What They Don’t Tell You About Motherhood: Burnout, Hormones and Healing - Interview with Emma Morris

In this powerful episode of Reset, Ash sits down with Emma Morris - Clinical Nutritionist, Mother and Founder of Maia Mothers Collective - to talk about the raw, real and often overlooked realities of becoming a mum.

Emma supports women through the transition into motherhood, known as matrescence, and her work focuses on burnout, postpartum health, hormonal changes and nervous system regulation. Together, we explore what actually happens to the body and brain after birth, why the idea of "bouncing back" is outdated, and what women really need during this transformative time.

Whether you're preparing for motherhood, in the thick of it, or supporting someone who is, this is a must-listen conversation filled with practical tips and powerful insights.

In this episode we discuss:

* What happens to a woman’s brain, hormones and nervous system after birth

* Burnout in motherhood - what it looks like and how to support recovery

* Red flags to look out for in early postpartum

* Nervous system regulation tools

* Postpartum testing, nutrition and supplements

* The importance of women's circles and community connection

* Menstrual cycles and what to expect after giving birth

* How partners and friends can support new mums

* What Emma wishes more people understood about motherhood
