Can you become a mom and still want more for yourself?

In this episode of No Permission Necessary, Jill and Molly talk about what happens to your identity, ambition, career, and confidence when motherhood enters the picture.

Because becoming a mom can change everything.
But it does not have to erase who you are.

This conversation explores:

• Why motherhood can bring fear, grief, and uncertainty
• How maternity leave can shift your relationship with work
• Why becoming a mom can make you more ambitious, not less
• The career interruptions and biases women still face
• How motherhood changes priorities, energy, and boundaries
• Why success may look different after kids

Whether you are a mom, thinking about becoming a mom, returning from maternity leave, trying to have children, or choosing a different path entirely, this conversation is about redefining success on your own terms.

👉 What changed most about your identity after becoming a parent, or watching someone close to you become one?
