Worthy Mother Podcast

How To Overcome The Identity Crisis of Motherhood with Krissy Bold

Emily Rose Hardy Episode 159

Ever felt like you’ve lost yourself since becoming a mom? You’re not alone, and you’re definitely not broken. In this episode of Worthy Mother Podcast, Emily sits down with Krissy Bold, former teacher turned stay-at-home mom and identity advocate, to unpack the real, raw experience of navigating identity after motherhood. Together, they explore the identity crisis so many moms experience, why it’s actually normal (hello, matrescence!), and how you can begin to reconnect with the woman behind the "mom" title. 

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why the identity shift in motherhood is both common and normal
  • How to recognize the signs of an identity crisis
  • What “matrescence” means — and why it matters
  • Simple ways to reconnect with joy, creativity, and your whole self
  • How connection, silliness, and micro-habits can help you rediscover who you are

Now is your moment to get in touch with your identity beyond the role of mom, and this episode will help you do just that!
