Matrescence is a term that many people have never heard, yet it describes a transformation experienced by every mother. It refers to the physical, psychological and identity changes a person goes through when they become a mother. Matrescence coach and educator Kayley Benjamin says that by naming the transformation, it gives people the language to understand it. “It touches every single aspect of a person's life, be it the physical, hormonal, brain changes, social relationship changes...even their economic position and power. Many women as they become mothers also reevaluate their meaning, their values and their priorities,” says Benjamin. Educators like Benjamin say putting a name to this major life transition helps validate an experience many mothers go through.
