Season 1, Episode 1: Matrescence and the Maternal Health Crisis

Welcome to Mothertonue!  In today's inaugural episode I will be discussing the foundations and vision for this podcast, which is ultimately about changing our cultural norms around motherhood.  Our current maternal care crisis and the epidemic of perinatal mood disorders will be explored as well as the big 'M' word, matrescence--what it is and why it's important.  I will also share my own personal story of becoming a mother and my experience with postpartum depression and anxiety.  For more resources in support of matrescence, go to www.motherfly.mom. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/corina-fitch/message

MotherTongue is a biweekly podcast centering the voices and stories of mamas who are changing the culture of motherhood. In these multifaceted conversations, we explore matrescence through a lens of transformation. Midwife, mother, matrescence mentor, and founder of MotherFLY, Corina Fitch and her guests unpack the patriarchal roots and costs of our current cultural models for motherhood - the martyr and the supermom - and collectively speak into being a new matriarchal archetype for sustainable and thriving motherhood- the MotherFLY.
