Motherhood can be beautiful—but it can also feel lonely, heavy, and overwhelming. In this heartfelt episode, Aida shares how to recognize the signs of depression, why they can be easy to overlook, and how faith and support can help you find light again.

You’ll hear reflections on the emotional toll of different seasons of motherhood, how our faith plays a role in healing, and what practical steps you can take if you’re struggling. Because wellness doesn’t mean pretending everything is fine—it means being honest, reaching out, and remembering that hope is never lost.

In this episode, we’re diving into something that often gets overlooked—how stress and anxiety can show up in our kids.

We often talk about how we feel as moms, but the truth is, our kids are navigating a lot too. From school pressures to home expectations, their little bodies and minds can carry more than we realize. I share real-life examples of how stress and anxiety can present in kids—not always as big emotions, but sometimes as stomachaches, irritability, or trouble sleeping.

We’ll talk about what to look for, how to respond with curiosity instead of comparison, and ways to help our kids name what they’re feeling so they can start to manage it. Plus, I’ll give you three practical takeaways you can start using today.

Because when we tune in to what our kids are feeling, we help them feel seen—and that’s a powerful first step.

We often use “stress” and “anxiety” interchangeably, but they’re not the same—and understanding the difference can change how we care for ourselves.

In this episode, I share a personal story that helped me tune in to how my body was responding to stress and reflect on how anxiety lingers in our thoughts long after the moment has passed. Especially as moms, we push through so much without realizing how it affects us.

Let’s talk about recognizing what we’re feeling, naming it, and taking small steps toward wellness—one breath, one moment at a time.
