Motherhood is the most beautiful journey and like any other journey it comes with many challenges and joys. There’s no perfect way to prepare yourself for this journey, and culturally we never talk about the struggles of a mother.

Our society is accustomed to seeing happy pictures of Mothers with their children – but what about the not so happy days? What about depression, anger or just the not so good days? How parents and mothers are judged when children fall sick, or how a mother struggles when her child has a disability or illness?

In this episode – we break down the various sides of motherhood and talk about unlearning what our culture has taught us about motherhood with Nabanita Sen Bekkers. Nabanita is based in the Netherlands and is currently the director at Opportunities Unlimited and is a mother to three amazing children.
