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

Today we are kicking off the Matrescence series, delving into the history of matrescence, what exactly this transition from woman to mother involves and the biological, physical, social and emotional changes that occur during this transition from woman to mother.  This is episode 1 of a 5 part Matrescence series with the wonderful Nikki McMahon. 

Nikki is a matrescence educator, who helps women embrace motherhood as a catalyst for personal transformation. She runs incredible motherhood circles, online programs and an incredible podcast called the Dear Mama project. She is also so beautifully spoken and I could honestly listen to her voice all day long. 

Now let’s get into episode 1 of our 5 part Matrescence series. You are going to love today’s chat with Nikki as we dive into what exactly matrescence is – it honestly is one of the most fascinating topics I’ve personally encountered and one that I know you’ll love. Enjoy!
