What happens when your heart begins beating outside your body? In this powerful Mother's Day special, RJ Ritu Roy explores the most profound transformation a woman can experience—becoming a mother.
Through intimate personal reflections on raising both her 14-year-old daughter and 11-month-old baby, alongside stories from mothers at all stages, Ritu illuminates the complex reality of motherhood that extends far beyond the sanitized images we typically see.
This episode delves into the biological miracle of pregnancy, the life-altering moment of birth, and the challenging early days of motherhood when many women feel simultaneously overwhelmed with love and completely lost. With remarkable honesty, Ritu addresses the identity shift that occurs, how relationships transform, and the struggle to maintain selfhood while nurturing another human being.
Most importantly, this episode honors the continuing journey of motherhood—how women evolve through each stage from infancy to empty nest, discovering strengths they never knew they possessed, and eventually finding their way back to themselves, forever changed but never diminished.
For every woman who has felt both the indescribable joy and the crushing pressure of motherhood, who has questioned if she's doing it right, who has sacrificed pieces of herself along the way—this episode celebrates your journey, validates your struggles, and reminds you that taking care of yourself isn't selfish, but essential.
Whether you're a mother, have a mother, or mother in your own unique way, this special episode offers both a celebration and a permission slip to honor the complete, complex experience of maternal love.
