  • Summary

  • In this episode of Well Rooted Matrescence, we explore the concept of 'Mom Brain' and its physiological and emotional aspects during the transition to motherhood. We highlight the physical brain changes (neuroplasticity) and the impact of hormones like oxytocin and offer insights into how mothers can embrace these changes and connect with their intuition. We also discuss the discrepancies in research surrounding postpartum cognitive changes and mother's experiences, including the increased mental load that comes with mothering.00:00 Welcome to Well Rooted Matrescence;
