How is Motherhood ?

In this episode we look at the story of Jabez and how his prayer can help us as mothers to pray for our children and ourselves.

🌱 Think of a mother you know who may be feeling overwhelmed, unseen, or isolated.
Imagine how sharing this podcast with her today could bring encouragement, hope, and a reminder that she’s not alone.

🎧 Commit to listening and reflecting on one episode each week.
As you do, write down one takeaway or truth that speaks to your season. When we reach our next milestone, look back at how these insights have supported and shaped your motherhood journey.

🙏🏾 Pray this with us every week:
“God, thank You for the gift of motherhood and the strength You give each day. May this podcast continue to empower, uplift, and connect mothers across the world. Let it be a place of healing, wisdom, and joy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

In this heartfelt episode of How Is Motherhood?, we sit down with Hanna from Good Day Moms to unpack the messy, beautiful journey of parenting through tantrums, emotional overwhelm, and spiritual growth. As a mom of three (ages 8, 6, and 4), Hanna shares her raw "aha moments"—like the time she realised her frustration wasn’t about her toddler’s defiance but about her own need to respond with Christ-like patience.

We dive into:

• The cycle of guilt vs. conviction—how to course-correct after losing your temper (without dwelling in shame).

• Gentle parenting vs. assertive boundaries—why Hanna is stepping away from "gentle parenting" to find balance.

• Fruits of the Spirit in the trenches—how outbursts of wrath reveal where we really need the Holy Spirit.

• Prayer for busy moms—why Hanna prays best in a loud spin class (and how micro-moments with God transform her day).

• The lies of social media motherhood—why she didn’t feel "instant love" after her first birth (and why that’s normal).

Whether you’re in the toddler tantrum phase or navigating big emotions with older kids, this conversation is a reminder: motherhood isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, leaning on grace, and letting God refine you through the chaos.

Listen now—and know you’re not alone.

What does it truly mean to become a mother? In this powerful episode of How is Motherhood?, I sit down with Mama Sithole—a mother of three and a pillar of wisdom—to explore the unvarnished realities of parenting. From the life-changing moment she first held her daughter to the cultural clashes of raising kids abroad, Mama Sithole holds nothing back.

• The Hidden Meaning of "Congratulations": Why childbirth made her see motherhood—and her own mom—in a whole new light.

• Breastfeeding Battle Scars: The blistering pain no one warns you about (and why "just push through" isn’t always the answer).

• Motherhood Across Continents: The heartache of leaving a child behind to migrate—and the cultural tightrope of parenting in the UK.

• Prayer as a Lifeline: How faith pulled her through sleepless nights, colic, and teenage rebellion.

With equal parts humor and heartbreak, Mama Sitole’s journey reminds us that motherhood isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, even when you’re exhausted, unsure, or bleeding (literally).

For every mom who’s ever felt alone in the struggle: Press play. You’ll laugh, cry, and feel seen.

In this episode, we have a heartfelt conversation about what it really means to parent with vision. We talk about the importance of paying attention — not just accepting what professionals or culture say, but noticing the little things our children are showing us every day.

We share honest stories about the times we got it wrong — when exhaustion or assumptions clouded our awareness — and how parenting often invites us to slow down, listen again, and learn. Grace for ourselves and each other is a big part of the journey.

We also explore how parenting isn't a solo mission: it takes teamwork. We talk about the beauty of co-parenting when both partners are willing, the silent sacrifices good fathers often make, and the strength it takes to build a family culture where everyone feels seen and supported.

This conversation is a real reminder that parenting with vision isn’t about perfection — it’s about humility, growth, and staying open to learning along the wa

In this vulnerable and wisdom-filled episode of How is Motherhood, I sit down with Pastor Debbie Banda — founder of Enrich Women’s Ministry, entrepreneur, speaker, author, and mother of three. We dive into the raw realities of becoming a mom, the pressure of perfection, and the shock of motherhood, even after years of working in professional care.

Pastor Debbie shares her deeply personal journey of fear and growth, from being scared to bathe her newborn to learning to live in the moment with confidence and grace. Together, we unpack the silent struggles of breastfeeding, the unspoken weight of comparison, and the unexpected gaps between expectation and reality — especially as shaped by our culture, community, and social media.

This episode is a gentle reminder that every motherhood journey is different, and that real strength often looks like asking for help, embracing the mess, and releasing the myth of the “perfect mother.” Whether you're a new mom, a seasoned parent, or somewhere in between, this conversation will leave you encouraged, seen, and reminded that you’re not alone.

Grab a cup of tea and join us as we keep it honest, heartfelt, and real.

In this honest and heartfelt episode, we unpack the idea of “helping” in the home and challenge the mindset that assigns chores to one gender. Through real stories and wisdom shared from lived experience, we explore how shared responsibility, honouring one another, and subtle communication can transform the atmosphere in a marriage.

From practical tips on how to “sell the product” without nagging, to how to affirm efforts without reinforcing stereotypes (“Wow, the house looks nice” vs “Thanks for doing the dishes”), we look at the small shifts that make a big difference.

You’ll hear why ignoring what’s not done perfectly can sometimes be a strength, how to stay in unity even when tasks fall short, and why involving your husband early in parenting is a game-changer. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, overworked, or under-appreciated in your role at home—this episode is for you.
