Hello mamas and welcome back to the Pregnancy with Physio Laura podcast. 

Today we are kicking off with episode 2 in the Matrescence series, diving into the identity crises that may present themselves as you journey through motherhood. This is episode 2 of a 5 part Matrescence series with the wonderful Nikki McMahon, our beautiful matrescence educator. Make sure you go back and listen to episode 1 if you haven’t already, because in this first episode we define exactly what matrescence is and the different physical, social, emotional and biological changes that occur as a you transition from woman to mother.

Today, Nikki discusses all the questions that often pop up for women after birth, and why this is a completely normal and appropriate part of the matrescence transition, and not something to be frightened of. Nikki will discuss how relationships change, identities and values are questioned and how this transition is not a one-off, but instead a life long matrescence journey. 

Now let’s get into episode 2 of our 5 part Matrescence series. You are going to love today’s chat with Nikki as we discuss a topic that so many women will understand – identities and re-defining yourself after birth. Enjoy!
