About this listen
Join Jovia Godfrey and Vanessa Leveille on the Chez Nenen Podcast as they delve into the multifaceted journey of motherhood, identity, and cultural influences.
This episode, 'Reclaiming,' explores themes of self-reclamation, the expansion of self, post-motherhood, and the unique challenges and beauty of mothering within immigrant cultures. Vanessa, an Afro-Cape Verdean therapist and coach, shares insights on matrescence and reclaiming buried parts of oneself, while Jovia, a Haitian-American woman, resonates with the feeling of being 'more me than ever before' after becoming a mother.
The conversation highlights the communal aspect of mothering in Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Cape Verdean cultures, contrasting it with the more isolated American approach. Discover how shifts in life, like moving and navigating cultural identities, contribute to personal growth and self-discovery in motherhood. Perfect for mothers, women of color, and anyone interested in maternal mental health, identity, culture, and the transformative power of matrescence.
