Motherhood changes everything — including which parts of us are in the forefront. In this episode, Bahia Miller is joined by Jessica Tomich Sorci for an honest and tender conversation about the profound identity shifts that occur when a woman becomes a mother.

Together, they explore the reconfiguration of our inner parts, the emergence of “mom parts,” and the challenging emotions that come with this season of life. They discuss the impact of new parenthood on partnership, the pressure many parents feel to be cycle-breakers, and why community support, vulnerability, and asking for help are not luxuries — but necessities.

Reflection:
As you listen, notice which parts of you feel most present in your experience of motherhood (or parenthood). What do they need right now?
