Brain + Bites – Matrescence: Thriving in Motherhood

Wednesday, August 20, 11 AM – 1 PM

The Wild, Wonderful Journey of Matrescence: Thriving in Motherhood with Angela LeBrun & Astrid Monroe of Luminous Mental Health

Motherhood is more than a role–it’s a transformation.

Join Angela and Astrid for a powerful, heartfelt conversation about matrescence, the developmental journey of becoming a mother. Just like adolescence, matrescence is a profound psychological, neurological, spiritual, and emotional shift–one that is rarely named or honored in our culture.

Through storytelling, science, and soul, this talk explores:

-The 12 life domains impacted by motherhood

-Three core emotional conflicts: isolation, perfectionism, and self-sacrifice

-How to shift from surviving to flourishing through community, self-compassion, and embodied self-care

Expect grounding practices, real talk, audience participation, and gentle wisdom to help you reconnect with yourself–because motherhood isn’t about bouncing back; it’s about becoming more you.
