EPISODE 4: Let's Talk Matrescence

In this episode of The Collective Couch, Allie and Emily talk about "matrescence" and the ups and downs (and in-betweens) of becoming a mother.
Seeking support is essential. We normalize the unglamorous and "messy middle" of motherhood and encourage people to honor their feelings, including grief. We note that screening tools after birth only scratch the surface, and if you feel overwhelmed, reaching out for help is worthwhile.
We recommend building a village and utilizing resources like Cincy Postpartum and Cincinnati Renewed Wellness to connect with community and therapists. We also stress the importance of setting boundaries, taking care of yourself, and advocating for your needs. Motherhood can be an exciting opportunity for growth and flourishing when proper support is in place. We invite you to contact us if you need help, and we will assist you in finding the right support.
