Parenthood and maintaining a healthy relationship are ambitious endeavors. Being fully aware, you armed yourself with all the latest books, articles, podcasts, and resources, committed to being present and strong for your family. Yet, despite embracing every piece of advice and strategy in your search for reassurance, there are times you find yourself wondering why the harmony, connection, and closeness you envisioned seem out of reach. If this rings true, let me tell you: it's not you! It's what they didn't tell you. The parenting guidance and strategies we read online lack depth. They hardly ever address the transition into parenthood and the profound impact this has on our identity, partnerships, and ability to show up as the parent we wish to be for our children. But guess what? We're about to turn that around. Hi there, I'm Markella Kaplani. A clinical-counseling psychologist, a parenthood and relationship Coach, a matrescence coach and facilitator, a former special educator, and a parent myself. In my 15 years in counseling and coaching, I know this to be true: once a parent is truly supported, not only through being given techniques to overcome parenting challenges, but on a personal and relational level, then the entire family can thrive. So, welcome to the Parenthood and Relationship Podcast! Here, we learn to grow individually, normalizing and validating the processes of matrescence and patrescence (i.e. struggling with identity, mom guilt, dad guilt, postpartum rage, work-life balance, etc). We also grow together by unraveling how parenthood affects marriage and what stands in the way of following the actionable parenting strategies that we know are helpful. So, if you're feeling ready, let me hold your hand while we tackle intriguing, yet difficult topics, with compassion and curiosity.

Welcome to the Gospel Matrescence Podcast.  Matressence - the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional transformation women go through when becoming a mother.   This developmental stage of life is as powerful and irreversible as adolescence and yet few women have ever heard of it.

So much of who we are as individuals is stripped and then enriched by parenthood. A singular purpose with transcending universality. For most mothers there are so many silences that deserve to be held together and vocalised in safe spaces free of judgment. The Mommy mixtape is a compilation of voices from mums who are still figuring things out. No advice, no sermons, just mothers bearing witness to each others journeys and taking solace from stories that we all can relate to in some measure. Two psychologist moms and a stay at home mum come together to put forth alternative narratives on being a mum. The podcast is an attempt to initiate conversations around motherhood and maternal metal health by presenting perspectives from mums who are winging it and winning. more
