Let’s face it, having a baby and starting a family is a huge step. In wellness culture, there is a concept that has been attributed to this transitioning into this new developmental phase for mothers: Matrescence. It is the physical, emotional, hormonal and social transition to becoming a mother. This developmental phase does not only focus on pre-natal care but also post-natal care as well.

With Mother’s Day approaching, this hour is dedicated to mothers supporting one another and sharing their reflections on their respective journeys. We will also unpack how to navigate this journey while maintaining relationships, returning to work, looking after your mental health and still engage in other aspects of  daily life. We are joined by…
