Motherhood & Matrescence: The truths we were never told, author Amanda Jackson

from Yellow Shelf Podcast · host Johanna Fink, Host of Yellow Shelf

Motherhood & Matrescence: The truths we were never told Discover the truths about becoming a mother that no one talks about – the truths that can leave you feeling invisible, inadequate, or like you’ve lost yourself. This compassionate and eye-opening guide reframes mothering as a powerful, transformative experience. With clarity and warmth, it explores the concept of matrescence, the physical, emotional, and spiritual metamorphosis that occurs when a woman becomes a mother and the societal silence that surrounds it. This is a non-fiction book for mothers (and those supporting mothers), exploring the concept of matrescence ... the transformation a woman undergoes (physically, emotionally, spiritually, socially) when she becomes a mother. Jackson shares that much of matrescence is unspoken or under-acknowledged, many mothers feel isolated, ashamed, or that something is wrong with them, rather than seeing those experiences as part of a normal transition. By naming what is often invisible, she aims to give mothers permission to feel, to mourn what is lost, to embrace what is gained, and to reshape motherhood in a way that is more sustainable and authentic. To connect with Amanda ... https://motherhoodandmatrescence.com/book/ https://motherhoodandmatrescence.com www.instagram.com/motherhood_and_matrescence/
