Before moving to Canada, Sophia Etuhube was a successful journalist who had built her own media production business in Nigeria. She and her husband planned the move for "greener pastures," expecting a seamless transition into Canadian schools and careers. But sometimes, life has other plans.

Instead of hitting the ground running, a critical lack of available daycare forced Sophia into the unexpected and challenging role of a stay-at-home mom (SAHM). This massive shift led to a profound crisis of confidence where Sophia admits, "I lost myself."

In this crucial episode of Busy Moms Get It Done, Sophia shares her journey of self-discovery, emphasizing:

The unexpected emotional challenges of the SAHM transition.

Why comparison can steal your joy and why you must focus on your own lane.

The importance of seeing motherhood as an addition to life, not a setback.

How to use transitional phases to prepare for future career opportunities.

Sophia’s story is a powerful reminder that the journey of motherhood is all about the process, not just the destination.
