Sense of self

Kinda.. I'm trying to 'rediscover' myself - if that makes sense. I'm going to the gym to lose baby weight, taking skincare more seriously.. I want a more 'mature' but sexy look where clothes is concerned & I want friendships with more substance 😊

Yes! 100%

Absolutely!. I'm actively trying to get to know this new but also old me. I had vibrant purple hair for years pre baby. Went back to natural during pregnancy but made the leap to get the purple back last month since it's so tied in to my sense of self. Purged my closet and am slowly rebuilding my wardrobe with clothes that feel like this new version of me. Also taking a night off to take myself out on a date, alone. Not having to wipe bums or get everybody fed and sit in peaceful quiet doing something by myself (shows, paint night, any and all activity that seems interesting to me) has done wonders for my mental health and identity. I can be mom and also me 💗 I'm not a 100% there but slow and steady wins the race.

I feel like this. I’m trying to carve out sometime for myself to start some hobbies and have a life outside of being a mum.

Me 101%! I’ve completely lost who I am don’t like things I used to like anymore ect. Am 35 weeks pregnant too xx

I've absolutely been through this, slowly trying to discover the new me now at 10 months pp x

I have never know who I am. My Mom would buy my clothes and cut my hair how she wanted even into highschool. My first husband was the same sadly. When I got a divorce and turned 30 I tried to figure it out but wasn't there yet. Now that I have my daughter it all clicked. How can I teach her to be independent and true to her self when I have no idea what that means. So I am now in therapy...mostly to heal from the trauma of my Mom and Ex husband but also to learn to love myself and to be my true self. I started with my hair as this seemed the easiest place and I cut and dyed it how I've always wanted to. Then I started morning walks alone. This helps my mental health and gives me time to think about who I want to be and what would work best for where I am now. I have also made sure to carve out some me time. I can do anything I generally enjoy during this time alone and guilt free. Right now I am working on my sense of style. 👇👇👇

I love corsets and steampunk outfits but as a Mom and in general I would never wear that stuff. Doesn't mean I can't like it but it's not functional. Right now I value comfort and function but still want to look put together.
