The Matrescence Project
The Matrescence Project is a podcast exploring the transformation women experience as they become mothers. Through honest conversations, lived experiences, and expert insights, this project sheds light on the neurological, psychological, and social changes that we experience in the season of becoming a mother - matrescence - including those huge identity shifts that we can all relate to.
Whether you’re navigating trying to conceive, pregnancy, early motherhood, balancing career and family, a new stay at home lifestyle, or simply trying to make sense of who you are becoming, this podcast offers a space to feel seen, supported, and understood—reminding you that you’re not alone in the journey.
Through these conversations we hope to normalise the experience of "becoming", while disrupting the current "bouncing back" culture.

In this introductory episode of The Matrescence Project, we explore what “matrescence” really means and why it’s so important to bring this term into our everyday language.
I'll share the intention behind this project, and what we hope to build over time—a space that supports, informs, and validates the experience of becoming a mother.
Whether you’re a new mum, a seasoned mum, or someone yet to step into motherhood, this episode is an invitation to better understand the evolving journey of identity, growth, and becoming.
