Matrescence may be a terminology you're not too familiar with, but if you're a mother, you'll fully understand its meaning.

Today's guest is Gemma Mercer, a transformation coach for mothers and Matrescence Educator. Gemma coaches women individually and in the workplace, helping them merge their ambitions, roles and responsibilities when juggling family life.

She believes becoming a mother doesn’t mean we need to lose our self and she supports women to ditch the should-do’s, regain control, rediscover their self-identity and redefine what they want from life… now that they are also Mum.

During today's conversation, Gemma and Kate talk about:

• What "Matrescence" means
• Gemma's ADHD journey
• Working in a patriarchal environment
• The idea of "having it all" as a mother
• Reasons you might not be coping with everything motherhood brings
• Trauma and ADHD
• Seeing our ADHD traits in our kids
• How motherhood changes you/your career
• Navigating new careers in matrescence
• Getting to know ourselves after having a baby
• The challenges of being an ADHD mother
• Motherhood and workplace burnout
• Diversity and inclusion in the workplace
