Leaving the church, I resisted the idea of being a stay-at-home mom, determined to defy traditional norms. Balancing work and motherhood, I clung to the belief that my purpose surpassed societal expectations.
As I missed moments with my firstborn, a fear crept in - was embracing stay-at-home motherhood surrendering my post-Mormon identity? The sacrifice felt like a setback, but I persisted, equating resistance to traditional norms with newfound freedom.
The birth of my second son brought a revelation - I had swung the pendulum too far, rejecting everything dictated by Mormonism. Motherhood became a battleground for identity as I realized I'd sacrificed the mom I aspired to be in my rush to distance from the church.
My journey isn't universal, but a personal exploration of authenticity beyond religious norms.
