Parenting Pointers - 5 steps to becoming YOU and Re-finding your identity after giving birth

By: Coco Pixie Moon

Re-finding my identity after having kids has been a transformative journey, marked by five crucial steps that I've embraced along the way. The process was not something I processed until after my kids grew, so for those raising children currently I want to share these insights on reclaiming your sense of self.

The steps to re-finding your identity after having children can be narrowed down to: accepting your current reality, embracing the journey of self discovery, releasing the labels and expectations, fearlessly pursuing your desires and celebrating your rebirth. This journey has allowed me to rediscover myself while navigating the uncharted waters of motherhood.

1) Accept Your Current Reality
Celebrate where you find yourself at this very moment, whether or not motherhood was your lifelong dream. Honesty is your greatest ally on this path. Grant yourself permission to engage in introspection, observing your feelings without the weight of judgment.

My journey to re-find my identity after becoming a mother was marked by the adventurous birth of my first child, the peaceful second birth, and the profoundly graceful arrival of my fourth, the last one.

2) Embrace the Journey of Self-Discovery
Wholeheartedly welcome the transformative journey of motherhood merging with womanhood. This is a beautiful process that leads you to become the most authentic and complete version of yourself.

As everyone says, the third time truly was the charm – it became my favorite. My older boys were just turning 3 and 1 when I became pregnant with my third child. Picture a scenario where I was constantly chasing after the two little boys, all while continuing to breastfeed. Astonishingly, I experienced no morning sickness. My energy levels soared, and I radiated a more profound inner and outer beauty than ever before. It was an amazing phase. My boys and I relished our visits to the midwife, who lived a couple of hours away in the serene countryside. I still reminisce about the delightful train rides we embarked on.

3) Release the Labels and Expectations
Now that you've accepted and welcomed every facet of your identity, it's time to shed the labels imposed by yourself and others. Picture yourself as a pristine canvas, a sacred vessel waiting to be filled and expanded, liberated from the confines of societal expectations.

As the seasons transitioned from summer to fall, my boys and I reveled in the joys of the changing environment. I can vividly recall capturing dragonflies with them. One Saturday morning, before the break of dawn, I awoke with a profound sense of happiness and tranquility enveloping me. Contractions were intensifying, yet I savored a leisurely bath, marveled at the morning dew in the garden, and enjoyed breakfast with my boys. The eldest was bubbling with excitement, darting around, and the second one nestled on my lap as we embraced each other with deep affection. I can close my eyes even now and feel that sublime sense of wholeness.

4) Fearlessly Pursue Your Desires
Be unapologetically truthful with yourself. Be daring. Stake your claim on your desires. Never feel the need to apologize or experience shame for the things that ignite your passion, whatever they may be.

It was, without a doubt, the most magical birth experience I could have wished for. I found myself reluctant for it to conclude. I was bathed in serene light, deeply peaceful, feeling my baby turn within me, poised to enter the world. Every moment of it was cherished. Both my sons stood beside me throughout, their faces radiant with excitement, peppering me with questions, while our beloved midwife provided comforting answers. And then, there he was, a tiny bundle weighing only 5 pounds. Our home was permeated with his precious scent, and everyone's eyes shimmered with joy, happiness, and love.

5) Celebrate Your Own Rebirth
Just as you celebrate each milestone and achievement of your child, celebrate your own rebirth with boundless love and profound wonder. Motherhood is a transformative journey, and the woman you become is a testament to your strength and resilience. You are not just making babies; you are making a stronger, more capable, and authentic version of yourself.

So, you see, this isn't just my son's birth story; it is MY birth story. Because on that day, a very special woman was born.

And now, I am here to guide you and illuminate the path for you, showing you how to embark on this beautiful journey of transitioning from womanhood to motherhood.
