How can taking the time to check in with ourselves help us to maintain our identity? In this episode of the Unperfected Pod, Brooke talks about motherhood and how it can lead to a sense of loss of identity. Brooke reminds us that, although we may have lost ourselves in the roles and responsibilities of being a "good mom", we are still present and should take the time to check in with ourselves.
Brooke highlights the struggles that mothers face in society, such as judgment for taking time for themselves or living life outside of their maternal roles, as well as providing tools for self-exploration and reclaiming identity.
Tune in to this week's episode of the Unperfected Pod as Brooke encourages mothers to give themselves permission to reclaim their identities, stop judging other mothers, respect their bodies, and tap into their intuition!

Tweetable Quotes:
"As mothers, we have a real responsibility to stop judging each other because what we're doing is perpetuating these beliefs around what it means to be good enough. What we need to do is lift each other up, empower each other, make space for each other, cheer each other on when we're doing things for ourselves when we're finding ourselves again." – Brooke Jean
"Grieve the parts of you that are lost in becoming a mother. And so, try this journal prompt. What do I miss about myself and my life before becoming a mother? Nothing is too taboo here." – Brooke Jean
