Summer Series 4: Reclaiming your sense of self after motherhood

Today I'm sharing the final episode in my 2024 Summer Series - some of my most popular Psych for Life episodes. I hope you enjoy it as much as my other listeners have.There is a lot of focus on the joy and gains of motherhood – however, with all the focus on what a woman gains when baby arrives, it’s easy to forget what they may lose – in particular the loss of a sense of self. The focus often stays on the baby rather than the woman and how to care for her after baby and her developmental issues.So in this episode you'll learn about:· Matrescence - what it is and how this transition and journey impacts mothers · How women can lose their sense of self in the process of becoming a mother· Ways to reclaim your sense of self and manage the transitionIf you enjoy listening to this podcast, please rate, review and subscribe on Apple, Spotify or wherever you're listening now.Is there a pressing issue or topic you'd like me to discuss?
