| 50. *UPDATED* Why Your Identity Matters in Early Motherhood | 24 Feb 2026 | 00:22:54 | |
Have you ever felt like you disappeared somewhere between diaper changes, feeding schedules, and trying to be everything for everyone? In this episode, I rerecorded the intro to talk about something that changed my own heart in motherhood: our identity has to be rooted in Jesus Christ, not in our roles, achievements, or how well we keep up with the laundry (which… let’s be honest… is never 😅). The world defines identity by what distinguishes us—our personality, job titles, group affiliations, or accomplishments. But our identity in Christ is different. It’s based on what He has done for us and who He says we are: made in God’s image, chosen, loved, part of a royal priesthood. And when motherhood shakes everything you thought you knew about yourself, that truth becomes an anchor. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ Why rooting your identity in Christ protects you when motherhood feels overwhelming Because when you know who you are in Christ, you don’t have to chase perfection or prove your worth—you can show up as a calm, confident, grounded mom who loves her baby from a place of security instead of pressure. If you’re in that season of wondering, “Who even am I anymore?”… this episode is for you. 💛 Resources mentioned: >> Get the FREE resource -> The New Mom Survival Guide: Preparing for Life with a Newborn at www.abridgetomotherhood.com/newmom >>To submit a question for future podcasts, click here. >>Don’t forget to follow along over on Instagram at @abridgetomotherhoodpod for more. >>Follow Danielle @mrsdaniellebruner for more everyday life and postpartum doula tips >>Visit our website: www.abridgetomotherhood.com Leave a Review After you review the show — take a screenshot and upload it here — so I can send you some happy mail with a little surprise as a thank you.

| 39. Why It’s Okay to Feel Both Love and Frustration as a Mom with Dr. Margo Lowy | 12 Aug 2025 | 00:31:04 | |
Motherhood is filled with love, joy, and beautiful moments—but it also holds frustration, guilt, and sometimes even resentment. In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Dr. Margo Lowy, author of Maternal Ambivalence: The Loving Moments & Bitter Truths of Motherhood. Together, we explore the real, complex emotions that many moms experience but rarely talk about. Dr. Lowy brings light to the concept of maternal ambivalence—the idea that it’s possible to deeply love your child and still feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or even conflicted at times. She shares why these feelings are not only normal but essential to acknowledge for a mom’s emotional well-being. If you’ve ever wondered, "Is it just me who feels this way?" — this conversation is for you. In this episode, we cover
