889. What every ambitious woman needs to hear about motherhood + purpose

Motherhood didn't just change me—it transformed the way I see myself, my purpose, and the life I want to create. In this solo episode, Lindsey explores self-awareness through the lens of motherhood, identity shifts, and emotional healing, sharing what happens when we release old versions of ourselves and learn to embrace who we’re becoming. If you've ever wondered whether it's okay to miss your old life while deeply loving your current one, this conversation is for you. Lindsey opens up about ambiguous grief, matrescence, and the emotional complexity of stepping into a new chapter while honoring the person you were before. As she prepares to welcome her second child, Lindsey reflects on slowing down, redefining success, and letting go of the pressure to constantly achieve. She shares what motherhood has taught her about fulfillment, trusting the timing of your life, and finding deeper purpose—even when the path looks completely different than you imagined. We also talk about: Why becoming a mother completely reorganized Lindsey’s identity The surprising grief of missing your old life while loving your new one The concept of matrescence + the psychological transformation of motherhood Why fulfillment feels different from achievement + external validation Letting go of productivity, perfectionism, and the need to optimize everything Choosing family over hustle culture + redefining success How motherhood stripped away performative tendencies The pressure of watching everyone else achieve while you're in a slower season Trusting the timing of your life + embracing the creative unknown Why every season of motherhood asks you to become someone new Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors: Ritual | Don't settle for less than evidence-based support.
