#24 Matrescence - Navigating the Identity Shift with Yara Heary

Description:

In this episode, we sit down with Yara Heary, to talk about the identity shift that accompanies matrescence. 

Yara is a Perth Based psychologist who works exclusively with women throughout conception, pregnancy, and motherhood. Yara started Life After Birth Psychology following the birth of her first son which started her on yet another journey of self-rediscovery. Her experiences throughout early motherhood sparked her passion to support other women as they navigate their own family of origin dynamics, the social programming of the “good mother”, relationship changes with those around them, identity shifts, and role changes to find their place of balance and authenticity as mothers.

Throughout this episode we take a look at our identity shifts when we become a mother.  We discuss the fact that sometimes the process of becoming a mother can cause us to  lose touch with ourselves, to let go of our goals, hobbies, aspirations and friendships, and what to do about it. 

We normalise the changes of matrescence, and the fact that sometimes we are not in love with every single part of it, and we give both hope and strategies to find your way back. me.

This conversation brought us right back to the very reason we started this podcast: To better understand matrescence, and how it can affect our experiences as both women and mothers. 

If you have ever asked the question "Who am I now that I am a mother?" 
If you have lost touch with your interests and passions. 
If you sometimes feel discontent or restless in your mothering. 
If you are feel that your old friendships, career, goals or hobbies are no longer serving you, then this episode is for you.
