Being in a bi-racial marriage can get tricky when it comes to parenting bi-racial kids, especially if your partner comes from a really different cultural background. Joyce & Sophia talk about their childhood being raised by Korean moms and how that impacted their current mothering. 

What are absolutes we want to continue? What do we want to break and not bring with us?

Listen along as we unfold what it means to be an Umma in our own unique ways!

We can't be The Old Umma Club and not talk about what's aging us and making us feel old. Even though starting families in our 30s is super common, we also know we get slapped with "geriatric pregnancy" the moment we turn 35 years old. Join us on this cheeky episode as we talk about rickety bones to the never ending sleepless nights that magically ages us overnight!

In this episode, we have an honest conversation about how we went from working mom to full-time stay-at-home parent, from two different perspectives: One never envisioned she would ever be a mother, let alone a stay-at-home parent. The other always dreamed about having a family and staying at home to raise children. We discuss what the transition was like, what our expectations were, and what the reality is-- and how that's impacted our marriage and parenting.

Our first episode begins with a very fundamental question: What is an umma? What is a mother? When you hear the words "Mother" or "Mom," what image, what descriptions come to mind? 

Here we talk about how we formed our first image of an "ideal" mother, the conscious and subconscious expectations we developed for ourselves, and how we bring God into it.
