Welcome back to the podcast.

Today’s conversation takes us into the heart of what it means to mother through crisis.

Melissa Mai knows firsthand the weight of navigating motherhood during the pandemic—while the world stood still, she was moving through sleepless nights, the impact of isolation, and the crushing silence of doing it all alone.

She shares how anxiety took root in her body, how daily panic attacks became part of her rhythm, and what it really looks like to regulate a nervous system under constant strain.

Together, we question the expectations society places on mothers—and explore what happens when those expectations meet the reality of unprecedented times.

This is a raw emotional & honest reflection on the unspoken truths of mothering in isolation.

It also highlights the courage, resilience, tenderness of a soul-aligned woman and the love she brings to herself, her child and the world.

Please note: this is part one of this nourishing conversation.
