I don’t actually want to be an influencer, I want to be a therapist. But if I could influence anything it would be this. I want to influence you to know that losing yourself in motherhood has a name and it is not weakness. I want to influence you to stop pretending you are fine when you are drowning. I want to influence you to understand that postnatal depression and OCD do not make you a bad mum. I want to influence you to know that a difficult pregnancy does not mean you have to suffer alone. I want to influence you to grieve who you were before motherhood without guilt and discover who you are becoming. This is matrescence and as a therapist who has lived every single bit of this, I promise you that you do not have to navigate it alone. My link is in my bio for a free 20 minute call 💛

Nobody told you that becoming a mother would shake you to your core.That’s not because it doesn’t happen.
It’s because we’ve never had the language for it.
Matrescence -the transition into motherhood -affects you on three levels at once. Your biology. Your psychology. Your entire world.And when nobody shows you the full picture, you do what most mothers do.You blame yourself.
This ends now.

Save this post and share it with every mother who needs to know, you are not failing at motherhood. You were just never shown the map.

The Three Layers of Matrescence — now you know they exist.

People often judge what they don’t understand especially when it comes to pregnancy anxiety and postpartum mental health what looks like overreacting being stuck or too sensitive is often a nervous system that has been overwhelmed for too long or an experience that was never properly acknowledged or processed as a maternal mental health therapist I don’t see problems I see protection I see patterns I see women doing the best they can with what they’ve been through if something still feels heavy even years later that doesn’t mean there is something wrong with you it means it was never fully held or supported and you deserve a space where that can happen when you’re ready

You’ve probably told yourself at some point “this is just part of being a mum.” That the constant edge in your body, the racing thoughts, the feeling of never quite switching off is just what motherhood is. And on some level that belief makes sense, because everyone around you normalises it. But over time, that doesn’t just stay as a passing phase. It becomes your baseline. You start to live in survival mode, carrying the weight of responsibility on your own, slowly losing touch with who you were before everything changed.
This is the part of matrescence that doesn’t get spoken about enough. Not the obvious struggles, but the quiet normalisation of feeling overwhelmed, hyper alert, and disconnected from yourself. When it goes unspoken, it turns into something much bigger than a few hard days or broken nights. It shapes how you experience motherhood and how you experience yourself within it.
You don’t have to stay there. Support can help you understand what’s happening in your mind and body, and gently bring you back to a place where you feel more like yourself again.
If this resonates, you’re not meant to carry it alone. Reach out and let’s talk.
