"Being a mum is my favourite thing in the world. But something that I was determined to avoid when I became a mum was losing my own self identity or forgetting who I used to be.

"But I found that over the past couple of years - that has happened."

But the Dubliner did explain that she is still content with herself.

Rosanna said: "The funny thing is I've almost forgotten who I used to be but I much prefer the person that I am now.

"But what scares me is losing who I used to be to the point now say if Wes told me 'Take the day off tomorrow and do exactly what you want to do', I kind of wouldn't know what to do."

The influencer revealed the sacrifices she's had to make since becoming a mum.

She told: "My life revolves mainly in the home. Obviously I can do work online but I've had to sacrifice any travel.

"I used to travel all the time for work. I've had to sacrifice a lot of the events I used to go to and the things I used to do.

"And that's fine, it's only for a few years and I want to be there for my babies when they're small.

"I have two-year-old twins at home so I don't get to go that far.

"It's such a weird complex feeling where I really like my life now and love being a mum but I've forgotten who used to be and what I used to like what to do."

Rosanna told how grateful she is to have the life she has despite the "odd" feeling.

She explained: "It's just this sense of being lost and this loss of purpose. Obviously my purpose at the moment is to bring up my children.

"I used to be so career focused. It's odd to take a back seat from that.

"But saying that I'm really lucky - I've a great support system and a hands-on husband.

"But I just wanted to express the really odd feeling of losing yourself yet being happy and content and really like the new version of yourself."
