I share some updates and some talks I'm giving soon, along with the recording I took of when I was practicing my talk for the Matrescence Festival, organised by Claire Tonti and Lizzy Humber. In the talk I share about where the ‘perfect mother myth' often starts in our own lives, what it is, how it connects to the broader ‘tank' of motherhood that we're all ‘swimming' around in, and how mothering can be a catalyst for our own growth and development.

Hands up if you feel guilty for being excited about your business. For working on the weekend, or taking a shorter maternity leave, or taking on that extra project and being less present in your home. For daring to build something for you- and not making absolutely EVERYTHING be about your kids. Juggling a growing business alongside the heavy load of motherhood is a LOT. Trying to stay on top of all of the things is a LOT. And constantly comparing ourselves- to those around us, to the stereotypical mums we see on tv, to the "perfect" lives we are shown on instagram? It feeds that guilt until you end up feeling like you've failed at everything. The thing is, no one has this figured out. No one is doing it perfectly. And EVERYONE deals with the guilt of trying to balance these two very important aspects of their lives. If you are keeping your small humans happy and your business afloat- that is enough. You are doing enough. And alongside all of those added obstacels and challenges of running a business? There are a lot of benefits too. Not just for you, but for your children.This epsiode is all about highlighting the ways in which being an entrepreneur enriches your children's lives, your family's lifestyle, and the community around you. It celebrates the hardships of entrepreneurship and motherhood, gives you the great big pat on the back you deserve (and need to hear!) and shares the three best things about running a business while raising tiny humans. This is a short and sweet solo episode and I hope you'll find it helpful, relatable and a little bit inspirational too.  Thanks for joining the conversation!   Don't forget to like/follow the podcast to stay up to date on new episodes, and if you like what you hear please give us a share!Connect with me: Rhiannon LoudenInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rhiannonlouden.co.uk & https://www.instagram.com/rhiannonealeWebsite: https://www.rhiannonlouden.co.ukSubstack: https://theraremumchronicles.substack.com/ Podcast instagram: https://www.instagram.com/courageandchaospodIntro/Outro music credit: https://www.purple-planet.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/courage-chaos--4358445/support.

Dans le cadre du podcasthon qui se déroule du 15 au 21 mars 2025, nous avons choisis de mettre en avant l'ONG Make Mothers Matter et nous en sommes très fiers chez la Matrescence !Aujourd'hui, on parle d'un sujet essentiel, mais encore trop souvent invisible : la reconnaissance du travail des mères dans notre société. Derrière ce travail quotidien, souvent non rémunéré et pourtant fondamental, se cachent des enjeux de justice sociale, d'égalité et même de politique publique.Mon invitée du jour, Afaf Abou nouadar, est la numéro 2 de Make Mothers Matter, une ONG internationale qui milite depuis 1947 pour faire entendre la voix des mères auprès des plus hautes instances, comme l'ONU et l'Union Européenne. Dans cet épisode, elle nous explique pourquoi il est urgent de reconnaître la valeur du travail des mères, comment la pandémie a aggravé les inégalités, notamment en matière de santé mentale et d'emploi, et pourquoi l'engagement des pères est un levier essentiel pour faire évoluer la situation. On parle aussi des actions concrètes menées par Make Mothers Matter pour faire bouger les lignes, de la nécessité d'adapter le monde du travail aux réalités des parents, et de ce que chacune et chacun d'entre nous peut faire pour soutenir ce combat.Pour faire un don, c'est par ici.

What do you know about matrescence? Most people will agree that everything changes with parenthood, and that's what this term covers: the process of becoming a mother. Yet, despite shared private understanding and a large body of recent research on all the physiological and mental effects, many policies and medical processes continue to ignore what mothers have always known.Lucy Jones is a journalist and the author of Matrescene: On The Metamorphosis of Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood. In this episode, we delve into what's lacking in support for matrescence and why, and how ongoing research, policy changes, and sharing information through resources like Lucy's book can help change the conversation. Whether you're already a mother, are considering becoming one, or support one in any way, Lucy's insights will be enlightening and empowering.Discover the details of matrescence and why we need to talk more about it:The origins and importance of having a word for this universal, natural experience;The impact of not having enough information in the early months and years of parenthood;The permanent changes the brain goes through during this period;The social disconnect between the expectation to give birth and the lack of support.Related Links:Matrescence: On Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood by Lucy Jones - https://bookshop.org/p/books/matrescence-on-the-mind-body-spirit-transformations-of-pregnancy-childbirth-and-motherhood-lucy-jones/20398692Lucy's website - https://lucyfjones.com/Discover all of Lucy's books: https://lucyfjones.com/books/Lucy on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lucyfjones/Episode 333, An Honest Look Into Motherhood and Health - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode333Episode 488, Talking Menopause at Work - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode488Pregnancy leads to long-lasting changes in human brain structure, Nature Neuroscience - https://www.nature.com/articles/nn.4458The Birth Of A Mother by Alexandra Sacks - https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/08/well/family/the-birth-of-a-mother.htmlOf Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution by Adrienne Rich - https://bookshop.org/p/books/of-woman-born-motherhood-as-experience-and-institution-adrienne-rich/8794956?ean=9780393541427LEVEL UP: a Leadership Accelerator for Women on the Rise - https://www.bossedup.org/levelupBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

When journalist Lucy Jones had her first baby, she noticed remarkable changes taking place - not only was her body changing, but so too was her own psychology. By her third child, Lucy went searching for answers to her questions. What she discovered was "matrescence," a term coined by psychiatrist Alexandra Sacks that put into words the enormity of her own transformation. So she wrote a book about it, titled Matrescence: On the Metamorphosis of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Motherhood. In this moving interview, hear Ricki in conversation with Lucy, discussing the spectacular, life-changing shift that takes place for women during motherhood. You can follow Lucy Jones on Instagram @lucyfjones. You can buy her book, Matrescence: on Pregnancy, Childhood and Mothering, at a book store near you or here.

In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Baron, a maternal mental health psychotherapist, to discuss all things matrescence: the physical and psychological changes that come from being a mother.

In this episode with leadership facilitator and founder of Matermorphosis, Babette Lockefeer, we explore the powerful intersection of motherhood and leadership. Drawing from her experience in corporate leadership development and as a mother of three young boys, Babette shares her journey of discovering how matrescence mirrors the path of authentic leadership. The conversation explores how the changes that come with becoming a mother can create unique opportunities for growth and learning, and we discuss the importance of reclaiming our role as mothers as an asset rather than a liability in professional spaces.

Ever wondered how motherhood can transform not just your life, but your entire sense of identity? Author and former doula Jessi Harold joins us to explore the profound journey into matrescence—a term that captures the sweeping changes women navigate as they embrace motherhood. Jessie draws from her own experiences to share the emotional challenges and societal pressures that accompany this transition. Together, we shed light on the importance of open discussions about these shifts, enabling women to recognize and embrace their evolving identities.We also dive into the often-ambivalent feelings surrounding the decision to start a family, even for those with a background in childbirth. The conversation tackles societal narratives that either glorify or challenge motherhood, stressing the need to acknowledge this duality. Through Jessi's candid insights, we highlight how embracing both the joys and struggles of motherhood fosters maturity and wisdom, preparing women for leadership roles in an increasingly complex world. Our aim is to normalize mixed emotions and reduce the stigma around them, encouraging a more nuanced conversation about the realities of motherhood.Her book, "Mothershift," offers a guide to navigating these changes, and we celebrate the magic of motherhood's journey. Join us for an enriching exchange that promises to leave you feeling inspired and more confident in your own unique path.Connect with Jessi:Website:  www.jessieharrold.comIG: @jessie.es.harroldThank you for listening to Self(ish) Confidence!

Matrescence is defined as the process of becoming a mother, however this is a term that hardly anyone has ever heard of; even women who have recently become mothers. Holly, mother of two, women's circle leader, and former ICU nurse reflects on the experiences that led to her deep appreciation for and curiosity of matrescence. Our fast-paced, modern, industrial, Western culture tells us to snap back just weeks after giving birth, however brain scans will tell us this is actually physically impossible to do. Everyone knows what to expect during puberty when a girl morphs into a woman, however nobody talks about what to expect during the next major transition from maiden to mother or even the final major shift from motherhood to perimenopause and finally menopause.Resources Mentioned:Matrescence–birth of the mother by Dr. Alexandra Sacks Anthropologist Dana Raphael in her book Being Female: Reproduction, Power and ChangeSupport the showJOIN OUR NEW, PRIVATE COMMUNITY!

In the previous episode of body image in Matrescence, we spoke about the changes our bodies go though, and also our own perception of ourselves. And yet in Matrescence our own minds shift so much, and our confidence can take a knock as we navigatenour way in this new phase of our lives. Which brings us to how can we give ourselves a helping hand with one part of this jigsaw? Bekah joins us today to discuss how colours play an important element in how we see ourselves in the mirror as we put on our clothes each day.

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

What do we do when we're experiencing significant changes physically, emotionally and spiritually in the years running up to menopause, all we want to do is run far, far away, but we still have kids at home who need our care and support?This question is coming up a lot in our community and that's why I'm so grateful to be talking with Matrescence expert, journalist and coach, Amy Taylor Kabbaz, who also happens to be smack in the middle of perimenopause, with three children at home. Over the past decade, Amy has interviewed hundreds of authors, maternal health experts, and teachers, trying to decipher why so many mothers feel burnt out, overwhelmed, and addicted to being busy. Over the past year she's been exploring how we can support ourselves through the huge transition of perimenopause, and she shares the fruits with us today.  We explore:How the ‘fork in the road' of perimenopause is helping Amy to change deep patterns, including shifting her old go-to approach of “give me the pill, I've got sh*t to do”.Perimenopause as a kind of ‘pregnancy' which prepares us for the rebirth of ourselves through the spiritual initiation of menopause. How to manage perimenopause symptoms  including exhaustion, irritability and anger, brain fog and the often overwhelming ‘motherload' of care and responsibility, and still show up for our kids.---Find out more about the Red School Menstruality Leadership programme: www.menstrualityleadership.com---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Hello beautiful ones! I've somehow taken a bit of an unexpected hiatus from the podcast lately, but I'm really, really delighted to share a new episode with you today.  It's a super fun and beautiful conversation between three friends – myself, Mara Glatzel and Becca Piastrelli.  In this episode, we're turning the tables and Mara and Becca are interviewing ME about the launch of my upcoming book, Mothershift:  Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage. If you aren't familiar with Mara and Becca, let me tell you a little bit about them first! Mara Glatzel is a coach, podcast host and author of the book Needy:  How to advocate for your needs and claim your sovereignty and Becca Piastrelli is a community gatherer and women's circle facilitator, podcast host and author of the book Root and Ritual:  Timeless ways to connect with land, lineage, community and the self.  These two are friends with each other and they've been my friends for quite a number of years now, and they have been *tireless* champions for Mothershift and my work.  Becca is also an alumni of my MotherSHIFT program.  They both played a key role in my ability to get a book deal for Mothershift, and for that I will be endlessly grateful. In this episode, Mara and Becca and I talk about: > Why I wrote Mothershift and why this book is so important right now.  You'll hear me talk about how I feel like I'm this book's doula, and how easy it's been to share the messages that it holds. > Why "the mothers aren't all right," including my perspective on the US Surgeon General's advisory on the mental health of parents.  We talk about the modern conditions that are particularly challenging for mothers as well as parts of the rite of passage into motherhood that have been difficult – but also filled with potential – since time immemorial. > Our relationship with social media, about how it has become a surrogate for the witnessing we need as we step into motherhood, and whether or not we're actually ever seeing the *real* truth about anyone's experience of mothering. > Is postpartum forever?  We speculate how many years it takes to feel fully embodied in your experience of motherhood. > The role of ritual in supporting and uplifting our matrescence experiences. I do hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we loved recording it, and that it gives you a special sneak peek into the writing of Mothershift.

Un grand merci aux participant•es, à l'Oasis de l'Aubre (Emmeline et Alexis) et surtout à Morgane pour avoir organiser cette retraite.Début octobre je me suis retrouvée à emmener avec moi 18 participantes mères et père au milieu des gorges de l'Auvézère, en Dordogne pour 4 jours de retraite dédiée aux parents. On aurait pu considérer ça comme un mastermind pour les parents, puisque la moitié du groupe participe déjà aux cercles que je propose une fois par mois sur patreon. Sur le chemin pour aller à la retraite au domaine de l'Oasis de l'Aube, je me suis faite la réflexion que ça faisait très très longtemps que je n'avais pas entrepris quelque chose pour la première fois, professionnellement parlant.Du coup, petite pression, pour moi.Elle s'est vite dissipée parce que le lieu je le connais très bien.J'y suis allée en 2019 et en 2021 pour suivre des formations de yoga. Et c'était fantastique.J'avais organisé cette retraite sous la forme de 5 piliers, et je vous les partage ici !Pour s'inscrire à Patreon Lieu : Oasis de l'Aube
