I Thought I Knew My Dream… Until I Became a Mommy

I Thought I Knew My Dream… Until I Became a Mommy

Before I became a mother, I spent years searching for the life I thought I was meant to build. I chased creativity through different careers, convinced that if I found the right path, everything would finally make sense. Then I became a mom. Motherhood didn’t erase my dreams—it transformed them. In this episode, I share the journey that led me here, from the woman I was before my daughters to the mother I’m still becoming. We talk about healing, breaking generational cycles, choosing presence over perfection, and discovering that sometimes the life we were searching for was waiting for us all along. If you’ve ever wondered whether motherhood changed who you are—or helped you become who you were always meant to be—I hope this conversation reminds you that your story is still unfolding. Thank you for holding space with me. Until next time… trust your motherhood.

The Boundaries Motherhood Gave Me

A simple comment over dinner with my grandmother opened a wound I didn’t realize was still there. For years, I carried other people’s expectations, criticism, and opinions about who I should be. Then motherhood changed something. Not because becoming a mother made me lose myself, but because it taught me what was worth protecting. In this episode, I share the story behind a painful conversation, the boundaries I had to learn to set, and how healing my inner child has shaped the way I raise my daughters. If you’ve ever struggled with guilt, people-pleasing, family expectations, or protecting your peace, this episode is for you. Trust your motherhood.

When Life Interrupted the Dream

Some dreams don’t end because we quit. Sometimes life simply interrupts them. In this episode of Trust Your Motherhood, I share a season that challenged me in ways I didn’t expect. What started as a computer problem became a lesson in patience, perseverance, and holding onto a dream when progress feels delayed. This episode isn’t really about a laptop. It’s about what it represented—my podcast, my creativity, my book, my momentum, and the dream I had worked so hard to bring to life. If you’ve ever felt discouraged because life got in the way of something important to you, this conversation is for you. A delayed dream isn’t a dead dream. #TrustYourMotherhood #MotherhoodPodcast #PersonalGrowth #DreamsDelayedNotDead #NeverGiveUp

RSV, Ambulances & Christmas Eve | Our Family's Story

When our baby got RSV just days before Christmas, everything changed. What started as a visit to the pediatrician quickly became an ambulance ride, a hospital transfer, and one of the most frightening experiences of our motherhood journey. In this episode, I share the story of the days leading up to Christmas Eve as our family faced uncertainty, fear, and the helpless feeling that comes when your child is sick and there is nothing you can do but trust, hope, and stay present. I talk about the emotional toll of being separated as a family, navigating the hospital, and the overwhelming relief of finally bringing our baby home on Christmas Eve. If you’ve ever sat beside a hospital bed, waited for answers, or carried the weight of loving a child through a difficult season, this episode is for you. You are not alone. With love, Yuri Trust Your Motherhood

Two Pounds, Twelve Ounces

In this deeply emotional episode, I share the story of my wife’s high-risk pregnancy, the unexpected day our daughter came early, and what it was like becoming NICU parents overnight. From emergency appointments and steroid shots… to hearing our tiny but powerful baby cry for the very first time at only two pounds, twelve ounces — this journey stretched us in ways I never expected. I open up about trying to stay strong while quietly falling apart inside, leaving the hospital without our baby, spending every day in the NICU, and the incredible ways love carried our family through it all. This episode is about fear, resilience, motherhood, partnership, and the strength that can grow inside a family during the hardest moments. And somehow… we all grew stronger together 💗
