Motherhood is not just one single moment of transformation—it's an uncharted journey of discovery, strength, and growth. Yet so often the stories of mothers go untold, invisible to the world and sometimes belittled even to themselves. That’s why Maia is inviting you to take part in the Writing Matrescence Challenge, a space to share your voice and celebrate the beauty and complexity of your motherhood journey.
Whether you’re newly pregnant, navigating the first weeks postpartum, or years into motherhood, your story matters. This challenge isn’t just about writing—it’s about connection. It’s about honoring the changes you’ve experienced and recognizing the power within you.
How It Works
Write a short piece (300 words or less) about how motherhood has changed you. There is no minimum word count, but we're looking for a story. Your story can be joyful, raw, reflective, or anything in between. Every submission enters you into a lottery to win our Strong as a Mother Package shown above, featuring:
A "Strong as a Mother" mug
A "Strong as a Mother" tote bag
A handcrafted boob bead necklace
Selected entries will also be featured here in our "Mom Rants" blog and on Maia’s social media channels, amplifying your voice to inspire others. You can choose to share your story anonymously if you prefer—your voice, your choice.
Why Join the Challenge? Because motherhood deserves to be seen. Your journey is unique, and by sharing it, you may inspire another mother to feel seen, heard, and validated. Together, we can create a tapestry of stories that celebrate the beauty, strength, and diversity of motherhood.
How to Enter
Submit your story here by November 29th. Let’s bring motherhood out of the shadows and into the light.
You are powerful. You are divine. And your story is worth sharing.
