How is Motherhood ?

What happens when motherhood feels more like survival than serenity? In this vulnerable and powerful episode, we sit down with a mother who opens up about the emotional weight of parenting—from battling self-doubt and burnout to learning how to ask for help and embrace grace.

She shares how her children became her mirror, her ministry, and sometimes her greatest challenge. With honesty that cuts deep, she talks about moments of crying out for support, the struggle of showing up when you're running on empty, and the power of having a village.

"You’re human. Stop expecting miracles."
"Am I the worst mum in the world?"
"My children are my first ministry."

As a mom, have you ever felt like setting firm standards might push your child away? Society often makes it seem like discipline and connection can’t coexist—but what if that’s not true?

In this episode, Pastor Mary shares how her mother balanced discipline with love, using scripture as her guide. She reveals why she tells her own children, "I discipline you because I love you," and how she enforces rules while keeping an open heart.

How do you stay firm yet loving? Where do you draw the line? And how can you parent with both authority and grace?

Motherhood isn’t just picture-perfect moments and matching PJs—it’s raw, real, and sometimes overwhelming. In this episode of How is Motherhood, I sit down with Rita Chidinma, the face behind Young Nigerian Mom, to unpack the unspoken sides of motherhood.

Rita shares how she went from a carefree young woman to a mother of three in rapid succession, navigating the chaos, the expectations, and the reality that no one warned her about. We talk about why many mothers struggle to admit the hard parts, the pressure to say “I’m fine,” and how we can create spaces where moms feel safe to share their truths.

If you’ve ever wondered why your motherhood journey doesn’t look like what you see online, this episode is for you.

Motherhood is a journey filled with constant change, and embracing every step of it is essential. In this conversation, Tori shares how she has made a conscious decision to find joy in every season of motherhood, no matter the challenges. She also highlights the importance of choosing your spouse wisely before marriage, as that decision plays a crucial role in shaping the kind of mother you become.
