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.

Mini ep: Stability vs. control
In this mini episode I wanted to share with you a common challenge we can experience through Motherhood that centres around control.
Pre-children we may have been used to having control over our daily schedule, personal space, homes, even noise level.
When we become mothers our days can feel like they are ruled by nap times, teething, leaps and the unpredictable moods of a tiny human. You can feel like things are out of our control. You might see this manifest when you had plans for the day to see your friend, and suddenly your little one isn't well. Or maybe you wanted to get something done today, but your little one is cranky and making it impossible to do anything other than mumming.
I offer a reframe from control to stability, and provide some tips on how you can create stability into daily life using rituals... this is a really healthy way that we can give ourselves a sense of more control.
Listen as I ask you some simple questions to answer for yourself so you too can start to regain a sense of stability and anchoring in your life.
