First Time Mom Struggles: Normalizing the New Motherhood Identity Crisis


Listen Later

In this conversation, Jenny Tucker, the leader and founder of Centerline Community, a virtual postpartum support community, discusses the common struggles that new moms face when entering motherhood and the lack of support and information available to them.

She emphasizes the importance of sharing experiences and knowledge among mothers. Jenny also highlights the lack of support for modern women and the need for new models of care including better medical care for postpartum women, therapy appointments, pelvic floor exams, and more comprehensive check-ups.
The conversation explores the concept of “matrescence”, the transition from maiden to mother, and highlights this as an ongoing journey of self-discovery and transformation. The difficulty of making mom friends is also addressed, with suggestions for creating more inclusive and supportive spaces.
