Reclaiming Your Identity After Motherhood with Amanda Haro of F*ck It Mothering
Today Amanda Haro shares her journey of self-discovery and reclaiming her identity as a whole person who is also a mom of 4 girls. She talks about the moment she realized she didn't know anything about herself and how it led her to question her roles. She emphasizes the importance of starting small and making choices that align with your true self. Amanda also discusses the societal pressure to follow a prescribed path and the need, for some, to challenge those beliefs. She shares her perspective on divorce and how, for her, it was an act of self-love. Amanda encourages moms to find their own unique way of parenting and not compare themselves to others.
