Let’s talk Matrescence - the profound transition to motherhood

Matrescence. That’s the term used to describe the profound physical, emotional, hormonal, psychological, relational, and social transition into motherhood. It reshapes not only the body, but a woman’s identity, relationships, priorities, and sense of self.

In this conversation, we’ll explore the often-unspoken realities of the time immediately before and after birth: the identity shifts, the physical and emotional changes, the evolving dynamics within partnerships and families, and the tension between who we were and who we are becoming.

We’ll also discuss how you can secure support, community, and connection in today’s “village-less” world - both now and as your identity as a mother evolves.

Please feel free to send questions to me through private message beforehand, and/or come with your questions to the pod.
