Motherhood is often described as the “arrival point” of womanhood—fulfilling, natural, and intuitive. But the reality? Many women experience deep shifts in identity, sometimes even grief for the selves they used to know.
In this episode of Mind Over Matter, we unpack matrescence—the emotional, physical, and social transition into motherhood. With warmth and honesty, we explore how becoming a mom can reshape your relationships, priorities, and even your sense of self.
We also touch on the invisible mental load, the myth of the “supermom,” and why it’s important to see this stage not as losing yourself, but as transforming into someone new.
This episode isn’t just for mothers—it’s for anyone who’s been shaped by, loved by, or walked alongside one.
Instead of asking “How do I get back to who I was?”—maybe the real question is, “Who am I becoming?”
