”Now, every time I witness a strong person, I want to know: What dark did you conquer in your story? Mountains do not rise without earthquakes.” (Katherine MacKenett) We all experience hard times but those troubles can create depth of character, resilience, empathy, and so much more--if we let them work within us for that purpose. Join me and a variety of guests every Thursday as we talk about our identity within motherhood through the lens of adversity.

Exploring Identity Through an Acrostic Poem
In this episode, Jen Banks announces she is writing a book titled 'Let Yourself Bloom' set to release in September and hints at an upcoming rebrand. The episode's primary focus is on identity, particularly for mothers trying to maintain their own identity through motherhood. Using the acrostic poem format with the word 'IDENTITY,' each letter is used to highlight an aspect of personal identity such as being Individual, Dynamic, incorporating Everything about you, the concept of Neutrality in self-worth, your Talents, viewing yourself through an Inherent Lens, understanding your Tastes and preferences, and how all of these elements make up You. Jen encourages listeners to reflect on their identities, understand their values, and consider writing their own acrostic poem using their name to explore what makes them unique. The episode wraps up with a thank you to the executive producer and a reminder to check out other podcasts in the network.
