What if becoming a mother wasn’t just a life event, but a profound transformation that reshapes your entire identity? In this episode of The Women’s Vibrancy Code, Maraya Brown sits down with midwife and transformational coach Corina Fitch to explore the transformative journey of matrescence—the process of becoming a mother. Corina shares her personal experience transitioning from attending births to guiding women through the profound shifts of motherhood, especially after 35. The conversation highlights the emotional and physical changes women face, from stress and sleep deprivation to navigating career changes and societal pressures. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the deep identity shifts that come with motherhood, the importance of self-care and support, and how women can embrace this transformative period with grace and empowerment. Also in this episode: Stress, societal pressures, and environmental factors heavily influence a woman's ability to conceive, particularly in her mid-30s and beyond. Women experience significant shifts in identity during motherhood, demanding new levels of self-compassion and a reevaluation of personal values and professional ambitions. The absence of traditional village models for raising children has highlighted the necessity of building modern support networks to combat loneliness and shame in motherhood. When supported properly, the journey of becoming a mother — and navigating matrescence — can lead to profound personal and professional transformations. About the guest: Corina Fitch is a midwife, matrescence facilitator, transformational coach, and founder of MotherFly. With over 30 years of experience walking alongside women in their journey to and through motherhood, Corina blends her clinical background as a midwife and NICU nurse with training in Feminine Power, embodiment, motherhood studies, and identity transformation.
