67) End of Matrescence month - a conversation

This month on Dam Parenting, we’ve delved deep into the transformative journey of Matrescence—a phase that’s often overlooked but crucial for every mother. From exploring the insights shared in Lucy Jones’ "Matrescence" to connecting with incredible voices from our Dam Parenting community, we've gathered knowledge, shared stories, and built a stronger understanding of this life-changing experience.

Now, in this final episode of our month-long Matrescence series, Eva and Maren reflect on all they've learned. While they've been fortunate to hear from amazing experts like Dr. Naomi Gibson, our resident psychologist, Harriet from Nourish and Nest, and Ilena Standring, a leading expert in Matrescence in Amsterdam, we also recognize that much of this journey is still under-explored in mainstream resources.

In this episode, Eva and Maren discuss their key takeaways, the gaps in research, and what the conversation around Matrescence still needs to address. Together, we reflect on what this journey means for mothers today, and why it’s vital to continue sharing knowledge and supporting one another.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Final thoughts and reflections on the key insights from our Matrescence series

  • The importance of community and support networks during this transformative phase

  • What we’ve learned about the emotional and physical journey of becoming a mother

  • How we can continue to raise awareness about Matrescence in the future


If any of these episodes resonated with you, share them with your friends, family, or community. Let’s ensure that Matrescence continues to get the attention it deserves. Remember, you are not alone on this journey.
