  • EP 07: A Lonely Pregnancy, A Tough Recovery & Finding My Son's Voice - Part 1

    In this episode, we listen to Linda who looks back at her four year journey as a mother. 

    She found out that she was pregnant unexpectedly, and like many mothers out there, abortion came to mind. This might be a trigger for some, so please have that in mind as you listen to this episode.

    In spite of having an  'easy'  but lonely pregnancy, her recovery journey proved to be tougher than she expected. In addition to that, she had to help her son find his voice in a world that told him he could not speak.

    Part two of her story  will be released in the next episode.

  • EP 06: Reflection- My Current Fears & Achievements
    In this episode, I reflect on  a number of things that have been on my mind so far. I talk about my fears as a mum and the wins I feel I have achieved so far.

    I talk about sharing a recording I made about experiencing burnout, but when I was editing this episode, I listened back to it and I sounded so sad. I felt triggered sharing it. For now, let it sit pretty in my laptop until I feel like listening to it and sharing it, if necessary.

    Thanks for listening to this episode and we will be back to regular programming by listening to another mama in the next episode!
