Ever feel like becoming a mother changed you in ways you can’t quite explain?

You’re not broken. You’re not failing. You’re experiencing matrescence.

In this episode, we unpack what matrescence really is — the profound physical, emotional, psychological and professional transformation that happens when you become a mother. Just like adolescence, it’s a developmental stage… yet hardly anyone talks about it.

For corporate career mums, this transition can feel especially intense. You’re navigating leadership, ambition, guilt, identity shifts, relationship changes, and a completely new internal world — all while trying to “hold it together” at work.

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t even know who I am anymore” — this episode is for you.

Because matrescence isn’t a breakdown.

It’s a becoming.
