54. Who I Was, Who I Am: Rediscovering Yourself and Rethinking Work

This episode opens with Angela Tait’s candid reflection on losing herself in motherhood and the small acts of self-care and honest connection that helped her rebuild. She shares how these experiences inspired the Mom-me Podcast, a space for working moms navigating the messy middle between career and parenthood, and underscores the need for real workplace support, flexibility, and empathy. Her message centers on reminding moms they’re not alone and that open conversations can create lasting change for the next generation.

“It wasn’t a big life overhaul—it was the little things that helped me find myself again.”

What this episode offers for moms:

• The silent struggle of “losing yourself” in motherhood is more common than most admit—and you’re not alone.
• Hormones, exhaustion, and the pressure to “do it all” can make even the most capable moms question who they are.
• Small acts of self-care and reconnecting with old passions can be a lifeline back to yourself.
• Honest conversations with other moms can dissolve isolation and validate what you’re feeling.
• Many women aren’t leaving careers because they lack ambition—they’re leaving because workplaces don’t support real-life motherhood.
• Flexible, empathetic, and inclusive environments aren’t perks; they’re essential for keeping talented moms in the workforce.
• Reclaiming your identity doesn’t mean choosing between motherhood and your career—you can honor both.
• When moms share their stories, they shift cultures, reshape leadership, and change what’s possible for the next generation.
