    Let Her Have Nice Things

    Why do we sometimes feel guilty for wanting more—or for finally enjoying what we’ve worked hard to have?

    In this chapter, we talk about letting women receive the good things: rest, joy, support, success, softness, and the little pleasures that make life feel full. We reflect on the messages we grew up with about sacrifice and making do, and what it can look like to choose ourselves without apology.

    A conversation about womanhood, worthiness, and giving ourselves permission to have nice things.

    Listen to African Mom in Transit wherever you get your podcasts, and join the conversation: What’s one nice thing you’re learning to let yourself have?

    BOY MOM, BIG FEELINGS 💙

    Being a boy mom is beautiful, but let’s talk about the big feelings that come with it! From the love and laughter to the worries and lessons, raising boys is a journey that challenges you, changes you, and teaches you just as much about yourself as it does about them.

    In this episode of African Mom in Transit, we’re exploring the emotional side of raising boys, breaking generational patterns, navigating motherhood, and thinking about the men our little boys will one day become.

    Because raising boys isn’t just about teaching them how to navigate the world; it’s about creating a space where they feel safe enough to be themselves. 💙

    💬 Let’s talk: What’s one thing about raising boys that has surprised you the most?

    🎙️ Subscribe to African Mom in Transit for honest conversations about culture, identity, relationships, womanhood, and the beautiful messiness of figuring life out.

    This is our story in transit. Let’s ride! ❤️

  • Chapter 4: Friendships have Seasons, not Expiration Dates?

    Friendships have seasons, not expiration dates?

    Yes, that is a question.

    What does friendship look like when the women you are doing life with are living very different lives?

    In this conversation, Ivy and her girlfriends (all women in their thirties) share how friendship shifts as life changes.

    They are growing together through different seasons, making room for each other’s changing needs, and finding new ways to communicate when life gets full. Because friendship doesn’t always look the same—but it can keep growing.
