Episode 6: Rediscovering Yourself After Motherhood with Aubree Felderhoff
Motherhood is full of joy, chaos, and a million tiny moments that can either fill your cup or leave you wondering who you used to be. This week on Small Things Big Life, I had the honor of sitting down with Aubree Felderhoff, spark coach for moms, podcast host, and all-around inspiration.
Aubree’s Story: Resilience and Rediscovery
Aubree’s journey isn’t your average comeback story. Years ago, she faced a life-altering illness that left her bedridden, wondering if she’d ever get her old self back. Through sheer grit, vulnerability, and a whole lot of self-reflection, she not only regained her health but also found a new mission, empowering other moms to rediscover themselves, too.
During our conversation, Aubree opened up about the realities that so many of us face but rarely talk about: the weight of mom guilt, the struggle to ask for help, and the impossible pressures to be “perfect” while running a family and a business. Her honesty is refreshing and her perspective will resonate with anyone who’s ever lost themselves in the busy-ness of daily life.
Why Moms Need Space to Be Real
One of my favorite moments from our chat was when Aubree described motherhood as “peeling back the layers of an onion.” Every time we think we’ve got it figured out, life throws a curveball. And yet, it’s through these layers, these messy, emotional moments that we find our truest selves.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for needing a break, overwhelmed by your to-do list, or unsure how to prioritize yourself without letting others down, this episode is for you.
Tools, Tips, and Permission to Breathe
Aubree shares not just her story, but practical tips for moms who want to:
Let go of perfectionism
Create space for self-care (even in tiny, realistic ways)
Reclaim their identity beyond the “mom” label
Teach their children the value of self-love and resilience
