The brain changes.

And that's something that often just gets referred to as like baby brain or mommy brain.

And it gets this bad rap of just making mom spacey and forgetful.

But it's actually very purposeful.

The changes that happen in the brain make us more capable of reading nonverbal cues, more empathetic, more able to multitask, more tolerant of monotony, and more ambitious, which are hugely important when you're caring for a tiny human.

Yeah, yeah.

And it's not just hormones.

They do play a big role.

But I think one of the ways that I help women understand that is by giving them language.

So there's a word that describes all of these changes, and that is matrescence.

Okay.

So, matrescence, like adolescence, is a time of great change and neuroplasticity and changing of roles, changing of expectations, changing of your body, changing of your hormones, right?

So, that's a word that most people don't know.

I just learned it like seven years ago.

And I've been a midwife for 30 years.

So, yeah.

I think when we can give language to a process, then we are much more capable of supporting that process and understanding that process.
