64) Matrescence at 6 months with Harriet

In this episode, Harriet returns for her 6-month Matrescence check-in, sharing her personal journey as she transitions through the profound changes of motherhood. As a seasoned postpartum doula, Harriet has spent years supporting other families through their own early parenting experiences. Now, she’s stepping into this new phase of life herself—experiencing Matrescence firsthand.

What has Harriet learned in these six months? How has her personal journey shaped her perception of her work? And how is her own experience influencing the way she supports and guides other mothers?

Join us as we dive into the transformative journey of Matrescence from the perspective of someone who’s not only lived it but has also guided countless families through it. Harriet shares valuable insights, the emotional rollercoaster of early motherhood, and the self-discovery that comes with the territory.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • The unique experiences and emotions that come with Matrescence

  • What Harriet has learned from her own journey that has changed her approach as a postpartum doula

  • How supporting others while navigating her own transformation has shifted Harriet’s perspective on motherhood and her work

  • Personal reflections, growth, and lessons learned in the first six months of motherhood
