Motherhood & Matrescence: The truths we were never told - Paperback

by Amanda Jackson (Author)

You haven't failed - society has failed mothers.

Discover the truths about becoming a mother that no one talks about - the truths that can leave you feeling invisible, inadequate, or like you've lost yourself.

This compassionate and eye-opening guide reframes mothering as a powerful, transformative experience. With clarity and warmth, it explores the concept of matrescence - the physical, emotional, and spiritual metamorphosis that occurs when a woman becomes a mother - and the societal silence that surrounds it.

Inside these pages, you'll uncover:

• How unrealistic expectations sever the sacred mother-child bond
• Why maternal guilt and burnout are so common - and what we can do about it
• How matrescence offers an invitation to reinvent yourself on your own terms

You'll also learn to reconnect with your body in empowering ways, explore your maternal lineage, and consciously shape the legacy you'll pass on to your children.

It doesn't matter how old you are or how old your children are - you deserve to understand the invisible loads you carry and the systems that shaped your experience. You deserve to reclaim motherhood, and yourself.
