Becoming Mum: Change, Identity, & the Journey of Matrescence - Live with Penny, Dominique, Gemma and Cassandra

Motherhood is one of the most profound life transitions, yet many of its emotional and psychological shifts remain unspoken. This panel brings together diverse voices to explore matrescence - the physical, emotional, and identity changes that occur when a woman becomes a mother.From sleep and stress challenges, to values shifts, to the deep psychological adjustment of new roles and responsibilities, we’ll unpack how matrescence shapes women’s wellbeing. Together we’ll normalise the messy mix of joy, overwhelm, anxiety, and ambivalence that can come with this transition, and share tools, stories, and strategies for building resilience along the way.Find out more about our guests here:Penny MoysesDominique AntiglioGemma PageCassandra JayThis podcast was recorded live from the Inspiration Stage at Home, Life & You LIVE 2025.Find out more about Home, Life & You via our websiteBuy tickets to Home, Life & You LIVE 2026 Follow us on Instagram for more inspiration, advice and community.
