   Matrescence: The Transition from Womanhood to Motherhood with Mary Yetter

   In this conversation, Dr. Andrea Newland, PT, DPT, pelvic floor physical therapist and Mary Yetter, Matrescence educator and coach, explore what truly happens when someone becomes a mother — physically, emotionally, relationally, and psychologically. Together, they unpack the term and experience of, "matrescence," or the process of becoming a mother. Though the term was coined 50 years ago, very few know that there is a word that embodies this transformative period in one's life. Often overlooked is the profound identity transformation that occurs during motherhood. From physical recovery, nervous system regulation, and birth trauma to rage, resentment, loss of self, and shifting relationships, this episode bridges the gap and provides language and support for something that all mothers experience, but often struggle to describe. Mary Yetter is the founder of My Matrescence, where she supports mothers navigating the identity shifts of motherhood through coaching, education, and community-centered conversations around matrescence.

   Before & After Birth: A Patient’s Journey Through Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

   In this candid and compassionate episode, Dr. Andrea Newland, PT, DPT interviews Pam, a former patient, to explore the full arc of her journey through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. What begins as a conversation about prenatal pelvic floor physical therapy unfolds into a deeply personal story of resilience, vulnerability, and healing. The patient shares how she first sought support during pregnancy to manage persistent sacroiliac (SI) joint pain and urinary incontinence—common but often under-discussed challenges. Together, she and her pelvic floor physical therapist navigated tailored treatment strategies that not only eased her discomfort but also helped her feel more connected to her changing body in preparation for birth. The conversation then shifts to her birth experience, offering an honest reflection on expectations versus reality, and how physical and emotional factors intertwined during labor and delivery. With openness and nuance, she recounts the moments that shaped her transition into motherhood. In the postpartum chapter, the episode dives into the realities many new mothers face but few openly discuss: pelvic instability, lingering pain, upper back tension from feeding and holding her baby, and the emotional weight of recovery. Through continued pelvic floor therapy, she found both physical rehabilitation and a space for validation and support during a time of profound change. This episode sheds light on the often overlooked role of pelvic floor physical therapy across the perinatal journey. It’s a story that will resonate with anyone navigating pregnancy, recovering from childbirth, or supporting someone who is—offering insight, reassurance, and a reminder that healing is not linear, but it is possible.
