EP136: Things I Never Understood About You Before (Mother's Day Special)

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers and Mother-figures! 💐There are many things about our mothers that we only begin to understand as we grow older. The quiet exhaustion. The unseen sacrifices. The constant choosing of family, even at the expense of themselves. Alhamdulillah, in this first part of the Mother's Day Series, I sit with my mother to talk about the hidden struggles of motherhood. The things I never noticed, never asked about, and perhaps never fully understood before. From carrying emotional burdens silently to what it truly means to put family first, this conversation is an attempt to slow down and see our mothers more gently, more honestly, and more deeply while we still can.May the episodes continue to accompany you and bring benefit, insyaAllah 🤍------------------------------------------🧕🏻 Thank you to Diri for supporting conversations that honour women, motherhood, and the stories we carry forward.Diri is a Singapore fashion brand rooted in empowering women through identity, confidence, and heritage.
