What does it truly mean to become a mother? In this powerful episode of How is Motherhood?, I sit down with Mama Sithole—a mother of three and a pillar of wisdom—to explore the unvarnished realities of parenting. From the life-changing moment she first held her daughter to the cultural clashes of raising kids abroad, Mama Sithole holds nothing back.

• The Hidden Meaning of "Congratulations": Why childbirth made her see motherhood—and her own mom—in a whole new light.

• Breastfeeding Battle Scars: The blistering pain no one warns you about (and why "just push through" isn’t always the answer).

• Motherhood Across Continents: The heartache of leaving a child behind to migrate—and the cultural tightrope of parenting in the UK.

• Prayer as a Lifeline: How faith pulled her through sleepless nights, colic, and teenage rebellion.

With equal parts humor and heartbreak, Mama Sitole’s journey reminds us that motherhood isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, even when you’re exhausted, unsure, or bleeding (literally).

For every mom who’s ever felt alone in the struggle: Press play. You’ll laugh, cry, and feel seen.

Dr. Emanuella, an OB-GYN resident, for an honest conversation about women’s health—from painful periods and fibroids to fertility struggles and childbirth realities. They tackle misconceptions, share warning signs women shouldn’t ignore, and discuss how faith and medicine can work together. Whether you're a mom, mom-to-be, or prioritizing your health, this episode offers practical wisdom and encouragement.

Listen, share, and break the silence!

Motherhood is meant to be enjoyed. It’s not supposed to feel like a constant burden.
Before you tap out, listen in. This episode features real conversations with mothers who are making intentional choices to find joy—even in the chaos. They’re embracing the beauty in the journey, and you can too.
