    You Can Be a Good Mother Without Losing Yourself | Motherhood & Womanhood

    Episode 6: You Can Be a Good Mother Without Losing Yourself Before you became somebody’s mama, you were already somebody. 💗 You were a woman with dreams, gifts, desires, and a purpose that existed long before motherhood. In this episode of I’m Not the Girl I Used to Be Podcast, I’m opening up about what it means to be a devoted mother without completely losing yourself in the process. As a mom of six boys who became a mother young, I know what it’s like to spend so much time being needed by everyone else that you sometimes forget to nurture the woman inside of you. We’re talking about the sacrifices of motherhood, the guilt that can come with choosing yourself, the difference between being needed and being fulfilled, and why your dreams don’t have to die just because you became a mother. Because motherhood is part of who you are, but it doesn’t have to be the entirety of who you are. And you deserve to experience your life, too. In this episode, we discuss: Becoming a mother young while still discovering yourselfThe difference between motherhood and personal identitySacrifice versus self-abandonmentBeing needed versus being fulfilledMom guilt and choosing yourselfPursuing your God-given purposeCreating a fulfilling life while raising children If you’ve ever wondered who you are outside of being someone’s mother, this conversation is for you.

    I Had to Build Discipline for the Life I Prayed For | Motherhood, Routines & Becoming Her

    In this solo episode of I’m Not the Girl I Used to Be Podcast, MaHogany talks about the discipline, routines, and structure that are helping her become the woman she prayed to be. After talking about the cost of becoming her in Episode 4, this episode focuses on what it looks like to actually pay that cost in everyday life. MaHogany shares how fitness, motherhood routines, quiet time, bedtime structure, rest, preparation, phone discipline, and learning how to reset have all helped her build a life that supports who she is becoming. This episode is a reminder that discipline is not about perfection or punishment. It is about creating something to come back to, even when life gets busy, motherhood feels heavy, or motivation is not there. MaHogany also talks about building routines for the life you actually have while still becoming the woman God is calling you to be. This episode is for the woman who wants to grow, heal, become more disciplined, and start showing up for herself in small, consistent ways. Discipline is not punishment. Discipline is how you support the woman you prayed to become.

    The Cost of Becoming the Woman You Prayed For | Healing, Discipline & Letting Go of Excuses

    In this solo episode of I’m Not the Girl I Used to Be Podcast, MaHogany talks about the cost of becoming the woman you prayed to be. Healing sounds beautiful, but it is not always comfortable. Growth sounds inspiring, but it requires discipline. Becoming “her” may require you to let go of excuses, old habits, comfort zones, certain relationships, and the version of yourself that was okay with staying the same. MaHogany opens up about the truth that becoming her is not free — but neither is staying the same. There is a cost to being uncomfortable while you grow, but there is also a cost to staying stagnant, unhappy, unhealthy, stuck, or disconnected from the life you know you are called to live. This episode is a reminder that even if the process feels hard, you can do it. With God, a plan, discipline, and the willingness to keep going, you can become the woman you prayed to be.

    I Became Amazing at Every Role Except Being Me | Redefining Myself After Motherhood, Marriage & Survival

    In this solo episode of I’m Not the Girl I Used to Be Podcast, MaHogany opens up about realizing that healing did not mean getting back to the old version of herself — it meant redefining who she was completely. After spending her early adult years becoming a mother, building a family, being a wife, creating content, carrying responsibilities, and showing up in so many roles, MaHogany realized she had become amazing at being everything except herself. This episode is an honest conversation about losing yourself in the roles you carry, finding your voice again, rebuilding financially, creating routines that support the woman behind the responsibilities, and asking the deeper question: Who am I now? MaHogany also shares her Dear Younger Me moment about authenticity, fitting in, and how being your real self attracts the people who are truly meant for you. This episode is for the woman who is not trying to go back to who she was, but is learning how to meet the woman she is becoming.
