DO YOU KNOW WHAT MATRESCENCE IS?
matrescence: a woman’s transition into motherhood
I didn’t (and I am a mum of three, and have a PhD in Medicine!).
I just thought I was having a postnatal breakdown (read: stress, anxiety and overwhelm) after my third baby arrived. Turns out it was matrescence! And like so many mums before me, it changed my brain and my life completely. It was not good. I was not good.
I couldn’t find the help I needed. So, I created it. And I came back stronger and happier than ever.
And so can you.
You don’t need to be at the depths of despair, like I was.
Tough Mothers courses and programs are for all mothers and mums to-be who seek more contentment in their lives, or want to set themselves up for an amazing matrescence experience.
And it all starts with your brain.
Change your brain, change your life.
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR MATRESCENCE
Knowledge is power
1000 mums want you to know these things before you have your baby
I Wish Someone Had Told Me… is the best baby shower gift parents can get. It arms mums-to-be and new mothers with information that one thousand mothers from around the world wish they knew before having their babies.
Because some things in labour, childbirth and early motherhood are just too gross or embarrassing to share, many parents don’t find out the truth about what can, and often does, happen to women until they go through it themselves.
UNTIL NOW.
I Wish Someone Had Told Me… is the baby book packed with honest, medically- and factually-correct, informative, unspoken truths. It openly shares the gross, embarrassing, funny and rude things nobody likes to talk about, but every expectant mum must know.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. EMPOWER YOURSELF OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE

A little about me…
Hi, I’m Dr. Jen! Mother of 3, neuroscientist, The Mother Mentor, author, international speaker and creator of Tough Mothers.
I am here to change the way women experience matrescence (the transition into motherhood) and motherhood. Too often women are forgotten in the birthing process. The focus is only on the baby, but we must remember that along with the baby, a mother is born.
I wish I knew this when I became a mother.
Having studied for many years (I have a PhD in Neuroscience and a degree in Psychotherapy) I understood the brain well. But when I had a breakdown (read: stress, anxiety and overwhelm) after my third baby was born, I was at a loss to understand what was going on with my brain and with me.
I know now, it was matrescence!
Not being able to find the help I needed, resulted in me embarking on a journey to “fix myself” by transforming my brain. I spent two years analysing and learning about my mind, tapping into neuroscience knowledge, researching and learning, and creating a life within myself that I previously didn’t even dream of (… I am still going).

It's so so important. I had never heard of this until you mentioned it and it makes perfect sense!!
Lydia I so agree, it is incredibly important, especially to women who are just becoming mothers. Imagine how different our transition to becoming a mother would have been if we knew about matrescence ❤️
So true!
