Motherhood changes us. As the generation who were told we could do anything and be anything we want to be, accepting the changes that come with motherhood can be very difficult.
This podcast is a collection of stories of matrescence, motherhood, womanhood and change, told by our Mama Rising coaches and mothers around the globe. Through our stories and community, we hope that the wisdom of the rite of passage of matrescence spreads far and wide, and that we can begin to change the way we see, value and support ALL mothers everywhere. Because we really need it.

Welcome to this week’s episode of The Happy Mama Movement Podcast.
Today I’m joined by Lucy Wylde — coach for women and mothers, matrescence guide, personal trainer, and perinatal wellbeing specialist.
With raw honesty and poetic strength, Lucy shares the story of her early experiences of motherhood — from medical trauma and personal betrayal to powerful reclamation — and how she rose from the fire to support others in doing the same.
WE TALK ABOUT:
How five days of labour and a traumatic emergency C-section shattered her sense of safety and control.
Why we need to stop asking new mothers about their babies and start seeing them — especially when the system doesn’t.
The healing power of movement, performance, and allowing the primal truth of our motherhood stories to be expressed.
Why Lucy believes we need a new language for survival — and how finding comfort isn’t a failure but a lifeline.
From trauma to poetry, Lucy reflects on the death of an old self and the fierce beauty of becoming your own protector.
Lucy’s story is one of heartbreak and hope, rage and resilience. I hope it leaves you feeling less alone, more seen, and ready to take up space in your own journey — no matter where you are right now. If this episode speaks to your heart, please share it widely so other mothers can feel held, too.
