I had the pleasure of being in circle with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli PhD ADHD at Earth Daughters Festival 🕯️ 🌀 this year and she said something that stopped me in my tracks and lit a fire under me:

“Perimenopause is an opportunity to re-in-f**king-vent yourself.”

(F-bomb not mine, but very welcome)

🌀 I feel the same way about matrescence. It’s a time that’s challenging, yes, but also? It’s a rite of passage. It will make you, even as it threatens to break you.

🐚 Who are you becoming in this rite of passage?

Are you among the many mothers who are traversing both perimenopause and matrescence at the same time? Going through two rites of passage simultaneously is no joke, and it’s happening for more and more mothers. The worst part? Many of them don’t realize that’s what’s happening, and so many of them blame themselves for how challenging it can feel.

🙋‍♀️ If this is you right now 💙

🔗 Also, if this resonates, you’re not going to want to miss the latest episode of The Becoming Podcast with the amazing Jane Hardwicke Collings, where we dive into what happens during the intersection between perimenopause and matrescence, and how to support yourself through this time (link’s in my bio!)

🎙️ Beloved listeners! The Becoming Podcast is back - and with an incredible conversation with Jane Hardwicke Collings about the intersection between perimenopause and matrescence.

Going through two rites of passage simultaneously is no joke, and it’s happening for more and more mothers. The worst part? Many of them don’t realize that’s what’s happening, and so many of them blame themselves for how challenging it can feel.

🌀 Here’s some of what Jane and I talk about in this episode:

✔️ The definition of “womb-to-tomb” midwifery, and its role in supporting women through the transition to motherhood and the transition out of their fertile years.

✔️ The way all our “portals of power,” as Jane calls them (including menarche, childbirth, and menopause) have been “pathologized, medicalized, weaponized against us and monetized.”

✔️ Why cycle awareness is so important, and how it holds the key to so much of what we need to know about both matrescence and perimenopause (hint: there are times in our lives when our bodies beg us to slow down, and we’ll reap the consequences of not heeding that call).

✔️ What’s happening, physiologically, in our bodies when matrescence and perimenopause overlap. Jane makes all of the complex experiences and emotions and physical changes we have during these simultaneous rites of passage make sense!

✔️ Practical, doable steps new mothers who are also in perimenopause can take to support themselves. Jane’s wisdom here is absolute gold.

🎙️ This episode is a must-listen! Head over to my bio for the link to tune in, or download it wherever you get your podcasts.
