A guide to matrescence, the transformative journey of becoming a mother
by Chelsey Scaffidi
While the birth of a child is widely celebrated, the profound transformation a woman undergoes as she steps into motherhood—known as matrescence—is equally life-altering. Just as adolescence marks the shift from childhood to adulthood, matrescence reshapes a woman’s entire sense of self as she transitions from maiden to mother.
The Mother Year is a 365-day guiding light for new mothers navigating the early stages of motherhood. Each entry features a simple yet powerful structure: a daily theme, a prayer, and a small sip of self-care that integrates easily into daily life. It nourishes the soul without overwhelming, offering moments of reflection and inspiration.
Divided into four seasons—Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer—The Mother Year mirrors both the natural cycles of the earth and the distinct phases of this transformative journey: Autumn invites the shedding of old identities; Winter calls for introspection and renewal; Spring fosters the planting of new intentions and growth; and Summer celebrates the flourishing of the new mother. By aligning the path of matrescence with the rhythms of nature, this book offers a grounding, cyclical framework that honors the wisdom of both the seasons and the sacred process of becoming a mother.
The Mother Year is a must-have companion for mothers in their first year, offering a spark of inspiration, a divinity dip, and a gentle reminder of strength in the quiet depths of motherhood.
Chelsey Scaffidi is a mother of two, meditation teacher, social impact lawyer, and author. Drawing from the intimate voicenotes she recorded during the highs and lows of her own first year of motherhood and honest interviews she conducted with new moms, Chelsey provides an empowering, holistic approach to motherhood, rooted in mindfulness, self-compassion, and connection.

The Journey Within to Find Myself
In Breaking Apart, Reema Kumari shares her deeply personal journey through childhood, generational, and cultural trauma spanning decades and continents. Her curiosity and resolve led her to research various spiritual systems, therapies, and treatments around the world to confront the painful cycle of abuse she witnessed and endured. By combining her beautifully written story with studies and reflections, she invites the reader to shatter the false beliefs they may hold and discover their true self beneath layers of inherited limitation and unconscious patterns. To learn how to break free from the need for validation, approval, or external permission, and to remember the radical truth that you are already free to exist as yourself without apology or justification.
Reema has spent her career in the life sciences sector, yet her deepest education came from the initiations life placed in her path. Those experiences pulled her beyond the boundaries of logic and into the quiet territories of esoteric wisdom, where she began to understand the subtle architecture of consciousness and the true nature of healing. Her work carries the imprint of both science and spirit, offering a pathway to liberation that is as soulful as it is grounded.
