After a few months off from the podcast to host our Live Nourish program to support mums in our in-depth, deeply supportive container we are back! This week on The Mum Debrief, we’re exploring the often-overlooked emotional transition into motherhood known as matrescence. I'm joined by the wonderful Claudia from @weareminimondo, a fellow mum and advocate for maternal wellbeing and identity support through early motherhood.

We talk about the identity shifts that happen when you become a mother, why so many mums feel lost or invisible, and how we can begin to honour the messy, beautiful evolution of becoming someone new.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Who even am I now?” - this episode is for you.

We also share gentle tools to support your nervous system, emotional wellbeing, and self-connection, even during the wildest seasons of motherhood.

And if you’re looking for deeper support, The Calm Mum Formula is now available on a Pay-What-Feels-Right-To-You basis. It’s our signature course on stress relief and regulation for mums - because you deserve to feel calm, grounded, and connected to yourself again.
