#297 | EMOTIONAL REGULATION IN MATRESCENCE | WITH KELLY THISTLETHWAITE

Welcome to The Happy Mama Movement Podcast!

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Kelly Thistlethwaite, an experienced Somatic and Matrescence Coach, to explore the transformative journey of motherhood. Kelly shares her profound insights on navigating the emotional landscape of motherhood, healing from birth trauma, and the importance of nervous system regulation in fostering resilience and well-being.

We talk about:

• The life-altering transformation that comes with Matrescence and how it reshapes identity
• Somatic approaches to emotional regulation and why they matter for mothers
• Navigating the complexities of birth trauma and perinatal loss with compassion
• Kelly's personal journey through loss, healing, and becoming a mother again

I hope this conversation offers you comfort, insight, and a sense of connection. If it resonates with you, please share it widely so more mothers can access the support they need to thrive.
