The Psychology of Motherhood: Understanding Matrescence and Identity Shifts with Jessie Harrold

<p> Today we are speaking about a topic I have never touched upon - matrescence - with a wonderful woman who is a coach, author, doula, and the founder of <em>MotherSHIFT</em> and <em>The Becoming Podcast</em>. </p><p>She has dedicated her work to guiding women through life’s biggest transitions—especially matrescence, motherhood, and personal reinvention. With over a decade of experience supporting women in navigating these profound shifts, she brings a unique blend of research, storytelling, and deep wisdom to the conversation.</p><p>Her work is all about honoring the messy, beautiful, and sacred transformation of becoming—not just a mother, but a new version of yourself. Through her writing, coaching, and community-building, she is helping women embrace change with more confidence, self-compassion, and connection. We are so incredibly excited to welcome Jessie Harrold to MT. </p><p><br/></p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessie.es.harrold/</p><p><br/></p><p><b>PRODUCTS:</b></p><p>Skylight: <a href='https://amzn.to/3VsE0jr'>https://amzn.to/3VsE0jr</a></p><p>Oura Ring: <a href='https://amzn.to/41u6GvZ'>https://amzn.to/41u6GvZ</a></p><p>Heveya Cloud Mattress: <a href='https://heveya.ae/products/cloud-mattress?variant=45559556014249'>https://heveya.ae/products/cloud-mattress?variant=45559556014249</a></p><p><br/></p><p>Before we dive in — a quick word from our friends at London Dairy Ice Cream.
