About

Hi, I’m Alexis — a woman, a wife, a mother, and someone who spent years putting herself last without even realizing it.

For as long as I can remember, my days revolved around everyone else’s needs — my husband’s, my kids’, work, appointments, routines, schedules, responsibilities. I prioritized every voice but my own. I convinced myself that being a “good mom” meant sacrificing myself in the process, even when it left me running on empty.

Along the way, I started carrying a weight that wasn’t just physical — it was emotional, mental, and heavy in ways I didn’t have words for.
Mom guilt.
Medical anxiety that felt overwhelming and paralyzing.
Feeling stuck in a body that didn’t feel like mine anymore.
Trying to be everything for everyone, while quietly losing pieces of myself.

I kept telling myself, “As long as everyone else is good, I’m good.”
But I wasn’t.

It wasn’t until my therapist gently asked me,
“Why are you okay with treating yourself like you’re not important?”
that something in me finally shifted.

That question shook me.
It forced me to face the truth: I had given up on my own needs, my own voice, my own health, mentally and physically. I had forgotten who I was outside of being a mom, a wife, and a worker trying to hold everything together.

So this blog is my beginning.
My healing.
My return to myself.

I’m on a journey to lose weight, not just to change my body, but to feel stronger — mentally, emotionally, physically.
I’m learning to take up space again, to prioritize myself without guilt, and to rebuild the parts of me I abandoned for too long.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, disconnected from your own body, or buried under the weight of motherhood and responsibility — you’re not alone.
If you’ve ever wondered who you are beneath the roles you carry — you’re not alone.
If you’re trying to grow, heal, and find yourself again — you’re not alone.

This is Motherhood & Who Alex Is — a soft place for women like us to rediscover who we are, piece by piece, with honesty and grace.

I’m still becoming.
And I’m grateful you’re here with me.
