So why is no one throwing us a party?! I got a Bat Mitzvah when I got my period and my brain and body changed and became fertile. And when I gave birth and my brain and body changed again, I got…a baby. Where was the party? The theme? The dancers? The reverence? The recognition? The celebration?
Becoming a mother aka Matrescence is basically an adult puberty. Our hormones, minds, and bodies go haywire as everything changes. It’s not all in your head, it’s in your body too!
Learn more about Matrescence here and building ceremonies around the transition here.
