MOMENT 23: How Motherhood Rewires Your Brain For The Better | Amy Taylor-Kabbaz

Society often stigmatizes "mom brain," dismissing new mothers as being “hormonal,” “sentimental,” and “overly emotional.” But matrescence expert Amy Taylor-Kabbaz argues that if we truly understood the profound changes that happen in our brain when we become a mama, we’d see them as a superpower, not a source of embarrassment. In this enlightening moment, Amy delves into the profound neurological changes that accompany motherhood, and explains why they should be celebrated, not shamed. Press play to discover: what matrescence is, why it’s so crucial to have language to describe the experience of motherhood, the incredible social, physical and psychological changes a woman goes through when she becomes a mama, why the first 7 years of motherhood are absolutely crucial for both mother and baby, how a mother’s life fundamentally splits in two, and why ‘mom brain’ is real — but it’s not what you think!
