Becoming a mother is a huge transition and one that is rarely celebrated, supported, and honoured in the ways that mothers need. This leaves mothers disoriented, lost, and exhausted.
Gladys Kangau experienced all of this after the birth of her first child. She was told she had post-partum depression but believed it was something else. This started her on a journey of searching for her truth and led her to find matrescence which helped her to make sense of her mothering journey.
We discuss:
- The cultural expectations of a ‘good mother’ in Kenya
- How finding matrescence healed her mothering experience
- The small and simple steps that helped Gladys let go of the expectations and led her to being an activist in her community
