Do you feel like you woke up one day and realized you had no idea who you were outside of a mom and a wife? Too many stay-at-home moms (SAHM) find themselves in this position. That why, in addition to the series How to Rediscover Yourself After Marriage and Motherhood, I’m also hosting a Rediscovery Mom 31 Day Instagram Challenge.

I know how scary, stressful, and bewildering it can be to lose sight of who you are. I understand how hard it is when you fee l like you’re having more bad days than good. When you lose sight of yourself, all facets of your life suffer.
You’re more impatient and angry with your kids. You don’t feel like being intimate with your husband. Hanging out with friends becomes a constant complaint session. Self care pretty much goes out the window.
That is a terrifying reality for too many SAHM. If any of these scenarios sound familiar, then this series is for you.
Purpose of the Instagram Challenge
We live in a truly amazing time. The internet makes it easy for SAHM to connect and find community. You no longer have to fall prey to the loneliness and isolation that can come with staying home with your kids.
The purpose of this Instagram challenge is to give you a way to connect with other SAHM going through the same thing you are. You can find your cheerleaders to bolster your efforts. Connect with moms who share your hobbies. Be inspired by the things others are brave enough to try.
