    In this episode of The Real Mom Hub Podcast, we dive deep into the concept of matrescence—a term society deserves to know. Much like adolescence marks the transformation from child to adult, matrescence captures the profound, multifaceted shift a woman undergoes as she becomes a mother.

    We explore the biological changes, emotional turbulence, identity shifts, and societal expectations that define this transition. By shining a light on matrescence, we highlight the urgent need for this term to become common knowledge—because understanding the enormity of motherhood can help mothers feel seen, validated, and supported.

    Tune in as we break down why matrescence matters, how it mirrors adolescence, and what it reveals about the complex and beautiful journey of becoming—and being—a mom.

    ✨ This is a conversation every mom needs to hear, and one that everyone who may interact with a mother going through matrescence should listen to. Let’s make matrescence a word we all know and celebrate!
