  • Oluwaseun Usidamen: How to Thrive, walk in purpose, and stay rooted
    Oct 7 2025

    Ever feel like motherhood has completely taken over your identity? That the constant demands leave you feeling lost, overwhelmed, and even questioning if you made the right choice?

    In this incredibly raw and uplifting episode, Marumbo sits down with Oluwaseun Usidamen, a purpose-driven mum and content creator from Nigeria. Oluwaseun opens up with stunning honesty about her difficult journey into motherhood—battling postpartum depression, fighting against the changes, and struggling to see her child as the blessing she is.

    But this is a story of powerful transformation. Oluwaseun shares how she moved from a place of regret and fear to genuinely wanting a second child. She gets real about the intentional work it took, including:

    • The practical steps she took to overcome negative thoughts and partner with God through her struggles.
    • How to reframe motherhood not as a limitation, but as an evolution of who you are.
    • Breaking the cycle of comparison and envy that so many mums face.
    • Her game-changing approach to a devotional life that doesn't require hours of quiet time you just don't have.
    • The legacy she's building and how she's intentionally raising her daughter to know God in the everyday.

    This conversation is a beacon of hope for any mum who feels like she's drowning in the demands. It’s a powerful reminder that you don't have to stay in a place of overwhelm. You can learn to thrive, walk in your God-given purpose, and find deep, authentic joy in your calling as a mother.

  • Dr Chikondi Yakobe: Fertility, Contraception and women's health
    Sep 26 2025

    What happens when medical science meets faith? In this powerful and deeply personal episode of How Is Motherhood?, I sit down with Dr. Chikondi, an Obstetrician/Gynecologist, for a conversation that every woman needs to hear.

    We dive into the raw, unspoken challenges of motherhood: the pressure of C-sections, the anxiety around contraception, and the frustration of feeling like just another number on a chart. Dr. Chikondi gets vulnerably honest about the "helplessness" doctors feel and why the patient-doctor relationship is everything.

    This isn't your typical medical interview. We tackle the big questions:

    • How do you choose the right birth control when planning for a family?

    • What are the biggest misconceptions women have about their own bodies?

    • Is it a lack of faith to trust medical advice?

    • Why is planning the most revolutionary act for your reproductive health?

    Dr. Chikondi shares her incredible journey from a six-year-old dreaming of being a doctor to finding her calling in the "happy side of medicine," all while learning to lean on God's wisdom in a field governed by science. This is a must-listen for any woman seeking to navigate her health with grace, intention, and faith.

    Tune in for a conversation that will change how you see your body, your doctor, and God's role in your journey through motherhood.

  • Hanna Lapsansky: The cycle of grief and conviction
    Jun 10 2025

    In this heartfelt episode of How Is Motherhood?, we sit down with Hanna from Good Day Moms to unpack the messy, beautiful journey of parenting through tantrums, emotional overwhelm, and spiritual growth. As a mom of three (ages 8, 6, and 4), Hanna shares her raw "aha moments"—like the time she realised her frustration wasn’t about her toddler’s defiance but about her own need to respond with Christ-like patience.

    We dive into:

    • The cycle of guilt vs. conviction—how to course-correct after losing your temper (without dwelling in shame).

    • Gentle parenting vs. assertive boundaries—why Hanna is stepping away from "gentle parenting" to find balance.

    • Fruits of the Spirit in the trenches—how outbursts of wrath reveal where we really need the Holy Spirit.

    • Prayer for busy moms—why Hanna prays best in a loud spin class (and how micro-moments with God transform her day).

    • The lies of social media motherhood—why she didn’t feel "instant love" after her first birth (and why that’s normal).

    Whether you’re in the toddler tantrum phase or navigating big emotions with older kids, this conversation is a reminder: motherhood isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, leaning on grace, and letting God refine you through the chaos.

    Listen now—and know you’re not alone.
