Yodit Kifle Smith is a daughter, sister, wife, friend to many, and now also the mother of a precious daughter, a role she treasures deeply.
Among her many other roles, Yodit is the co-host of the Power of Stories Podcast.
In this episode, Yodit discusses her new role as a mom… learning to see the world through her daughter’s eyes… facing fears in parenthood, and overcoming those fears… trusting God and the strength that He gives… distinguishing between rational fears and irrational ones… how her own experiences inspired her to create a series of online workshops to help pregnant moms be more prepared for their first year of motherhood, honestly and openly sharing real-life experiences rather than romanticized descriptions of what to expect… the “aloneness” often felt by new moms… matrescence, the transition into motherhood… the importance of asking for help, and knowing that you are not alone… and how we can all take the time to encourage the people who are right next to us.
