Episode 55: Navigating Matrescence with ADHD with Gemma Mercer
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
