The Psychology Sisters

What is Matrescence? (& why the fourth trimester terminology sucks)

The Psychology Sisters

Hey Mamas- welcome back to the first episode of The Psychology Mama's for the year!

What is Matrescence and WHY did nobody teach us about it?!

Well join us as we unpack the language around the fourth trimester and why one word in particular matters sooooo much!

We discuss: 
•Transition to motherhood is forever
•The motherhood mask
•Anger and rage 
•Perfectionism and the shift 
•Expectations Vs social narratives around motherhood: being able to do it all
•Guilt 
•Worldview shifts 
•A time of healing Vs what motherhood demands from you
•Raising children without community 

Have you heard of Matresence before this episode?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments. 

Happy listening, 

Aimee and Kat
