Working Mumma · Why Don't I Feel Like Me Anymore? Matrescence, Identity & Returning to Work with Amanda Jackson · 26 May 2026 podcast

Welcome to the Working Mama Podcast, the show where we have the honest, unfiltered conversations about navigating work, motherhood, identity, and everything in between. voice-verified

Have you ever returned from parental leave and thought, Who am I anymore? voice-verified

Have you found yourself standing in your old office, sitting in your old role, but feeling like a completely different person wearing someone else's clothes? voice-verified

That sense of disorientation, that identity shift, that quiet grief of who you were before. voice-verified

You know what? voice-verified

It has a name. voice-verified

And once you know that name, everything else makes sense. voice-verified

Trust me, when I first heard this word, it was like a light bulb that went off. voice-verified

It was amazing. voice-verified

And today on the podcast, I'm joined by Amanda Jackson, the founder of Motherhood and Matrescence, author of the book by the same name, Mum of Three Boys, and someone who has dedicated her career to helping women understand and navigate the profound transformation of becoming a mum. voice-verified

Today we are deep diving into matrescence. voice-verified

Yes, this is the word. voice-verified

The process of becoming a mum. voice-verified

We're talking about the identity shift that hits you when you return to work, the invisible loads that we're all carrying, what actually happens to your brain. voice-verified

Spoiler, it's not a deficit, it's instead an upgrade. voice-verified

And the practical steps that you can take to come back to yourself. voice-verified

With your voice-verified

you're currently on parental leave, freshly back at work, or a few years in and still wondering when you're going to feel like your old self again, this conversation is for you. voice-verified
