Seasons of Matrescence - The Podcast
Becoming a mother leaves no woman as it found her, it unravels and rebuilds her, it cracks her open, takes her to her edges, it’s both beautiful and brutal often at the same time.
This transformation has a name; matrescence. The monumental shift a woman experiences through becoming and being a mother. Like adolescence, matrescence is a time of radical transformation; physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. However unlike adolescence, matrescence remains largely unacknowledged in mainstream culture. And it’s time for that to change.
Welcome to Seasons of Matrescence - The Podcast, where we explore the changing seasons of becoming, and being a mother.
I’m your guide, Nikki McCahon, mother, matrescence educator and womens life cycle guide. Let’s explore the transformative potential of matrescence and change the conversation about motherhood, together.

'Mum Brain' - how your brain changes through pregnancy and parenting with Dr Jodi Pawluski
In this episode I speak with Jodi Pawluski, a neuroscientist, psychotherapist and mother of 2.
For more than 15 years, her research has focused on the neuroscience of motherhood and the effects of maternal mental illness and antidepressant medications on mother and offspring. She regularly speaks nationally and internationally about her research findings as well as the fascinating effects of motherhood on the brain.
Dr Pawluski is passionate about increasing our understanding of the amazing things our brains do when we parent. You can find her talking more about this with other leading researchers in the field on her podcast Mommy Brain Revisited.
In this episode we explore the way our brains are changed and shaped through pregnancy and parenting. I find this topic incredibly fascinating, and I hope that you enjoy it too!
