Nothing truly prepares you for motherhood like motherhood itself.
You can read all the books, take all the antenatal classes, and gather advice from seasoned parents, but the reality of motherhood is so profound and transformative that no amount of preparation feels like enough.
From the moment your baby is placed in your arms, you begin a journey that is at once unique and communal, exhilarating and exhausting, sacred and messy. Motherhood changes you — completely and forever.
My Story
From navigating life as a single girl getting her first apartment in Lagos… to moving to a new country… to battling degenerating fibroid pain during pregnancy… and then stepping into motherhood without the support of “my village” — it has been both the hardest and most beautiful journey of my life.
In it all, I’ve seen God’s hand.
From painful fibroids to supernatural healing.
From consistently low blood levels to a miraculous turnaround just weeks before delivery.
These experiences have deepened my faith and reshaped how I see life, family, and purpose.
Hi, I’m Esther , popularly known as Esthitude, host of Heart to Heart with Esthitude, and mum to the most amazing one-year-old on the block.
Why Unscripted Motherhood?
Motherhood has been a transformative journey for me. The journey, my experiences, conversations I’ve had with my mum and friends — with all its highs, lows, miracles, and lessons — is why I am launching a new podcast series: Unscripted Motherhood.
It’s called “unscripted” because that’s what motherhood truly is— raw, real, unfiltered. No one has it perfectly figured out. But by sharing our stories, we can encourage, uplift, and learn from one another.
This is the podcast you listen to as your nurse your baby, pack a school lunch; like a chat with a fellow mu as you go about your mum duties.
This series will feature:
✨ Honest conversations about motherhood (especially in the diaspora).
✨ Stories of faith and navigating challenges with God’s grace.
✨ Lessons on balancing integrating home, work, dreams, and personal growth.
✨ Guest interviews with women at different stages of motherhood, both young &experienced mums.
Whether you’re a mum, a woman preparing for motherhood, or someone supporting mothers in your circle, this space is for you.

A Community for Mothers
But Unscripted Motherhood isn’t just about me. It’s about us.
It’s about creating a space where real women share real stories, practical tips, and faith-filled encouragement to remind us that we’re not alone on this journey.
Motherhood may be unscripted, but it is better when shared.
I can’t wait to walk this journey with you.
