Mom's New Identity
A podcast for women and mothers who want to re-define and re-discover their identities on THEIR terms. We discuss topics relative to motherhood & parenting, mental health & healing trauma, and hint of entrepreneurship. My mission is to empower you to begin your own healing journey, and learn to let go of the harmful expectations society has placed on mothers so you can begin to start thriving instead of just surviving.
