    Navigating matrescence with ADHD

    Navigating matrescence with ADHD

    Matrescence may be a terminology you're not too familiar with, but if you're a mother, you'll fully understand its meaning.

    Today's guest is Gemma Mercer, a transformation coach for mothers and Matrescence Educator. Gemma coaches women individually and in the workplace, helping them merge their ambitions, roles and responsibilities when juggling family life.

    She believes becoming a mother doesn’t mean we need to lose our self and she supports women to ditch the should-do’s, regain control, rediscover their self-identity and redefine what they want from life… now that they are also Mum.

    During today's conversation, Gemma and Kate talk about:

    • What "Matrescence" means
    • Gemma's ADHD journey
    • Working in a patriarchal environment
    • The idea of "having it all" as a mother
    • Reasons you might not be coping with everything motherhood brings
    • Trauma and ADHD
    • Seeing our ADHD traits in our kids
    • How motherhood changes you/your career
    • Navigating new careers in matrescence
    • Getting to know ourselves after having a baby
    • The challenges of being an ADHD mother
    • Motherhood and workplace burnout
    • Diversity and inclusion in the workplace

    The Process Of Becoming A Mother Has A Name: Matrescence

    The Process Of Becoming A Mother Has A Name: Matrescence
    Becoming a mother is a huge, complicated life transition that can rock every fiber of a person's being. The process even has its own name: matrescence.

    That postpartum feeling of being on an emotional rollercoaster, not recognizing your body in the mirror, thinking that you've lost yourself—it's all part of the process. Yet, not a lot of people talk about it, leading many new moms to think that there's a problem with them if they feel anything but joy.

    In this episode, host Grace Bastidas of Parents Latina offers guidance for mothers trying to make sense of this life stage. Here are five takeaways that can help moms-to-be (and moms already in the thick of it) get their footing, ​​including tips on how to manage expectations, get the support you need and prioritize time for yourself.
