Episode 141: WHO AM I NOW SERIES ✨ I don't know who I am anymore: understanding identity shift after a big life change
<p>Did you know that 91% of women feel like they've lost themselves in motherhood? If you're one of them, this episode is the explanation you've been waiting for.</p><p>In this first episode of the Who Am I Now? series, I introduce the concept of <strong>Matrescence</strong> — the psychological, neurological and identity transformation every woman goes through when she becomes a Mother. Just like adolescence has a name, a framework and societal understanding, so does this. We just don't talk about it enough.</p><p>This episode covers:</p><ul><li>What Matrescence actually is and why society hasn't caught up with it yet</li><li>Why losing yourself in motherhood isn't a failure </li><li>The truth about 'bouncing back' and why that language is keeping you stuck</li><li>Why your identity didn't disappear (and how to start getting it back)</li><li>What finding yourself again actually looks like day-to-day (hint: it's easier than you think)</li></ul><p> </p><p><strong>Tools in this episode:</strong></p><ul><li>The Feelings Wheel — how to name what you're feeling so you can start moving toward what you want</li><li>The Before & Now Identity Map — a simple journalling exercise to see what's shifted and what's still yours</li><li>The Morning Check-In — three questions to ask yourself daily that take less than two minutes</li></ul><p><br></p><p>If you've been feeling lost, overwhelmed or like you can't find your way back to yourself — you are not broken. You are in the middle of one of the biggest life transitions a human being can go through. This series is your map.</p><p>Tag me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ami_rankin/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a> if you try the tools — I would love to hear from you! And please share with someone you know could benefit from this episode too.</p>

😡 It's not about the housework 🤯 Why You Keep Fighting About the Same Things (And How to Actually Stop)
<p>You walk in the door. The bins weren't taken out, the kitchen's still a mess - within minutes you're in the same argument you've had a hundred times before. Going around in circles, both of you feeling attacked, nobody actually saying what they mean.</p><p>Sound familiar? This episode is going to change how you communicate in your relationship.</p><p>If you've ever wondered why you and your partner keep fighting about the same things, why you feel unheard no matter how many times you bring something up or why conversations about something small somehow always turn into something big, this is for you.</p><p>The truth is, it was never about the bins or the messy kitchen.</p><p>In this episode I'm walking you through how to move beyond 'story level' - the he said-she said, you did this-you didn't do that, and get to the feeling underneath. </p><p>Because that's where the real conversation lives. That's where things actually change.</p><p><strong>What we cover:</strong></p><p>- Why we get stuck in the criticism-defensiveness cycle (and how to break it)</p><p>- What "story level" is — and why it keeps you going in circles</p><p>- Why naming the feeling underneath feels so uncomfortable (and why your brain avoids it)</p><p>- The Feelings Wheel — your most important tool for understanding what you're actually feeling</p><p>- Why anger is always an umbrella feeling — and what's hiding underneath it</p><p>- Three questions to ask yourself before the conversation to get clear on what you actually need</p><p>- How to communicate your feelings without it turning into an attack</p><p>- Why your partner isn't a mind reader — and what to do about it</p><p>- How having these conversations less, means connecting more</p><p>This episode follows on from our episode on teaching children emotional intelligence - because you can't teach your kids something you haven't learned yourself. And so many of us were never taught this.</p><p>We were told to stay strong, push through, don't make a fuss. So if having these conversations feels big and scary that's not a flaw in you, that's just what you were taught. And it's time to unlearn it.</p><p>🎙️ If this resonated, share it with a friend or a partner who needs it - that's how this podcast reaches new people and I appreciate you more than you know.</p><p>Follow Finding Her Sparkle so you don't miss next week... a very exciting new series is starting and you're going to want to be there from the beginning!</p><p>If you're feeling like the mental load, overwhelm or disconnection in your relationships has become too much to carry on your own, my inbox is always open. </p><p>Come find me on Instagram -<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ami_rankin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> @ami_rankin</a></p>

Ep 139: Burnout, Mental Load & Perimenopause: When You're the 'Stable One' for Everyone Else
<p>Are you the one everyone leans on right now? The stable one. The strong one. The one holding it all together, but quietly running on empty?</p><p>In this episode, Ami answers 2 real listener questions that so many of you will recognise immediately:</p><p><strong>- I'm feeling overwhelmed because I feel like I'm the only stable one right now — everyone else around me is up and down.</strong></p><p><strong>- I'm feeling overwhelmed by the mental and emotional workload of three children, while also working and in early perimenopause.</strong></p><p>If either of those made you exhale — this one's for you.</p><p>Ami breaks down why being the emotional anchor for the people around you leads directly to burnout and functional freeze, what happens to your nervous system when the mental load, emotional load and invisible labour never stop and why perimenopause and hormonal changes mean your window of tolerance is already reduced before the day has even begun - and why that is not a character flaw.</p><p>You'll also get real, practical tools you can use today: the one question to ask yourself when you're carrying too much, the 100/75/50% framework for lowering your baseline expectations without dropping the ball and simple ways to reduce decision fatigue and schedule downtime that actually recharges you.</p><p>This is compassionate and practical. A reminder that you cannot pour from an empty cup.</p><p>If this resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it. And if you have a question you'd love answered on the podcast, send Ami a DM or look out for the question box on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ami_rankin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@ami_rankin</a></p>
