Rediscovering Myself After Baby: Faith, Confidence & Style
As I step into 2025, I feel a new energy — rediscovering myself after baby, reclaiming my style, and reconnecting with the woman God created me to be. It’s been a while since I last wrote — and oh, what a journey it has been.
For those who’ve been with me for years, you know how much I’ve always loved fashion and beauty. But life has a way of taking beautiful, unexpected turns — and mine took the most wonderful one yet: I became a mommy!
The past year and a half has been full of sleepless nights, endless diaper changes, and overwhelming love. As much as I cherish every moment with my little one, somewhere along the way, I lost a bit of myself. My style took a backseat to practicality, and my confidence wavered as I learned to navigate motherhood.This season isn’t just about resolutions — it’s about intention, growth, and spiritual alignment. And I want to take you on this journey with me.
Rediscovering Myself After Baby
Motherhood changes you in profound ways. It’s a beautiful transformation, but it can also make you forget who you were before. For me, fashion has always been my language of self-expression — a reflection of confidence, creativity, and joy.
Now, I’m choosing to see style as self-care.
It’s not about “getting back” to my old self — it’s about embracing who I am now.
I’m learning that I can honor the woman I’ve become and still love the woman I was.
This year, I’m exploring new looks that blend both versions of me — the mom who loves comfort and the woman who loves to feel put together. And it all starts with permission: permission to care for myself, to dress up again, and to find beauty in the everyday moments of motherhood.
✨ Reminder: Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish — it’s necessary.
Simplifying My Postpartum Wardrobe
One of the first ways I started finding myself again was by simplifying my wardrobe. Gone are the days of spending hours deciding what to wear. I need pieces that are functional yet stylish, comfortable yet chic.
Here’s how I created a postpartum wardrobe that actually works:
Invest in Quality Basics: Think classic jeans, soft tees, and versatile tops that can be dressed up or down.
Embrace Layers: Layering adds depth and makes it easier to transition between errands, meetings, or playtime.
Accessorize with Intention: A gold hoop, a textured bag, or a bold lip can make even a simple outfit feel special.
Prioritize Comfort: Fabrics that breathe and stretch are your best friends. You deserve to feel good while looking good.
Fashion has always been a part of who I am — but now, it’s simpler, more intentional, and more reflective of my life as a mom who still values style and self-expression.
Incorporating Faith & Affirmations into My Daily Life
As much as outer style matters, the real transformation starts within.
Affirmations and faith have been my anchors in this season of rediscovery — reminding me that confidence begins with how I speak to myself.
Affirmations are powerful because they help you silence self-doubt, shift your mindset, and align your thoughts with truth. They’ve become part of my morning routine — spoken with coffee in hand, sometimes while my toddler babbles nearby.
To help other moms experience this same empowerment, I created MOMME: 90 Spiritual Affirmations to Empower Your Essence as a Mother — an eBook filled with biblical affirmations to help you rebuild your confidence and identity through faith.
Here’s how you can start incorporating affirmations into your daily life:
Morning Ritual: Start your day with one powerful truth.
“I am worthy of all the good things this year has to offer.”
Journaling Practice: Write three affirmations each morning that align with your current goals.
Visual Reminders: Set affirmations as phone wallpapers or sticky notes around your home.
Mindful Moments: When you feel overwhelmed, pause and repeat one.
“I am capable of handling whatever comes my way.”
A few affirmations from my MOMME eBook:
“I love all of me, for God made me in His image.” (Genesis 1:27)
“I lean on God’s understanding and trust His plans, even when life feels uncertain.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
“I prioritize self-care, recognizing that a gentle and quiet spirit is precious in God’s sight.” (1 Peter 3:4)

Embracing the New Year, Embracing the New Me
This year, I’m not chasing the “old me.”
I’m celebrating the evolved me — the woman who has grown through motherhood, deepened in faith, and found new purpose in this season of life.
2025 is about balance, confidence, and gratitude.
It’s about choosing joy in the small things, dressing in a way that reflects who I am, and giving myself grace along the way.
To every woman reading this — whether you’re a new mom, a seasoned one, or simply in a season of rediscovery — I hope you see yourself in my story. You are not alone. You are evolving, and that’s something to celebrate.
