About this episode

What happens when medical science meets faith? In this powerful and deeply personal episode of How Is Motherhood?, I sit down with Dr. Chikondi, an Obstetrician/Gynecologist, for a conversation that every woman needs to hear. We dive into the raw, unspoken challenges of motherhood: the pressure of C-sections, the anxiety around contraception, and the frustration of feeling like just another number on a chart. Dr. Chikondi gets vulnerably honest about the "helplessness" doctors feel and why the patient-doctor relationship is everything. This isn't your typical medical interview. We tackle the big questions: How do you choose the right birth control when planning for a family? What are the biggest misconceptions women have about their own bodies? Is it a lack of faith to trust medical advice? Why is planning the most revolutionary act for your reproductive health? Dr. Chikondi shares her incredible journey from a six-year-old dreaming of being a doctor to finding her calling in the "happy side of medicine," all while learning to lean on God's wisdom in a field governed by science. This is a must-listen for any woman seeking to navigate her health with grace, intention, and faith. Tune in for a conversation that will change how you see your body, your doctor, and God's role in your journey through motherhood.
