Ep. 3 Motherhood Isn't a Moment: It's a Transformation

Hey there,I want to introduce you to a word that changed the way I understand motherhood.It’s called Matrescence.For so many of us, motherhood is described as a moment—the day your child is born.But what I’ve come to realize is…that’s not the full story.Motherhood is a transition.And for a long time, many of us have been moving through that transition without language for what we’re experiencing.In this episode, I’m joined by Olivia Seck, a Matrescence Coach, to talk about what Matrescence actually is, where the concept comes from, and why so many women feel caught off guard by the changes that come with early motherhood.This conversation is an introduction—but it’s also an invitation.Because once you have language…you start to see things differently.And if you’ve ever felt like you’re changing and can’t quite explain why…this might be the beginning of understanding it.Part 2 drops this Friday, where I take this conversation deeper and share what my journey through Matrescence has looked like.-Jasmine This is a public episode.
