75. Embrace your Expanded Identity with Casey James

Danielle Bettmann | Wholeheartedly

There was so much about motherhood that they did not warn us about in that book What to Expect When You're Expecting. Many of us believed the myth or the expectation that a new baby or kids will fall into our life.
On today's episode, I'm interviewing Casey James, who shares her journey with postpartum depletion, her path of discovering her new identity through matrescence and redefining self-care.

Casey James is the founder of Thrive, a community driven resource for modern women and motherhood.  Her experience reconciling her career-driven identity with the growth and healing motherhood provided challenged her to embrace her expanded identity.

At the end of the episode we both discuss whether you have to find, discover or create our new identities, what that takes and how to do it.

We covered...

  • the need to redefine self-care
  • having permission to take time for yourself
  • releasing the guilt of not having the energy to give her son what he needed
  • the power of knowing what to Google
  • how to embrace your new identity as a mom
