Motherhood can often feel like it defines us entirely—especially when navigating the complexities of raising a child with special needs.

In part 1 of this raw and honest episode, Hillary shares her journey of grappling with her identity beyond being “Mom” and finding a sense of self outside her primary caregiving role. Together, we explore the challenges of identity crises in motherhood, the emotional weight of balancing love and hardship, and the importance of rediscovering joy as a person first and a parent second.

Keep up with Hillary & Esme 🤍
