What Happens When You Lose (and Find) Yourself in Motherhood: Beyond “Enjoying It While It Lasts”
In this episode of the Pop That Mumma Podcast, I’m joined by Dr Tuesday Watts-Overall to explore what it truly means to be a mother in today’s digital world. We go beyond the highlight reels and talk honestly about the messy, beautiful, and often complicated side of motherhood that doesn’t always make it onto social media.Dr Tuesday opens up about her personal journey and the shifts in identity that every mum faces. Together, we discuss how comparison and perfectionism can impact your mental wellbeing and why the real work lies in trusting yourself and embracing your own path.This episode is about going beyond “enjoying it while it lasts” and recognising that motherhood isn’t just something to survive or smile through, it's a space to grow, rediscover yourself, and build deeper self-trust along the way.If you’ve ever felt lost in the noise of motherhood, this one’s for you.You can find out more about Dr Tuesday and her work and offerings here.A special thanks to our sponsor, Bugaboo.
