Motherhood is a game-changer
“Matrescence” is the existential journey of motherhood and a cornerstone of ELIXR’s work
3 matrescence truths
Change happens across many dimensions: bio, psycho, socio, relational, neuro
Once it starts, change is continuous but the journey never ends
Women in matrescence are primed for more! But need a supportive system and the tools to thrive
The matrescence investment case is massive
Many downstream costs are preventable with the right kind of interventions.
84%
of working mothers would stay at their company with greater support . (carrot)
213%
of an employee’s salary is the upward cost of replacing an employee (maven)
43%
of new moms end up leaving their careers. (maven)
43%
of highly qualified women with children who are unsupported in their companies report being “checked out” or disengaged at work” leading to more turnover (Center for Talent Innovation)
Broader downstream costs* stemming from lack of support structures add up quickly to billions of dollars of losses which plainly merit preventive action.
*issues include of long-term healthcare for mismanaged postpartum problems, dealing with absenteeism and reduced productivity during postpartum struggles, and settling lawsuits (maven)
COMPANY A
A small company with 11 new moms could stand to lose over a million dollars a year (maven)

WHERE WE’VE BEEN
Moms in the workplace are hindered by a structure not built for them.
2x as many working mothers say parenthood made it harder to advance in their careers vs. working fathers (source)
“Nearly half of working moms sought therapy in 2023, yet many still lack mental health support access” (state of motherhood 2023)
43% of women leave their careers after birth of a child, and another 29% switch to lower-paying, more flexible jobs. (maven)
WHERE WE’RE GOING
The women on your teams know they are fully supported by the cultures they work in.
They have champions creating paths for growth and don’t feel like motherhood means sacrificing career advancement.
They have structural support to work effectively and perform exceptionally, with education and tools that support mental health.
Women committed to their jobs will have their jobs and companies equally committed to them long-term.
