In this heartfelt episode of the Her.Unlocked Podcast, I sit down with my fast friend and matrescence educator, Sam Hall. We dive deep into the transformative experience of motherhood, known as matrescence, a term that captures the monumental changes women undergo when becoming mothers. Sam shares her personal journey, professional insights, and the valuable resources she offers through her Welcome Mama Journal and Day Planner.
We discuss the importance of defining success in motherhood, overcoming societal pressures, and embracing our individual motherhood journeys. This episode is packed with actionable advice and warm moments that will leave every mom feeling seen, heard, and empowered.
