Welcome to another episode of A Soulful Mom's Wisdom! I'm your host, Africa O., a holistic wellness coach here to empower busy moms to embrace mental wellness through simple, effective routines. Today, I’m excited to share part two of my motherhood journey, guided by one of my favorite quotes and  wellness practices!

Quote: "Trust the process. There is beauty in the unknown."

Episode Highlights:

• Reflection on Motherhood                                                                                                          In the previous episode, I shared how I began planning for motherhood and the unexpected challenges I faced. Tune in to Episode 33 for insight into how that journey began.
• The Power of Affirmations                                                                                                              I practice affirmations to navigate uncertainty and lean into hope, not worry. 
• Navigating Fertility Challenges                                                                                                    I shared my journey of trying to conceive, including:
• Seeing a fertility specialist.                                                                                        Balancing science, faith, and self-care.
• Sobering Statistics                                                                                                                              Did you know that 1 in 5 married women aged 15–49 struggle to conceive after a year of trying? 
• A Lesson in Grace                                                                                                              Trusting the process isn’t easy, but it’s vital. Whether or not motherhood happens the way we expect, there’s beauty in the unknown.
