We talk and discuss the identity shift we experience when we become a mother.

Greetings, beautiful Mamas, and welcome back to another episode of MAMAQ. Today, we're tackling a question that often leaves many mothers puzzled and seeking guidance. It's a tricky one, but we're up for the challenge.In this episode, we'll be taking a closer look at mamas living with teenagers, through the lens of matrescence. As you probably already know, matrescence is the term used to describe the transformative journey that women go through after becoming mothers. It's a process that involves significant physical, emotional, and psychological changes that continue throughout a woman's life.Similarly, adolescence is a time of transformation from youth to maturity, and it too can be informed by the principles of matrescence. Drawing on my many years of research, experience, and teaching, I believe we can shed some light on this complex topic.Especially because i have joining me on this episode is my special guest, Linda Anderson. Linda is an experienced Mama Rising coach and matrescence guru who will be answering a question from one of our listeners. Together, we'll be exploring how matrescence can change the way we approach and view the relationships we have with our teenage children.If you're a mother with a teenager or simply curious about the changes that mothers go through as their children grow up, then you won't want to miss this episode.

This International Women's Day Lisa is celebrating by sharing a frank and honest discussion with two of her favourite people. Amy Taylor-Kabbaz and Samantha Sutherland are powerhouse women creating big waves in women's well-being circles. Amy is an Author and the founder of Mama Rising, the first Matrescence certification of its kind. She has broken new ground in our understanding and literacy of motherhood. Sam is a sought-after Facilitator and Speaker whose mission is to assist women to lead fulfilling and joyful lives. She works with corporations on removing work barriers and with individual women on the systematic barriers they face each and every day. In this conversation, you'll hear anger, rage, hope, laughter, optimism, and sisterhood. They discuss why they're angry about where women are at right now, why it's boring to still be angry about this stuff, and why there's so much to look forward to in the coming years. The system is rigged against women and when we are aware of that and can see ourselves as part of this rigged system - then we can create change. It's a juicy discussion.

It is so very powerful within the work that I do when women wake up and say, enough is enough. And Grace Gulley is certainly healing and using her voice to stand strong in her advocacy for mothers, mental health and fighting against the systems that oppress mothers and caregivers. Grace experienced a somewhat unexpected pregnancy, being let go from her job, and a pandemic thrown in. After suffering in silence with an undiagnosed (and ignored) perinatal mood anxiety disorder for the first year of new motherhood, she came across matrescence and importantly the https://amytaylorkabbaz.com/mama-rising/ (Mama Rising) book to encourage alongside. Listen to I chat with Grace in a touching and powerful conversation which includes: Postpartum rage, burnout, anxiety and emotional realities alongside the isolation of pandemic pregnancies and early motherhood. The rig system. Patriarchy, rules around motherhood, value from productivity and money and how it is designed to benefit those upholding the system - rarely supportive enough for current day mothers. Current challenges with the US system such as reproductive rights, maternity leave and childcare to name a few. The https://mamarising.net/mama-rising-waitlist (Mama Rising) program and how words create worlds. How it can be hard to articulate within motherhood and ask for support. Grace brings a certain essence which is incredibly powerful throughout this interview and I know this is what we need in the world right now to change the system of motherhood and support women and birthing parents differently. I invite you to follow Grace via her instagram https://www.instagram.com/gracegulley/ (@gracegulley), because this woman is making shifts for us all.

When we can be kinder to ourselves as mothers, we have a much nicer experience of motherhood. Sounds simple, right? There's a lot of talk around being a conscious mother and conscious motherhood, but what does it really mean? After the conversation with my guest, Cathy Spooner, today I think you'll be surprised to find its not what we are fed or led to believe. Listen to this delicious conversation as Amy and Cathy discuss: The beauty of imperfection where life gets real, what that looks like and what we can do to live alongside the messy beautiful. How different parts of our bodies are intertwined and sometimes the idea of ‘flicking a switch' actually can dismiss and stall us in our acceptance and progress within Matresence. When trying to accept the external, it has to start with accepting the internal because there are several different ways matresence affects us. Demonstrating how giving to yourself can also benefit others, especially our children. Often, as Mamas, we are all making a much bigger impact than we realise. If you would like to find out more about Cathy and how to discover and embrace your purpose alongside being a Mama please visit https://www.cathyspooner.com.au/ (https://www.cathyspooner.com.au/).

The Mama Rising Movement was born out of a desire to revolutionise the way motherhood is seen, valued and supported in this world because the world really needs mamas to rise. Since it's birth four years ago I have wanted to tell stories of matresence far and wide, wanted to see success for women and connect us throughout the world. Because, at the core, matresence is an acknowledgement that we are not machines. We don't just show up and do motherhood without a deep, significant and lifelong change. Afterall, we are divine complicated human beings who need to grow and grieve and figure it out together. I reflect today on what Mama Rising has evolved to. What she is destined to become. The lives she has impacted and the lives she will impact into the future. Listen as I touch on: The diversity, range and amazing community that has been built inside the Mama Rising space. Supporting, inspiring, seeing, valuing, cheerleading those who are out there supporting Mamas and creating a change. Rituals, powerful questions, guidance needed to arrive in our motherhood and how Mama Rising supports that. When we heal the mother, we heal the world. The Mama Rising approach to supporting mothers is unique: we guide them through the beauty and confusion of this discovery process and help them get to know themselves again - as a woman and as a mother. If you would also like a deeper understanding of matresence and how we support women differently, the Mama Rising facilitator training opens just once a year. You can find all the details at http://www.mamarising.net/open (www.mamarising.net/open). Be part of the much-needed and long over-due change.

It excites me continuously that more and more people are starting to talk within the matresence space and my guest today is no different. Kamya O'Keeffe is a senior facilitator of Rites of Passage programs and a mentor to women coaches and leaders. She creates safe held respectful individual and group circles and rites of passage programmes. Amy and Kamya explore what that means for matresence in this conversation, covering areas such as: How rites of passage are not just life altering and significant moments such has creating life and the birth of a baby. These moments need to be acknowledged, honoured alongside rituals and celebration. The community aspect of rites of passage and what that looks like within motherhood. Separation, transformation and integration within a rites of passage. The signs of a transition coming or transition needed and trusting the approach, even when we don't know exactly where we are going. This conversation is deep, rich and nourishing and paramount as we develop our own understanding of matresence and heal within.

One of my dear mentors, Jane Hedwick Collins often says that every pregnancy results in a birth and shows the mother, what she most needs to know for the next season of her life. Miscarriage and early pregnancy loss impacts us in ways which are definitely underacknowledged and we need to be having more conversations, such as this one, with my guest Katrina Thompson. Kat is a Mama of four:  two healthy Earthside children and two angels.  Her miscarriage experiences were traumatic and led to huge crackings open into a dark period of her life. Listen to this vulnerable conversation about: Fully experiencing, accepting and allowing permission for the fourth trimester of matresence, no matter when we give birth and what other trimesters we may, or may not, have experienced. Assumptions that birth, motherhood and pregnancy is something we 'should' just be able to do. The rush and pressure to try again after pregnancy loss, how that can impact the grief process. Questioning our body when it falls short and how connected we can feel to the tiny human growing inside (at all different stages of pregnancy). This conversation is raw, open and honest. Due to the sensitivity of this topic, please check in with yourself and seek help and support as necessary for your own matresence journey.

Matresence creates waves of change. Big, small, monumental and profoundly significant. Within this change, we also often have a strong desire to step into the next season of life. Because, matresence also creates dreams, desires, hopes and and yearning. Listen to this solo episode where Amy observes how matresence has taught her and thoughts surrounding: There is a part of us that is ready for more, while also wanting to enjoy every single part of motherhood as she evolves. The look of longing and how we can acknowledge the longing lovingly and with progress. The power of daily reminders, because it will come. Honouring our dreams, even if it is in the smallest of ways.

When I listened to the https://youtu.be/9YY0gVnVPoQ (TEDx talk) in preparation for this conversation, I was moved to tears because my guest, Jacqueline Kerr, really brings to light what Mum burnout looks like. And it has absolutely nothing to do with how much is on her to do list. Please note - there is discussion around suicidal ideation within this interview so please be mindful if this is right for you and check in with yourself, reaching out to others if required. Within this discussion, Amy and Jacqueline explore: Standing in the position of being triggered by several experiences and situations which lead us to feeling that we are not being able to show gratitude and thank others. How our body can tell us that we need a new life, do things differently and the serious consequences that can happen if we push it down considerably. The systematic, cultural, societal and individual change that needs to happen in how much we ask of mothers. The conditions of burnout - including lack of reward, injustice, value conflicts, autonomy to name a few. This episode reminds us that changes are going to need to come on all levels, from big cultural ones to small individual lenses.

I feel so privileged to be able to speak to so many women around the world about how we need to do matresence differently. Even when the conversation cannot provide ‘easy' answers. Even when we realise that, perhaps, the system is too broken. I already knew we need to honour the transition to motherhood and support women differently and this conversation only opened my eyes, yet again, to the requirements of midwifing ourselves and continuing to do it better. Listen as Amy and Rachelle talk about: Cultural understandings, immigrating as a new mother and finding yourself in a brand new surroundings when the veil lifts and how we can look around and realise how much we desire more. How our programming and conditioning can get potentised by the intensity of birth and how that can affect our birth experience. Tuning into how mothers really feel, because as mothers we carry life and we provide an important aspect for humanity's health. Taking responsibility and being in a good way with our power, in order to exalt and uplift others – especially within a healthcare practitioner environment. Rachelle embraces the original meaning of the word ‘midwife,' which is caretaker of the people's health from ‘womb to tomb' and has several ways to connect with her. She has a free ebook: The Five Cross-Cultural Prescriptions of Postpartum WELLNESS https://www.innatetraditions.com/download-free-ebook (https://www.innatetraditions.com/download-free-ebook) and a free class: Rites of Passage & The Postpartum Period https://www.innatetraditions.com/replay-free-class-rites-of-passage (https://www.innatetraditions.com/replay-free-class-rites-of-passage) If you would like a deeper understanding of matresence and how we support women differently, Mama Rising facilitator training opens just once a year.

When we become mothers, we go through a transition similar to adolescence called matrescence, which is the physical, emotional, hormonal and social transition of becoming a mother. A lot of us are juggling grief, joy, internal struggles, even sometimes anger as we reconnect with ourselves. And while this is all completely normal, it feels overwhelming, even impossible, to navigate at times.  In today's episode, I go really deep with Alison Ryan, a mentor to mothers as they navigate early motherhood and help them prioritize mental health and well-being. I have been looking forward to this episode for WEEKS, and am so excited for other moms to hear her story.  Perhaps we can ask ourselves the question Alison asked herself that made all the difference in her own matrescence:What if I put myself first?Resources & LinksYou can learn more about Alison and her mission to help mamas navigate early motherhood on her website, on Instagram, and Facebook, and for more information about matrecense, you can check out Mama Rising.If you're interested in working with Alison, join her in Reconnected, an 8 week group practice to help you reconnect with who you are as a mom and heal in your mind, body, and spirit.   Her next program starts this week, July 8th! Learn more about Project: Mom and follow us on Instagram at @projectmompodcast.Do you want to share your motherhood journey on the podcast?

This episode marks 200 episodes of the Happy Mama Movement Podcast. It has been such a journey and what an opportune moment to reflect on what I have learnt from the podcast, while also building an amazing movement of matresence. In this episode you can listen to Amy reflect on:     What success looks and feels like at different stages of motherhood and how sometimes we don't realise we're in the middle of the biggest growth of our lives. The universe is equal and balanced, and how that relates to the infinity sign. That Mamas have just as much wisdom to share alongside all the other podcasts and interviews over a long media career. The divine feminine way is to hold space and let it happen. We know what we're doing as Mamas and as women. Thank you from my heart to yours for being right here. For being a part of this world of change we are creating. I look forward to sharing my reflections on the 400th episode and sharing more beauty every step of the way.

One of my favourite parts of spreading matresence into the world is being able to talk to these Mamas a few years after we first connected and see the massive change and transformation in them, in their sense of self, their happiness within themselves. My guest today is no different. Gemma Mercer is a Mama Rising facilitator and shares her story of her own inner split and figuring out who she was without a corporate identity. Listen as Amy and Gemma discuss: When levels of stress and anxiety in our career can mean struggles with fertility and our entire wellbeing. How the transformation of matresence can begin the moment you contemplate motherhood. The intensity of motherhood alongside the pandemic and when we don't feel like we have as much to strive for as we did within our career. Making sure we are bringing some new parts back into our life from a place of rest and health first. The conversation with Gemma is inspiring because it demonstrates how much matresence came into her ear and finally gave words to exactly what she had been feeling. Like so many of us, once we dive into the understanding it is a powerful shift of acknowledge and recognition that will change the world. To connect further with Gemma you can visit her website www.gemmamercer.com or follow her on Instagram @gemma_mercer.

Every single time I have these conversations, I learn more and go deeper and my conversation with Jenna Ward did not disappoint. Jenna is a feminine embodiment for women and coaches who value sensitivity and sensation, and this exchange is practical and profoundly inspiration. Listen as we discuss: Catching up with ourselves, our emotional energy and all of the data and unexpressed life force that can become frozen. Happy Instagram snaps and the obsession we can fall into for the bright, shiny, peak beautiful experiences – understanding that there is beauty of all shades in all seasons. How we try to put an ocean in a bucket and the representation of how we try to compress our emotions and were we can find safety instead. Learning about failing better at life and being okay with failing harder, better, and losing all the fluff. This conversation absolutely lit me up and I hope it does exactly the same for you. It constantly surprises me how much more there is for us to understand around this. To find out more about Jenna I encourage you to visit her website https://jennaward.co/ (https://jennaward.co/).

The topic of breastfeeding is often a controversial one, with it recently becoming a hot topic, again. It is such an intense topic, full of emotions and personal moments of healing. Erin Bailey is a Holistic Nutritionist, Naturopath, breastfeeding advocate and counsellor. What this conversation is really about, is how there is still an immense amount of work to do to support the mother, the emotive side, the pride and connection to her body and her intuition - no matter what the experience of breastfeeding has been or is right now. Listen as Erin and Amy disucss: Challenges within the medical model and how well meaning approaches can fail to acknowledge and support the mother, at many different stages of the breastfeeding journey. The mechanics of nipple to mouth and consumption of milk as an 'end result' and driver of success. How to respect, listen, help, encourage and support in whatever ways you can. The healing that can be required to continue for years, even decades, after a traumatic feeding journey. The way we start, is the way we continue. And if we start by feeling like we're not supported, we're not heard we're doing something wrong, then we carry that with us.

Amy contemplates how her experience of matresence has not always felt equal and balanced. There have been times throughout where it has felt okay and other times it has not. Motherhood can squish you and you hit the maternal wall, it demands all and more of us. And therefore, other parts of us are unable to flourish. Listen as Amy explores:   How easy it is for us to loose ourselves in the role of Mama, especially as the role of mother stretches into every corner of our world. What we need as Mama's – dreams, desires and the need for space.       The dance between being the Mama we long to be and the Mama we can actually be And most importantly, acknowledging and reclaiming ourselves as a woman too.

This episode is all about the transition from woman to mother. From maiden to matriarch. Ultimately being defined as Matrescence. It's a topic that is not widely known, yet it should be, and this conversation is in service of that. Those early years of motherhood are often experienced in silence and leave women feeling as though the things they're experiencing are meant to be dealt with alone, or that they aren't doing a good enough job, or experiencing perhaps things that are considered 'normal' and actually shouldn't be. That's what this episode is in service of. The mother, making space for her to feel understood as she moves through this epic transition. Please enjoy this amazing and deeply comforting breakdown of Matrescence with our guest Amy Taylor-Kabbaz. Amy is a Best-Selling Author, Speaker, Journalist, Matrescence Activist and Mama of three. She is the author of Mama Rising, the host of the ‘The Happy Mama Movement' podcast and creator of the #1 iTunes meditations for children with more than 12 million downloads - ‘Bedtime Explorers'. In 2019, she launched her world first Matrescence Facilitator Training - Mama Rising - sharing her unique formula of coaching and support into mother's transition through matrescence.

Ever since learning about matresence and the transformations it can bring, I really knew that this had the potential to resonate with Mamas all over the world. No matter what their experience has been. Yet, several thoughts rose alongside the potential matresence holds. What about cultural differences, language differences, religious differences? In getting closer to answering those very questions, I was honoured to meet Hend ElQady who reminded me of the potential that matresence has, while also reminding us of how common our struggles really are. Hend ElQady has joined me alongside my programs, taking in every breath and capturing the very essence of standing in your power and growing into the possibilities of the future. Listen as Amy and Hend discuss:   Expectations around being a good mother and the role of sacrifice within her culture which is seen as entirely ‘normal' and necessary.      The inner split and two versions of ourselves which challenge and can build immensely.       Being graceful and getting through challenging times bit by bit. The motherboard of motherhood which taps buttons that were never pressed before. You can find out more about Hend via her Instagram at @themumvillage and find your own Mama Rising facilitator at mamarising.net. There needs to be a change in the way mothers are valued and seen in our society. We are here to spread the whispers of Matrescence together.

It blows my mind that I get to work with women like Dusk. That Dusk has been trained in the Mama Rising formula and is now a facilitator teaching others about matresence. As you can hear from this deep, moving and sincere conversation, Dusk brings a wisdom, knowledge and grace to all that surround her. Listen as Amy and Dusk hold space for each other, and an entire network of Mamas who listen, including: honouring the incredible giving that comes alongside birth and matresence when its hard to be present with silence and how much gentleness it can require how the feeling of not being able to get up, at different points in your motherhood journey, needs to be looked at differently, without shame how 'it' is not wrong anymore, it is as it is. This conversation will move you, stay with you after the conversation has ended. Dusk Liney is a listener and space holder, who lives, works and mothers on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Land. Dusk has two businesses: The Listening Squad (with her biz partner Jo) and The Listening Mama. Dusk is a contemplative circle holder, birth doula, spiritual companion and matrescence facilitator. Weaving this all together, Dusk meets people in the midst of their life and listens to their story. She invites people to encounter their inner wisdom and live from that place into their lives, work or birth. The way Dusk holds space is informed by community development, the contemplative movement, birth and motherhood studies, as well as the therapeutic tool of spiritual companionship. Dusk believes in the power of bearing witness to someones' story because every person is of value and needs to be heard.

Matrescence - Have you heard of it? If you're a mother - you may never have heard the phrase but you have lived it. “Matrescence is the physical, emotional, hormonal and social transition to becoming a mother” Join us today as we kick off our Mini Series hearing from our amazing guest, Jodie Garth, on what Matrescence is, how understanding of this transition has transformed her life and what she wishes everyone knew about this journey of becoming a mother. We think this is such an important conversation- and we'd love you to share this with any to-be-mothers, already-mothers, people-supporting-mothers, or general-population-that-benefits-from-deeper-understanding! ☺️ The top resource Jodie mentions in this episode is the work of AMY TAYLOR-KABBAZ her book- MAMA RISING & her podcast - HAPPY MAMA MOVEMENT

You are about to meet one of my favourite people, Gladys Kangau. She was the successful recipient of Mama Rising scholarship and you will hear why spread throughout this conversation. Gladys is changing the world and reminds me every single day of what is possible in this world. We touch on: the misalignment of postpartum depression and matresence in the 4th trimester, when we know deep down it's something more than just the label society gives it. how being the backbone of the family can sacrifice and undervalue mothers. how villages are changing within African communities and the huge responsibilities that come alongside that. the need to belong, self-care and feel at home, no matter where we are in the world. and much, much more. I would love you to join me and show your support for Gladys by following her on Instagram motherhood_unscripted https://www.instagram.com/motherhood_unscripted/ You can also find out more about the forgotten transition (as mentioned at the end of this episode) via my website https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/forgotten-transition/ We can change the way mothers are valued and seen in our society by having profound conversations and spreading the whispers of Matrescence together. Thank you so much for listening.

I am loving all of the inspiring women that I have had the honour of interviewing over the last few weeks! If you have missed any of our recent episodes make sure you check them out. This week on the podcast I am speaking with the wonderful Amy Taylor-Kabbaz about Matresence and the journey she has been on over the last decade, to answer the question, ‘What happens to a woman when she becomes a mother?' .In this interview Amy shares her story of going from a driven, ambitious successful woman to transitioning into motherhood and how she now realises that every element of herself changed during that transition. In this episode Amy talks about:> What matrescence is and what we can do to support the transition into motherhood for ourselves and the women around us. > The comparison of matresence to adolescence and how we need more conversation, compassion and support around matrescence just like we have around adolescence> How matrescence is an ongoing process, so no matter how old your children are or where you are in the motherhood journey this transition is an ongoing process and we need to acknowledge the grief, loss and sadness to be able to step into our best selves as mothers. > The competing devotions and how society really is not set up for us to be the best mothers and have the best careers we can have at the same time. We discuss how we are always making sacrifices in one area which is why it feels like such a juggle  leading us to feel like constant failures and how we can overcome this. > Her practical tips on honouring ourselves through this motherhood journey and the importance of giving ourselves space to explore this transition.It was so lovely to speak with Amy and I hope that you have as many a-ha moments as I did! Enjoy and share with your network of mama's, we all need this information! Episode Links:Amy's Website - https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/Mama Rising book - https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/mama-rising/Happy Mama Mindful Meditations - https://www.amytaylorkabbaz.com/resources/

We know how to hustle - we've been doing it most of our lives.We've been taught to push through, suck it up, keep on going. And so we have.We've also seen ourselves do it in motherhood - showing up on little sleep, getting up for the seventeenth time that night, getting through the day on coffee and hope.In my teachings, I call this the 'grit' - the resilience, courage and determination it takes to keep on going when it feels almost impossible.Our world celebrates the 'grit'. We are praised for our strength in the face of adversity, our hustle, our Super Woman status.But living in an endless state of grit is not possible - or healthy. And what does that look like?Grace.In this episode, I reflect on grit and grace, and what I've had to learn about both over the past 12 months. And just how hard it is for us, as women and as mothers, to let go of our attachment to the hustle.

Motherhood can really bring out your Inner Mean Mum. Those phrases like “you’re not good enough. You’re not doing enough”. With the help of Amy Taylor Kabbaz we’re going yo work on replacing that inner mean voice with one of compassion.

Why is it that we as mamas and women struggle to ask for - and receive - help?Even if we have a wonderful partner, and a supportive community around us, many of us find it hard to share the load of motherhood.Why?Yes, it can sometimes be because underneath, we feel we should be doing it on our own.And yes, it can sometimes be because we fear the judgement of asking for help.But there's something else there too, mama.And when we understand that matrescence is the massive transformation of Who We Think We Are, it begins to make sense that our struggles with receiving help is a lot deeper than we think.You can find out more about matrescence, and take the first steps to understanding how you are transforming as a woman, in my short course - The Birth of You.
