Is it possible to maintain your identity while growing into the role of a parent? And is it even okay to want a life outside of your parenting responsibilities?

In this episode, Mama Martha opens up about how she and her daughter have both wrestled with these questions, and the practical steps they took to restore a sense of balance in their lives.

We explore how parents and children can each grow into their own personhood — and how a parent’s pursuit of fulfillment can actually model healthy self-care and emotional maturity for their kids. It's a conversation about boundaries, balance, and the beauty of becoming.
