Ep. 49 - Embracing Motherhood Without Losing Yourself

Has becoming a mother left you feeling everything from blissful to secretly longing for the life you had before?  In this episode, educators and “Seed Mother” founders Julia Sarewitz and Victoria Trinko shed light on “matrescence,” or the process of becoming a mother.  They discuss how the motherhood journey is a developmental process (similar to adolescence) in that it comes with unavoidable changes in one’s identity, social life, mind, body and spirit.  In addition, society’s tendency to focus primarily on the needs of the child can leave new mothers feeling exhausted, alone, resentful, and guilty for not experiencing a fairy-tale version of parenthood. If this sounds familiar to you, tune in to learn how to feel more empowered and better supported through this transformative process.    For more information about matrescence, Seed Mother’s workshops, and one-on-one wellness offerings, visit www.seed-mother.com.
