Matresence is the period of growth and transition in the early years in becoming a mother. Whilst turmoil and identity shifts are expected in 'adolescence', it's only recently that such shifts have been recognised and validated in our becoming of a mother too.  In this episode I am joined by Zoe Blaskey, transformational coach, founder of Motherkind and host of The Motherkind Podcast.  In this episode, Zoe and I explore: What is matresence, what causes it and how long does it last?What can we do to support ourselves through these enormous shifts in identity.Is there anything that we can do in preparation, before becoming a mother?Worth listening to whether you're pregnant and this period of your life is fast approaching, or you're right in the throes of it, with young children at home. _____________________________________ Zoe Blaskey Links Motherkind Website Follow Zoe on Instagram Birth-ed Links Join free- BUMP CLUB- expert  week by week support throughout your pregnancy JOIN the Online Course from £40/$49 Group and Private Antenatal/Hypnobirthing Courses with podcast host and birth expert Megan Rossiter ______________________________________________ SPONSORS This episode is sponsored by Hot Tea Mama and The Night Owl, Music and Lullabies for Babies and Children Use code HOTTEA10 for 10% off Hot Tea Mama Listen to The Night Owl Sings Nursery Rhymes on Spotify or Apple Music Music Playing: 'Teddy Bear's Picnic (Instrumental)' from The Night Owl Sings Lullabies Support the show
