Female Health Challenges No One Names: Matrescence

In this conversation, Amy Taylor-Kabbaz names one of the biggest female health challenges most women have never heard of: matrescence. It's the identity shift a woman goes through as she becomes a mother, as real and disorienting as adolescence. Amy spent 15 years as a journalist and producer at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Then she became a mom and couldn't make sense of her own story. It's a conversation about identity, care, and women's autonomy. In this conversation, we talk about: - The day Amy finally heard the word matrescence, and why she pulled over to cry - Why matrescence is the biggest endocrine event a human being can go through - What the Lindsay Clancy case reveals about fragmented postpartum care - Why mothers haven't been silent, and who hasn't been listening About the guest: Amy Taylor-Kabbaz is the author of Mama Rising and the founder of the Global Matrescence Foundation.
