The Motherhood Shift - Understanding Matrescence & Thriving as a Mom

🌟 Join this inspiring event hosted by: Mama's Got Mojo & Jersey City Moms

Becoming a mother is a profound transformation, a metamorphosis that transcends mere biology. It’s a journey that changes a woman's entire physiology and reshapes her identity, relationships, and worldview. Welcome to The Motherhood Shift, where we explore the profound transformation of matrescence.

What Is Matrescence?

Matrescence is the process of becoming a mother. Just as adolescence marks the transition from childhood to adulthood, matrescence is the bridge from womanhood to motherhood. It encompasses physical, hormonal, psychological, social, and even spiritual changes. Whether you give birth, adopt, or embrace surrogacy, matrescence weaves its intricate threads into your life.

Why Does Matrescence Matter?

1. Identity Shifts: During matrescence, you’ll redefine yourself. Your body changes, relationships evolve, and your role in the world takes on new dimensions. It’s a profound shift that deserves recognition and support.
2. Emotional Turmoil: Matrescence isn’t all blissful baby cuddles. It can be emotionally intense, filled with joy, doubt, and vulnerability. Acknowledging these feelings helps mothers navigate this uncharted territory.
3. Worldview Expansion: As a mother, you’ll ponder deeper questions. How do political systems affect your child’s future? What about social justice? Matrescence opens your eyes to broader issues.
