Today we go deep on matrescence—the (often unnamed) rite of passage from maiden to mother—with maternal mentor and RN Samantha Feast (@themagicofmatrescence). We unpack what matrescence means beyond baby brain and nappies, why your brain and identity truly change, and how to work with cyclical energy (yes, even with little ones) without guilt.
We talk postpartum realities, consent and contraception pressure, PMDD threads, village vs. modern life, and the power of capacity (some days 5% is 100%). Samantha shares simple, doable supports: nervous system micro-pauses, food/sleep basics, boundaries, and resourcing—plus her Maternal Mirror Deck and the “Return to Matrescence” initiation.
If you’ve ever wondered “Am I allowed to need this much support?”—this conversation is your permission slip.
