Matrescence by Lucy Jones review – the birth of a mother theguardian.com/books/2023/jun…

Wonderful to be interviewed by Lucy Jones for her book Matrescence. Delighted that #existential ideas about the transformational aspect of motherhood will reach a wider audience. Lucy weaves research, personal experience & nature into this important, accessible book, do read it!

Hey New York!! Enjoy a host of concerts illuminated by candlelight 🥳🕯️✨

Too early to call book of the year? It feels like I have been waiting for Lucy Jones’ “Matrescence” (the book, not the process!) for a long time.

Ongoing research is focusing on an RCT exploring a way to support healthy smartphone habits for new mothers in the transition to parenthood

Who knew how much simpler things could be? Once you learn about these little hacks, they'll become a part of your daily life. 🤩

I wish I’d known about #matrescence before I became a mother. As much as I wanted to be a mum (I won’t ever forget the 5 dark years before Evie), the physical, emotional and spiritual process of becoming one continues to knock me for six. A must listen. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

Look out for Matrescence mobiles in a few fantastic independent book shops if you’re popping in: Book-ish 📚 in Abergavenny (pictured), La Biblioteka in Sheffield, The Feminist Bookshop in Brighton, The Margate Bookshop and bookhaus in Bristol. Thank you for selling the book 🖤

Really interesting connection between ‘still face’ paradigm & #smartphone use.

Overuse of #smartphone related to maternal #loneliness . Stark research when we know how toxic loneliness is to our sense of safety, connection and wellbeing.

We don’t properly recognise “the psychological and physiological significance of becoming a mother: how it affects the brain, the endocrine system, cognition, immunity, the psyche, the microbiome, the sense of self”.

Agba John Doe The word ‘Matrescence’ describes motherhood as ascribed to childbearing. In this case, she became a mother because life made her that. She didn’t have to be a wife first. Through responsibility, she had to step up. I think she can still be a good MIL without being a wife.

Bristol friends; the amazing Bookhaus has copies of Matrescence and a beautiful cover-inspired mobile aloft! Thank you bookhaus

Really insightful fireside chat exploring the relationship between mothers and babies in the context of smartphone use-babies as young as 4mths demonstrate more avoidant behaviour in the context of such smartphone use

“Social pollution” & #smartphone use muddies the space between mothers and babies.
