The "Old You" is Gone, Here's How to Embrace Who You're Becoming

No one talks about this part of motherhood: the moment your old life disappears, and you don’t recognise the new one yet.

In this honest and deeply validating conversation, Zoe sits down with model and entrepreneur Jada Sezer to talk about the reality of motherhood, the identity shift, the overwhelm, and the pressure to “get back to normal.”

After having twins, Jada’s life changed overnight. What followed was a journey many mothers will recognise - trying to hold on to who you were, before realising you’re becoming someone new.

Why “having it all” is a lie we’re sold

How to navigate identity loss in early motherhood

The truth about the mental load and how to start sharing it

Why motherhood makes you a stronger leader

Letting go of “bouncing back” in your career, body and life

This is a conversation about rebuilding, not your old life, but one that fits who you are now. Because you are not behind.You are not broken.You are becoming.
