Navigating matrescence with ADHD

Matrescence may be a terminology you're not too familiar with, but if you're a mother, you'll fully understand its meaning.

Today's guest is Gemma Mercer, a transformation coach for mothers and Matrescence Educator. Gemma coaches women individually and in the workplace, helping them merge their ambitions, roles and responsibilities when juggling family life.

She believes becoming a mother doesn’t mean we need to lose our self and she supports women to ditch the should-do’s, regain control, rediscover their self-identity and redefine what they want from life… now that they are also Mum.

During today's conversation, Gemma and Kate talk about:

  • What "Matrescence" means
  • Gemma's ADHD journey
  • Working in a patriarchal environment
  • The idea of "having it all" as a mother
  • Reasons you might not be coping with everything motherhood brings
  • Trauma and ADHD
  • Seeing our ADHD traits in our kids
  • How motherhood changes you/your career
  • Navigating new careers in matrescence
  • Getting to know ourselves after having a baby
  • The challenges of being an ADHD mother
  • Motherhood and workplace burnout
  • Diversity and inclusion in the workplace
