Motherhood Skills for Overwhelmed Moms is a podcast for first-time moms, overstimulated moms, anxious moms, and high-achieving women who love their children deeply… but secretly wonder why motherhood suddenly feels so emotionally hard.
Hosted by a licensed therapist and fellow mom of two littles, Taylor Coleman, this show is your honest, practical guide to surviving the mental load, emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, overstimulation, and relationship struggles that can happen after having a baby.
Because here’s the truth no one talks about enough:
Almost everything in motherhood is a skill.
Emotional regulation is a skill.
Communicating with your partner is a skill.
Managing overstimulation is a skill.
Repairing after mom rage is a skill.
Creating calmer routines is a skill.
Navigating postpartum identity changes is a skill.
Learning how to care for yourself while caring for everyone else is a skill.
And skills can be learned.
Each week, you’ll get therapist-informed tools, nervous system support, relatable stories, and practical strategies to help you feel calmer, more confident, more emotionally grounded, and less alone in early motherhood.

24 | What No One Tells You About Identity Changes in Motherhood (5 Ways to Navigate It)
What no one tells you about becoming a mom… is how much you will change.
If you’ve ever felt like you don’t recognize yourself after having a baby — your thoughts, your emotions, your priorities — you are not alone.
In this episode of Lost & Found Mom, we talk about the silent internal changes that happen in motherhood and why so many women feel lost, disconnected, or different after becoming a mom.
This isn’t just about lifestyle changes.
This is about identity.
We explore:
• Why motherhood creates such a deep internal shift
• Why you may not feel like yourself after baby
• The emotional and mental changes that no one prepares you for
• Why this experience is more common than you think
And most importantly, I share 5 simple, grounding ways to navigate this identity shift so you can move through this season with more clarity, self-compassion, and understanding.
If you’ve been searching for why you feel different after becoming a mom, how to deal with identity loss in motherhood, or how to find yourself again after baby — this episode will meet you right where you are.
You didn’t lose yourself.
You’re becoming someone new.

23 | Why Setting Boundaries as a Mom Feels So Hard (And Why It’s Necessary)
Why does setting boundaries feel so hard after becoming a mom?
If you’ve ever felt guilty saying no, overwhelmed by constant demands, or stretched too thin trying to be everything for everyone — this episode is for you.
In this episode of Lost & Found Mom, we talk about how motherhood forces you to set boundaries in a way you may have never experienced before — and why it can feel so uncomfortable, especially at first.
Motherhood changes your time, your energy, and your capacity. What once felt manageable can suddenly feel overwhelming, and learning to say no becomes essential — not selfish.
As a licensed counselor and mom of two, I share my personal experience of how motherhood shifted my perspective on boundaries, especially after having my second child. What once felt like endless time quickly became a realization that my energy is limited — and needs to be protected.
In this episode, we explore:
• Why setting boundaries as a mom can feel so difficult
• The connection between boundaries, mental load, and overwhelm
• Why saying no often triggers guilt — even when it’s necessary
• How motherhood reshapes your priorities and capacity
• Why protecting your energy supports both you and your children
You’ll also learn practical, real-life ways to begin setting healthy, respectful boundaries — without over-explaining, overcommitting, or burning yourself out.
If you’ve been searching for how to set boundaries as a mom, how to say no without guilt, or how to stop feeling overwhelmed by everyone’s needs, this episode will give you the clarity and permission you’ve been needing.
Because boundaries aren’t about pushing people away.
They’re about protecting your ability to show up fully — for yourself, your children, and your life.

22 | Postpartum Identity Crisis: Why You Don’t Feel Like Yourself Anymore (And How to Move Through It)
Why don’t you feel like yourself after becoming a mom?
If you’ve ever looked at your life, your routines, your thoughts — and felt like something about you has completely changed — you are not alone.
In this episode of Lost & Found Mom, we talk about the identity shift that happens after motherhood and why so many women feel lost, disconnected, or unfamiliar with themselves in this season.
I share my personal experience of not recognizing myself after becoming a mom — the ways I changed emotionally, mentally, and even in what I valued — and how that shift caught me off guard.
We also explore:
• Why motherhood creates such a deep identity change
• Why it can feel like you’ve “lost yourself” after having a baby
• How your thoughts, priorities, and emotions can shift unexpectedly
• Why this experience is more common than we talk about
And most importantly, I share how I reframed my thinking around these changes so I could move through this season with more clarity, self-compassion, and understanding.
If you’ve been searching for why you don’t feel like yourself after baby, how to deal with identity loss in motherhood, or how to navigate the emotional changes after becoming a mom — this episode will help you feel seen and grounded.
You didn’t disappear.
You changed.
And there’s a way to understand who you’re becoming.
