In this episode of The Motherhood Experience, I sit down with Nikki McPhetridge, first-time author and mom to Maya, to talk about the inspiration behind her new children’s book, Maya’s Birthday Wish. Nikki shares the story of her faith journey, the struggles she faced during pregnancy, and how those challenges deepened her perspective on motherhood.

We also dive into conversations about materialism in today’s culture, the importance of intentional parenting, and the legacies we hope to leave for our children. Nikki’s gentle wisdom and personal experiences remind us that motherhood is about more than the day-to-day; it’s about shaping hearts, nurturing faith, and creating lasting stories for future generations.

If you’ve ever wrestled with questions of faith, or wondered how to raise children with grounded values in a fast-paced world, this episode will encourage and inspire you.
