The Becoming: Honoring Your Matrescence

Matrescence is the word that finally names what mothers have always known but rarely had language for. It describes the emotional, physical, hormonal, and social changes that occur when someone becomes a mother. It is as real and complex as adolescence, yet almost never acknowledged in traditional healthcare.

This space is about witnessing that process. We explore the shifts in identity, body image, partnership, and purpose that arrive with motherhood. We ask deeper questions about who you were before and who you are becoming now.

Matrescence is not something to “get through.” It is something to move with. Here, you can learn to honor each stage of your evolution, to see your growth not as loss but as expansion. You are allowed to take up space in your own story.
