002: Motherhood and Matrescence - Why Women Feel Changed After Having Children

from The Matrescence Project · host The Matrescence Project

Motherhood changes women deeply — neurologically, psychologically, emotionally, and socially — yet so few of us are ever taught to expect it. In this episode of The Matrescence Project, I explore the science behind matrescence and the hidden transformation that takes place when a woman becomes a mother. I unpack the wider societal consequences of continuing to undervalue this season of life, and why understanding matrescence matters not only for mothers today, but for the generations of women coming after us. Because changing the conversation around motherhood could change everything. For up to date information on future episodes, be part of the conversation and the opportunity to have experts answer your questions around matrescence and your becoming into motherhood, be sure to follow The Matrescence Project on Facebook and Instagram. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575355774112 https://www.instagram.com/matrescence_project/
