Motherhood changes us and not just physically, it's a whole biological transformation. As our bodies and our brains change, it shifts how we see ourselves, the world, and even our faith. But often, we don’t have language for that change.

In this powerful episode of Birthing in Faith, I’m joined by Yodit Kifle Smith, a mom, writer, minister, and the heart behind MamasPrayTalkCare and Called to the Ones. We're diving into the concept of matrescence - the gradual unfolding that creates a new version of you in motherhood.

Yodit shares how her personal journey through motherhood led her to discover deeper layers of calling, surrender, and faith. We also talk about how her ministries create safe spaces for mothers to process, pray, and feel seen in the middle of the often-unspoken emotional shifts that come with parenting.

What We Cover in This Episode:

✨ What matrescence means and why it matters
✨ The beauty and complexity of becoming in motherhood
✨ How MamasTalkPrayCare supports mothers in every stage of the journey
✨ The mission of Called to the Ones and how God uses motherhood to refine us
✨ Encouragement for anyone who feels like they’ve “lost” themselves in motherhood

Whether you’re a new mom, deep in the postpartum trenches, or a woman just beginning to explore what motherhood might mean for you... this conversation will remind you that you are still becoming, and you are still called.
