More Than a Mom: Reclaiming the Dreams You Put on Hold

Calling all moms—this is your permission slip to reignite your purpose and passions.

“Amid morning chaos and bedtime story marathons, you set your own vision aside—your deepest desires, ambitious goals, passion projects and side-hustle plans all put on hold. That craving you once felt—rooted in purpose and a hunger to make an impact—has come roaring back, stronger than ever. Your dreams are still alive, and now is the moment to bring them to life.”

Moms: Natural Nurturers & Jack-of-All-Trades

By nature, mothers are expert space-holders. We soothe scraped knees, calm emotional storms, and pivot on a dime to keep our homes—and our sanity—intact. But when we never refill our own well, we teach our children that our needs don’t matter. Your kids deserve to see all of you—your strength, your vulnerability, and your boldest dreams—not just the half that’s left after you give, give, give.

1. The Pause Isn’t Permanent

Motherhood demands full attention—and rightly so—but pressing pause on your dreams doesn’t vanish them forever.

• Name what you shelved. List every dream you tucked away: that book you started, the certification you postponed, the creative venture on hold.

• Own the grief. Permission to feel the sting: tears, frustration, nostalgia—they’re proof those dreams still matter.

2. Identifying Your Rediscovered Self

Kids grow fast—from kindergarten graduations to middle-school milestones. It’s easy to lose sight of who you were. To reclaim her:

• Clarify your values. Pick the three pillars that light you up—creativity, freedom, connection—and write them down.

• Find the overlap. If “connection” leads, carve out one heartfelt conversation a week beyond the mom-chat. If “creativity” calls, doodle for ten minutes after tucking them in.

3. Small Steps, Big Shifts

You don’t need a sabbatical to revive your dreams—just micro-actions in your everyday life:

• Block ten-minute rituals. Literally schedule “Mom’s 10-Minute Passion Slot” on your calendar.

• Lean on your tribe. Partner with a fellow mom or friend who checks in: “Did you claim your ten minutes today?”

4. Navigating Guilt and Boundaries

That mother-guilt whisper: “Investing in me steals from them.” Flip the script:

• Model self-worth. When you honor your own needs, you show your kids how to set healthy boundaries.

• Declare your rhythms. Announce, “My power-hour is 8–9 pm,” then protect it fiercely—no apologies.

5. Trusting the Return of Your Dreams

What’s meant for you will always circle back—even if it looks different. Maybe your passion project resurfaces as weekend workshops, or that side-hustle idea evolves into an online course you launch at nap time. Dreams don’t die in storage; they transform and return when the timing is right.

6. When Dreams Expand Beyond Pause

As you reconnect with your purpose, watch doors swing open. That blog you jot down? It could spark a coaching practice guiding other women—just like you—through the same journey. Your reawakened dreams become magnets, drawing your next chapter straight to you.

Conclusion & Next Steps

You are more than your mom-duties. By naming your paused dreams, weaving in ten-minute rituals, and trusting that what’s meant for you will always return, you set a powerful example: your life matters, your dreams matter.
