<![CDATA[Motherhood, Unpacked]]>Motherhood, Unpacked is a reflective podcast where two immigrant mothers explore the layered realities of parenting, identity, culture, and becoming.

Through honest conversations, lived experiences, and thoughtful reflection, Akriti and Miho unpack the parts of motherhood that are often felt deeply but rarely spoken out loud.

In this episode, we reflect on the unexpected ways our children bring our own childhood experiences, emotional patterns, and parenting instincts to the surface. From sibling conflict and discipline to inherited beliefs and Montessori philosophy, we explore the moments that challenge us most and what they reveal about who we are becoming.

A conversation about healing, self-awareness, compassion, and the ongoing work of growing alongside our children.
