This guide dives into matrescence, the incredible, life-changing process of becoming a mother, first named by anthropologist Dana Raphael. Just like adolescence, matrescence is a period of profound transformation, touching every part of your life: physical, emotional, spiritual and social. Yet, despite its immense impact, this journey often goes unnoticed, largely unrecognized and unspoken in today's world.

This book shines a light on the beauty and challenges of matrescence, offering the validation every mother deserves. It's a call to recognize this transformative phase, so mothers everywhere can feel seen, supported, and empowered as they navigate the complexities of their new identity.
