Your Asian Besties

23 Pregnant at 40 and our matrescence journeys


Listen Later

We have BIG news to share - Maryn’s pregnant and joining the Mom club with Lia and Rée! With all of the things needed to prepare for baby, it’s easy to forget about yourself as the Mom in the process (and even more so after the baby is born).

We walk through our matrescence journeys, the process of becoming Moms including the psychological, social, and cultural changes that occur. Motherhood is filled with moments of uncertainty, exhaustion, resentment, and also magic, love, and joy. We’re here to normalize all of it.
