trap built by societal expectations
How self-awareness becomes your superpower as a parent
Why open, honest conversations normalize the hard parts
The ongoing journey of personal growth (yes, even after the kids aren’t little)
When your child’s needs don’t match your expectations — and what to do with that
How reflecting on your own story strengthens how you show up as a parent
