Matrescence — the becoming of a mother.
This season of life is powerful, raw, and transformative. It’s more than sleepless nights and endless to-do lists — it’s a rebirth of you. As your baby grows, so do you. You’re learning, stretching, and evolving in ways that can feel both beautiful and overwhelming.
It’s okay to grieve the version of yourself that existed before motherhood. It’s okay to feel uncertain, exhausted, or even lost. These emotions don’t make you weak — they make you human. They’re part of the incredible process of becoming.
Remember: you are not alone in this. Lean on your village — your friends, family, partner, or community. Ask for help, accept it, and know that seeking support is a sign of strength, not surrender.
Matrescence is not about perfection; it’s about growth, resilience, and love — for your child, and for yourself. You are doing something extraordinary. Honor your journey, trust your transformation, and know that you are becoming exactly who you’re meant to be.
You are powerful. You are capable. You are enough.
