Matrescence it’s a term coined by anthropologist Dana Raphael to describe the transition that a woman undergoes when she becomes a mother. When I came across this concept recently, I had one of those lightbulb moments and knew I had to record a podcast about it.

In my humble opinion, becoming a mother is probably the most noble pursuit any woman can experience in their lifetime. Yet society often gives us conflicting messages about the way we should approach this situation.

In this episode, I will share with you some insights that hopefully will help you navigate this period (pre- and post-birth), cultivate the right mindset, and empower you in your own transformation as you bring a new person into this world.
