In this episode, we have a heartfelt conversation about what it really means to parent with vision. We talk about the importance of paying attention — not just accepting what professionals or culture say, but noticing the little things our children are showing us every day.
We share honest stories about the times we got it wrong — when exhaustion or assumptions clouded our awareness — and how parenting often invites us to slow down, listen again, and learn. Grace for ourselves and each other is a big part of the journey.
We also explore how parenting isn't a solo mission: it takes teamwork. We talk about the beauty of co-parenting when both partners are willing, the silent sacrifices good fathers often make, and the strength it takes to build a family culture where everyone feels seen and supported.
This conversation is a real reminder that parenting with vision isn’t about perfection — it’s about humility, growth, and staying open to learning along the wa
In this vulnerable and wisdom-filled episode of How is Motherhood, I sit down with Pastor Debbie Banda — founder of Enrich Women’s Ministry, entrepreneur, speaker, author, and mother of three. We dive into the raw realities of becoming a mom, the pressure of perfection, and the shock of motherhood, even after years of working in professional care.
Pastor Debbie shares her deeply personal journey of fear and growth, from being scared to bathe her newborn to learning to live in the moment with confidence and grace. Together, we unpack the silent struggles of breastfeeding, the unspoken weight of comparison, and the unexpected gaps between expectation and reality — especially as shaped by our culture, community, and social media.
This episode is a gentle reminder that every motherhood journey is different, and that real strength often looks like asking for help, embracing the mess, and releasing the myth of the “perfect mother.” Whether you're a new mom, a seasoned parent, or somewhere in between, this conversation will leave you encouraged, seen, and reminded that you’re not alone.
Grab a cup of tea and join us as we keep it honest, heartfelt, and real.
In this honest and heartfelt episode, we unpack the idea of “helping” in the home and challenge the mindset that assigns chores to one gender. Through real stories and wisdom shared from lived experience, we explore how shared responsibility, honouring one another, and subtle communication can transform the atmosphere in a marriage.
From practical tips on how to “sell the product” without nagging, to how to affirm efforts without reinforcing stereotypes (“Wow, the house looks nice” vs “Thanks for doing the dishes”), we look at the small shifts that make a big difference.
You’ll hear why ignoring what’s not done perfectly can sometimes be a strength, how to stay in unity even when tasks fall short, and why involving your husband early in parenting is a game-changer. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, overworked, or under-appreciated in your role at home—this episode is for you.
What happens when motherhood feels more like survival than serenity? In this vulnerable and powerful episode, we sit down with a mother who opens up about the emotional weight of parenting—from battling self-doubt and burnout to learning how to ask for help and embrace grace.
She shares how her children became her mirror, her ministry, and sometimes her greatest challenge. With honesty that cuts deep, she talks about moments of crying out for support, the struggle of showing up when you're running on empty, and the power of having a village.
"You’re human. Stop expecting miracles."
"Am I the worst mum in the world?"
"My children are my first ministry."

As a mom, have you ever felt like setting firm standards might push your child away? Society often makes it seem like discipline and connection can’t coexist—but what if that’s not true?
In this episode, Pastor Mary shares how her mother balanced discipline with love, using scripture as her guide. She reveals why she tells her own children, "I discipline you because I love you," and how she enforces rules while keeping an open heart.
How do you stay firm yet loving? Where do you draw the line? And how can you parent with both authority and grace?
