It's an earthquake and no one else can feel it.
It is even more of a mic drop for people when I tell them, you're going to go through this again with every kid.
Mattressence is not just a once-off journey.
You go through it with every child.
You get brain development, brain changes, synaptic pruning, that social rewiring, that identity shift.
It all happens again.
Every single, you know, every single child.
Oh, everyone asks me that question.
Does it end?
Well, adolescence ended.
Correct.
You come out the other end, mother.
but it takes time.
So how long that takes, the brain scans suggest seven years.
Until the next study drops in 20 years.
And they're like, oh yeah, 20 years, still there, changes.
So I reckon it's forever.
But at this stage, we had one month, six months, four years, two years.
Now we have the seven-year study.
So changes, matricence, like the changes that have happened are there forever.
