Ep.01: What is Matrescence (and Why Does it Matter)?

In this first episode of Matrescence and Honey, postpartum doula Jess unpacks the meaning of matrescence—the emotional, hormonal, and spiritual transformation that occurs when someone becomes a mother. Often compared to adolescence, matrescence is a sacred, often overlooked transition that impacts identity, relationships, and mental health. Jess explores why naming this process matters, how it shows up in real life, and why no one should walk through it alone. This is where your village begins.
