What did you think of this episode? Send me a text message and let me know!What happens when motherhood and perimenopause collide? In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and doula, and author of Mothershift, Jessie Harrold, to talk about the big identity shifts that come with these life stages. We unpack the messy emotions, the self-doubt, and the cultural pressures that make change feel so hard—and why it's also a chance to rediscover who we are.Jessie and I explore how small moments of curiosity can spark creativity and self-trust, even in the chaos. Whether it's a quiet walk or just taking a deep breath, these simple shifts can help us embrace change instead of fighting it. Join us for an honest, dare I say even poetic conversation about navigating grief and discovering the upgraded versions of ourselves in midlife! Connect with JessieThe Website:https://www.jessieharrold.comInstagram: @jessie.es.harrold

In this episode, Gervase Kolmos sits down with Jessi Harold, author of Mothershift, to explore the transformative journey known as matrescence.

In today's episode, I am joined by Jessie Harrold, a coach, doula and author of ‘Mothershift: Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage'. A couple of years ago, I followed Jessie's course by the same name and it held me deeply in the depths of my postpartum identity shift. This conversation dives deep in the process of matrescence, the part community plays in this and how, as mothers, we can learn to become recipients of care in ways we don't always see portrayed online.Tune in to hear more from us on:The concept of Mothershift and how to navigate this identity shift postpartumCommunity as the mother power and how motherhood is shifting people away from hyper individualismWhat it means for us to be reproductively hyperburdened as humansMenopause and the grandmother hypothesisPostpartum depression and experiencing maternal rageExperiencing a nourishment barrier in receiving care and support and the myth of being perfectly resourcedPerforming vulnerability on social mediaThe impact of having a baby on relationships and how heteronormativity plays a role in thisResources + LinksEpisode 78 of the Belonging podcast with Jessie Harold on Non-Linear ReciprocityJessie's book ‘Mothershift: Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage'Jessie's podcast Becoming, season 6 episode 7, with Mara Glatzel and myself on MothershiftMara Glatzel's book ‘Needy: How to Advocate for Your Needs and Claim Your Sovereignty'Episode 101 of the Belonging podcast on Delayed Postpartum Depression + RageEpisode 127 of the Beloning podcast with Amelia Hruby on Social Media for the Anxiously AttachedMy book, Root and Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect to Land, Lineage, Community, and the SelfConnect with me on Instagram @beccapiastrelliTimestamps[0:00] The Mothershift and Matrescence[16:14] Navigating Postpartum Emotions: Rage and Acceptance[19:10] Social Media's Role in Motherhood Narratives[20:11] Cultural Expectations and the Reality of Motherhood[30:37] The Importance of Community in Motherhood[44:42] Navigating Under-Resourced Care & The Nourishment Barrier[50:10] The Impact of Parenthood on Relationships

Back in June 2023, I interviewed matrescence expert Jessie Harrold on Bound + Determined, and she shared with raw vulnerability how hard it was to land her book deal. She talked about the timing, the road blocks, the shots in the dark she took, and what ultimately got her the publishing deal that is now launching Mothershift: Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage. I still get emails several times a month from people who have stumbled upon that episode (#91) and are grateful for it. They tell me it was helpful to hear that for some people, this process is challenging and not what they'd imagined--that resilience and perseverance are necessary traits to bringing this dream to life. So it felt right to bring Jessie back on the show, as she is weeks away from launching Mothershift, to hear what the rest of her process was like.

Welcome to another heartfelt episode of The Happy Mama Movement Podcast! Today, I'm thrilled to dive into a meaningful conversation with Jessie Harrold. Jessie has dedicated over fifteen years to guiding women through profound transformations and life's pivotal rites of passage.

Today we're going beyond the birth plan to talk about birth principles! Although a well-crafted birth plan can be a powerful tool, more often than not they're formulaic, and outcome-focused nature can give a false illusion of control, and even elicit eye rolls from jaded caregivers. Jessie Harrold shares with Adriana how your efforts may be better spent on first crafting your own set of birth principles.Sponsor offers - TIME SENSITIVE! NEEDED - Get 20% off at ThisIsNeeded.com with code BIRTHFULHONEYLOVE - Get 20% off at HoneyLove.com/Birthful JENNI KAYNE - Get 15% off at JenniKayne.com/Birthful with code BIRTHFUL15AQUATRU - Get 20% off at AquaTru.com with code BIRTHFULACORNS - Go to acorns.com/birthful to start investing for your future today!FAMILYALBUM APP - Download the app for free, wherever you get your apps! DR.

Today I talk with doula, coach and mother, Jessie Harrold. Jessie is passionate about navigating the transition into motherhood with trust and confidence. Jessie talks to the experience of both losing and finding ourselves in motherhood, and how bounce-back culture overlooks the hard work of navigating huge identity shifts. She shares what happens after the first 40 days of motherhood, how to reorient our lives around newly defined values and priorities as parents, and ways to make sense of pivotal moments. We dive into the shifts that occur in our relationships, and how we can take responsibility for creating our place of belonging in our communities. Jessie shares her work supporting mothers to lean into the liminal nature of postpartum, understanding it as a slow yet profound process of stepping into our motherhood identity, with all the meaning, joy and grief that comes along with it. She encourages new mothers to ask themselves, at many points along the journey ‘who am I now'? And to continue asking questions of ourselves as we become, and continue to evolve, as mothers.

In our first episode on matrescence, we talked about continuing to carry a love for nature and time outside into pregnancy as we prepare for the major life change of becoming a parent. This episode continues into the next phase in the process, when the much-anticipated birth is over, and we step into this new role and all that it entails, indoors and out.From the tender early days of the fourth trimester, to integrating the outdoors into your little one's lives as they grow, the postpartum phase of matrescence is a complex period of healing, care-giving, bonding, learning and un-learning. It's a time that can simultaneously hold grief and ambivalence, and profound joy — all in the same hand.In this episode, we'll hear from Rukmini Halliwell and Rachel Barrett again, speaking about the early days with their children Zen and Lola, who are now 21 months and 9 months old, respectively. And we'll also be joined by Jessie Harrold, a coach and a doula who supports women through various rites of passage, including that of matresence. Listen to part 1, available on your feed now.Featured in this episode: Rukmini Halliwell, Rachel Barrett, & Jessie HarroldHosted & Produced by Hailey HirstEditing & production support by Gale StraubA production of Ravel MediaSponsored by Yonder, Danner, Goodr, & OrganifiJoin the She Explores Podcast community on FacebookVisit She-Explores.com & Follow Us on InstagramResourcesFeatured in this episode: Rukmini Halliwell: Instagram @rukminihalliwellRachel Barrett: Instagram @luminiousandwildJessie Harrold:  Instagram @jessie.es.harrold | Podcast | WebsiteSubmit Your Story of KindnessMatrescence--What is it?Ravel MediaSponsors and Discount CodesYonder: Get $100 off your first stay with the code SheExplores100 at checkout via Yonder.com.Goodr: Get 15% off your sunglasses order by using the code EXPLORE15 at checkout at Goodr.com.Danner: GO THERE in Danner's most iconic women's styles by visiting Danner.com.Organifi: Head to organifi.com/explore and use code EXPLORE for 20% off. Episodes air weekly on Wednesdays-- subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss an episode.

This conversation is another tender one for me. I find as I'm navigating these initial months of motherhood (and in the absence of being able to have lots of community come over to my house), I'm having the essential conversations here on the podcast. The wonderful Jessie Harrold joins me in this episode to talk about major life transitions and the skills we need to traverse change. Jessie is a coach, women's mentor, and doula who has been supporting women through radical life transformations and other rites of passage for over a decade. She works one-on-one with women and mothers, facilitates mentorship programs, women’s circles and rituals, and hosts retreats and wilderness quests. Together we talk about "arriving" at motherhood as an identity, how major life transitions (like motherhood and loss of a family member) make painfully clear that we as a society don't know how to show up for each other, the skills we need to learn as a society to traverse change better, learning how to ask for community care and learning how to extend care without being asked, the tension that can arise in asking for and navigating community care, nonlinear reciprocity, practices around major life transitions, and the invitation to create new culture.

She has been working with women for more than a decade, supporting them through the rites of passage of womanhood - especially motherhood.As she outlines in this interview, there is a sacred space for a woman when she becomes a mother that must be deeply respected and honoured - and if we don't hold that for her, she will feel lonely, unsure, and lost.So how do we safely move through this time?How can you honour your own uncertain moments in motherhood?This is a beautiful insight into the rituals and support we all need in matrescence.You can read more about Jessie's work here.

Jessie Harrold is a women’s mentor, wilderness quest guide, doula, and author of the book Project Body Love: my quest to love my body and the surprising truth I found instead. We talk about Jessie's quest to reclaim her identity after her big dream of becoming a doctor didn't pan out, how she has since carved out work of real meaning, and how she has learnt to be in her body.

In today's episode I'm talking to my hometown gal, Jessie Harrold.  Jessie is a writer, women's mentor, coach and doula. She holds degrees in Neuroscience and Health Promotion, and her qualitative, story-based research on women’s experiences navigating health and well-being has won multiple awards and been published internationally.   Project Body Love is the story of her quest to find acceptance, respect, and maybe even love for her body after spending a lifetime counting calories and drops of sweat.  What followed was a two-year series of experiments that had her mining the depths of her past, dismantling the effects of Diet Culture on her self-worth, taking up bellydancing, posing for nude photographs, and other daring feats of self-exploration. In this episode we discuss: What it means to love your body. Cool things you body can do.  Health at every size and intuitive eating.  Being a fat person in a thin-obsessed world Why Health is a value.  The surprising truth she found on her quest to love her body.

Today we are going to go beyond the birth plan to talk about birth principles. Although a well crafted birth plan can be a powerful tool, more often than not their formulaic, and outcome-focused nature can give a false illusion of control, and elicit eye rolls from jaded caregivers. The truth is, your efforts may be better spent on first crafting your own set of birth principles. Jessie Harrold explains why.

Hello Couragemakers! This week on The Couragemakers Podcast, I'm thrilled to be chatting to previous guest Jessie Harrold! Jessie is an author, women's mentor, coach and doula.  She does what she likes to call “women's work,” which means she helps women bring their babies earthside, creates community and holds brave spaces for women to find themselves in, helps women reconnect with their bodies and the earth, and offers up a dose of word medicine wherever she can.  The thread that weaves all of this work together is Jessie's unwavering commitment to helping women and mothers unearth and reclaim their connection to themselves, their power, and their sovereignty.  Jessie lives in an oceanside cottage with her little family, and is currently celebrating the release of her first book, Project Body Love: my quest to love my body and the surprising truth I found instead. It would be easier to share with you what we didn't talk about during our conversation, as we covered so much ground. We dive into changing identities and rites of passage and the grief that can often accompany it, finding spaces online and offline to support you, why group wisdom is so important, the importance and scarcity of deep listening and building communities. Jessie shares the story behind her book and her own creative process and Jessie's answer to the one thing she would share with the world sends a shiver down my spine. I love Jessie's philosophy and I have so much admiration for the work she does. If you're in the mood for honest talk, creative inspiration and want a big reminder that you're doing just fine, I know you're going to love this episode! So settle in and enjoy the show!   About Jessie Jessie Harrold is an author, women's mentor, coach and doula.  She does what she likes to call “women's work,” which means she helps women bring their babies earthside, creates community and holds brave spaces for women to find themselves in, helps women reconnect with their bodies and the earth, and offers up a dose of word medicine wherever she can.  The thread that weaves all of this work together is Jessie's unwavering commitment to helping women and mothers unearth and reclaim their connection to themselves, their power, and their sovereignty.  Jessie lives in an oceanside cottage with her little family, and is currently celebrating the release of her first book, Project Body Love: my quest to love my body and the surprising truth I found instead.

I'm blown away on a daily basis by this community, so thank you, thank you, thank you This week's episode is coming to you late courtesy of a stomach bug, but I couldn't be more thrilled to release this episode on International Women's Day!

Jessie shares her journey of finding a way of putting her passions under one roof, aligning her life with her values and the courage that comes with playing the long game. We have a great discussion about external expectations, not needing to achieve something to justify our existence and the glamorisation of big leaps and the tiny steps Jessie has taken along the way. This is a fantastic episode for all multi-passionate and creative women who are looking to find the theme behind their body of work, for any woman who is going through any life transition and a fantastic reminder to be uncompromising and have patience.
