In this episode, I sit down with Victoria Trinko and Julia Sarewitz, co-founders of Seed Mother, to explore the transformative journey of matrescence - the developmental transition to motherhood. We discuss the emotional rollercoaster of becoming a mother, including the often-overlooked aspects of grief and identity changes. Victoria and Julia share their findings from studying under leading matrescence researcher Dr. Athan and their peer-reviewed study on how matrescence education can support maternal well-being. We also talk about the crucial role of support systems and how to navigate relationships during this pivotal time.

Key Takeaway / Points:

  • What is matrescence and why is it important?
  • How does grief play a role in the transition to motherhood?
  • What brain changes occur during pregnancy and postpartum?
  • How can mothers build and maintain effective support systems?
  • What are the cultural expectations vs. realities of motherhood?
  • How can partners support each other through matrescence?
  • What role do grandparents play in the matrescence journey?
  • How can mothers trust their instincts in parenting?
  • What societal changes are needed to better support new mothers?
