In the inaugural episode of 'Holding Space for Her,' host Rita Pietrosanto shares her heartfelt gratitude and personal journey into motherhood. Rita, a child and adolescent psychotherapist, discusses her transition to supporting mothers through the concept of matrescence — the transformational period of becoming a mother. She reflects on her experiences with social expectations, judgment, and the challenges of adapting to a new identity. With a focus on providing a non-judgmental space for mothers to express their realities, Rita aims to normalise the emotional complexities of motherhood and champion self-acceptance.
