Maybe matresence is so hard to define because of the vastly different experiences a woman can have from birth to birth. My guest today, Layla O'Mara is no exception. Layla had two of her children in Germany and her third in her hometown of Ireland. That led her on the journey towards matresence activism and also deepened her understanding of the different elements and seasons within us. Listen as Amy and Layla discuss:
- When our partners go back to work and how profound that can be in a country where there is little family support.
- Cultural expectations post birth and allowing healing and rest in different capacities.
- How the seasons of motherhood can work together and how each is necessary for growth, retreat, acceptance and change.
- Following our curiosities alongside acceptance and trust, each season will pass and return and each is fully necessary and a beautiful part of motherhood.

There needs to be a change in the way mothers are valued and seen in our society. We are here to spread the whispers of Matrescence together.
