Motherhood isn’t just picture-perfect moments and matching PJs—it’s raw, real, and sometimes overwhelming. In this episode of How is Motherhood, I sit down with Rita Chidinma, the face behind Young Nigerian Mom, to unpack the unspoken sides of motherhood.

Rita shares how she went from a carefree young woman to a mother of three in rapid succession, navigating the chaos, the expectations, and the reality that no one warned her about. We talk about why many mothers struggle to admit the hard parts, the pressure to say “I’m fine,” and how we can create spaces where moms feel safe to share their truths.

If you’ve ever wondered why your motherhood journey doesn’t look like what you see online, this episode is for you.
