To kick off this first episode in the Matrescence series we are discussing what matrescence is and the physical, social, biological and emotional changes that occur with this big transition from woman to mother. 

Nikki McCahon, our matrescence educator will discuss: 

• The history of the term matrescence
• It’s similarities to adolescence
• The physical, social, biological, emotional changes that occur when you become a mum
• How this is an ever evolving transition, and doesn’t just happen once and then stop 
• How our actual brains change and re-wire during pregnancy and after birth 

Today’s episode is episode 1 of 5 in this series. If you want to listen to this entire podcast series all at once and to learn all about re-defining yourself after birth, practical tools and tips to cushion the transition into motherhood and removing the stigma around “bouncing back” after birth then this entire podcast series is now live up inside my online membership program the Pregnancy Posse. 

We also have a bonus 6th episode exclusive only to Posse members where Nikki talks us through managing stress and anxiety, leaning into our feminine energy and navigating changes in relationship with our partner after birth.
