Matrescence is defined as the process of becoming a mother. It is the physical, psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual transformation women go through when we become mothers.

But does matrescence ever end?

Is it finite like adolescence?

In this episode of The Tough Mothers Podcast, I delve deeper into the evolution of matrescence with Jenn Donovan, who recently experienced a life-changing transition in her motherhood journey when her youngest child finished high school.

Key takeaways from this episode of The Tough Mothers Podcast:

- Matrescence is a lifelong transformation for mothers.

- Our children’s phases and transitions will change us as women, and our role as mothers.

- Every mother’s matrescence journey is different.
