If you’ve ever felt lost in the “sweats and survival” season, this one is a reminder that finding your style isn’t about vanity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s about coming home to yourself. About redefining your normal. About being seen — by you first.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What This Episode Holds&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; • The identity shift that happens after kids and why it can feel like whiplash&lt;br /&gt; • Why getting dressed can be a form of self-care, not performance or pressure&lt;br /&gt; • How “influencer culture” can turn into overbuying, overwhelm, and a closet full of clothes you don’t even like&lt;br /&gt; • What it looks like to rebuild style with intention, sustainability, and self-trust&lt;br /&gt; • Erica’s journey from CPA to full-time stylist — and what it takes to choose the path you actually want&lt;br /&gt; • The truth about style after motherhood: it’s not about trends, it’s about how you want to feel in your own life&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who This Episode Is For&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; • Moms who feel like they lost themselves somewhere between diapers, deadlines, and survival mode&lt;br /&gt; • Women who want to feel confident in what they wear without chasing trends or buying more random shit online&lt;br /&gt; • Women craving a “new normal” that feels like them — not who they were before kids&lt;br /&gt; • Women who want to feel seen in their clothes again, without pressure to be a “fashion girl”&lt;br /&gt; • Women ready to choose themselves in small, tangible ways that actually change everything&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Resources &amp;amp; Next Steps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; If Erica’s story hit home and you’re ready to start reconnecting with your style:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Follow Erica on Instagram: The Wardrobe Staple — &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/the.wardrobe.staple/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/the.wardrobe.staple/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Take the free &lt;b&gt;Iconic Mom Style Quiz&lt;/b&gt; — &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thewardrobestaple.com/quiz&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;https://www.thewardrobestaple.com/quiz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you enjoyed this episode, follow &lt;em&gt;Making Her Story&lt;/em&gt;, leave a five-star review, and stay close.

We talk about how postpartum bodies get treated like “before and after” projects, why “you’re so brave” can sting, and how confidence can be an act of exposure therapy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And because we’re both raising boys, we talk about what it looks like to model body neutrality and self-trust in real time — in dressing rooms, in workout routines, in conversations our kids are always listening to.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this episode, we talk about:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jackie’s “origin story” as a creator&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why curated “aspirational” content can quietly make you feel like shit&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The power of being &lt;em&gt;30% good&lt;/em&gt; at a lot of things — and going all-in anyway&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Body image, postpartum pressure, and the exhaustion of constant self-editing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why “you’re so brave” isn’t always a compliment&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Shaving your head, beauty standards, and the fear of not being “classically feminine”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dressing for dopamine vs. dressing for the male gaze&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Connect with Jackie Kelley:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Instagram:&lt;/b&gt; Stay At Home Jackie &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/stayathomejackie/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/stayathomejackie/ &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;TikTok:&lt;/b&gt; Stay At Home Jackie (she’s trying, okay) &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@stayathomejackie&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;https://www.tiktok.com/@stayathomejackie&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Newsletter:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.stayathomejackie.com/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;https://www.stayathomejackie.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also check out:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Crab Twins and Friends&lt;/em&gt; — Ashley’s children’s book illustrated by Jackie: &lt;a href=&quot;https://tr.ee/W-dzggdqKt&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;https://tr.ee/W-dzggdqKt&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you loved this episode, share it with the friend who needs permission to exist louder — and come back for &lt;b&gt;Part 2&lt;/b&gt; where we keep going deeper into the stories we carry, the rules we break, and the rooms we’re building.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESOURCES + CONNECTION:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find Ashley on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsashleycrabb/ &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Download the Tell My Story Firestarter: https://ashley-crabb.mykajabi.com/opt-in &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Book a Vibe Check Call with Me: https://calendly.com/itsashleycrabb/30min &lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>00:32:17</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://hosting-media.riverside.com/media/imports/podcasts/6569caa9-ddee-4b6c-94ac-b4133fbc2370/093g4e5e7mz59geftbw1qtr4vin6.jpg"/><itunes:title>Body Image, Boy Moms, and Breaking the Script with Jackie Kelley (Part 1) | Episode 21</itunes:title><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Eldest Daughter Series: A Peek Inside Every Episode | Episode 36]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><b>The Eldest Daughter Series: A Peek Inside Every Episode</b></p><p>Eight episodes.

It reveals them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this deeply raw and transformative episode of &lt;em&gt;Wealth in Mothers&lt;/em&gt;, Ashley Crabb dismantles one of the most dangerous narratives women are handed: that becoming a mother means losing yourself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead, Ashley shares how motherhood cracked her open — exposing every inherited survival pattern, every identity she performed, and every version of herself she was never meant to carry forever.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a conversation about breaking cycles, grieving old identities, rebuilding self-trust, and discovering that the “lost” woman so many mothers search for was never actually gone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ashley explores the emotional reality of motherhood, survival mode, eldest daughter conditioning, nervous system exhaustion, entrepreneurship, identity shifts, healing, self-awareness, boundaries, and what it truly means to rebuild your life from the inside out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’ve ever felt like motherhood unraveled you… this episode will help you understand why that unraveling may actually be your becoming.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is not about perfection.&lt;br /&gt; This is about reclamation.&lt;br /&gt; This is about wealth in mothers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h1&gt;IN THIS EPISODE&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; Why motherhood doesn’t make women lose themselves &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; The identity grief many mothers experience &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; The difference between bending and breaking &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Survival mode, performance, and eldest daughter conditioning &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; How motherhood forces self-confrontation &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Why healing requires letting old versions of yourself go &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; The emotional reality of rebuilding after burnout &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Learning self-trust after years of self-abandonment &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; ADHD diagnosis, therapy, shadow work, and nervous system healing &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; The shift from surviving to fully living &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Reconnecting with the “feral little girl” within &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; What true wealth in mothers actually means &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h1&gt;KEY QUOTES&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Motherhood didn’t make me lose myself.

I started because everything around me stopped working.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When COVID hit, I lost my job on the same day Washington state shut down. Not as part of a layoff wave — just me, walking out of that building alone, arms full of my things, trying to hold my chin up. And for the first time in my adult life, I couldn&apos;t hide behind the hustle anymore. The income was gone. The illusion of control was gone. And what was left was me — finally forced to slow down and actually look at myself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This episode is about what happened next. Not the clean version. The real one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What This Episode Holds&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Losing my job the day the world shut down — and why it cracked me open in a way nothing else had&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How I had tied my entire worth, identity, and sense of control to my paycheck — and what happened when it disappeared&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The spiral that followed: more drinking, more numbing, more running from what I didn&apos;t want to feel&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The moment I decided — not in some big breakthrough, but quietly, dog-sitting for a friend — that this could not be it&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How I started The Crab That Can with nothing but a flyer, a feral little girl&apos;s energy, and a need to point my fire somewhere that wasn&apos;t self-destruction&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What it actually looks like to be destroying and creating at the same time — and why that messy in-between is the whole point&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who This Episode Is For&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The woman who has tied her worth to her work — and felt herself unravel when it was taken away&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The woman who is in the middle of the metamorphosis right now and can&apos;t see the other side yet&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The woman who has been using busyness, hustle, or control as a way to avoid feeling what&apos;s underneath&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The woman who is ready to rise — even if she is still matted and messy&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;I was destroying and creating at the same time.

I just knew what the cage looked like.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I talk about:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The difference between awareness and accountability—and why confusing them keeps you stuck&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The identity I built around being the martyr, the savior, the chaos coordinator—and what it cost me&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What shadow work actually looks like when you stop talking about it and start sitting in it&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why transformation is uncomfortable, painful, and hard—and why that means you&apos;re finally moving&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Letting go of the need to make your dreams smaller so other people can hold them&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Learning to receive help, support, and accountability without feeling like a failure&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What it means to forgive yourself and stay accountable at the same time&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;The hardest truth I had to face:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I wasn&apos;t doing the work. I was watching myself not do it and calling that growth.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This episode is about the moment I stopped abandoning myself. About choosing to be an active participant in my own expansion—not just an aware observer of it. About naming what I want out loud, without softening it, without shrinking it, even when it makes someone else uncomfortable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because awareness without action is just a really pretty cage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And you were never meant to stay in it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✨ &lt;b&gt;This week&apos;s reflection prompts:&lt;/b&gt; Where are you aware but not yet taking action? What patterns are you still feeding? What do you truly want—and what have you been making smaller? Write it down. Name it.
