Finding Matrescence Changed
My Life
Twelve years ago, I became a Mama.
And in that moment, I split in two:
Who I used to be, and a Mother.
And I have spent more than a decade trying to understand that Inner Split.
Over the past ten years, I have been gathering the data, the stories and the understanding of what happens to a woman when she becomes a mother.
Nearly 5,000 women - yes, 5,000! - have been through my online programs, my coaching, my events and my retreats, and I know them.
I can tell you exactly how they feel about themselves, and about being a mama.
And I can tell you with absolute certainty what a gift understanding Matrescence is for these women.
When they know the milestones and markers of Matrescence, they can navigate this time of their lives powerfully – without overwhelm, perfectionism and shame.
Becoming a mother is not just about raising a child. It is a rite of passage for the woman that is both an ending and beginning: she will never be who she used to be, and she doesn't fully know who she is yet.
Without Matrescence, a mama will believe there's something wrong with her.
She will tell herself everyone else is doing it better.
She will push herself to be more and do more.
And she will lose herself in motherhood.
And I know without a shadow of a doubt...
Unless a woman understands Matrescence, she will think there's something wrong with her.
We don't need to do it this way anymore.
I have gathered all the latest research, along with my own experience of thousands of hours listening to mothers, to revolutionise the way women feel about themselves as mothers.
With the right 'map', a mother will finally feel understood and empowered.
With the right insight and information, she will realise she's not the only one.
And with the right words, we can gather around each other and support each other differently.
Gathering together more than a decade of research, 'The Matrescence Map'
will give you...
Understanding what matrescence is and how to navigate it is like being
handed a map.
Once you've got the map, the journey gets easier... and really, really exciting. Because it’s the making of you.
