Matrescence describe the physical, psychological, and emotional changes people go through during the monumental transformation that is motherhood. When a child is about to be brought forth into the world we tend to focus so much on the baby and Mum is an after thought if it all. Today we listen to a journey that is shrouded in shame, depression, body shaming ... 

Yes our mothers/aunties/sisters come to help in the first three months. However, is that enough? Is the support the right kind of support? You judge.

Lubunga Lucindi Chawelwa is a speaker, blogger, fitness and maternal health advocate. In this episode with Lubunga , we have a very candid conversation about, what it's really like to become a mother. We talk about the physical, mental and emotional changes a woman must go through. This is a necessary conversation that not a lot of women are having. Take a listen.
