Pathway to Motherhood: Isn't Alway Straight

March 12, 2025 • Amanda Rankin • Season 1 • Episode 4

In this episode of Taking It Off-Topic, my guest Rachel and I have an honest conversation about motherhood and the realities behind the journey. We discuss the common misconception that motherhood will happen “whenever you’re ready,” and why the pathway to becoming a mother is often not as straightforward as we were led to believe.

We talk about the emotional challenges, the waiting, and the unexpected turns along the way, as well as how faith, patience, and self-compassion can guide us through this journey. This episode is for anyone navigating infertility, adoption, surrogacy, or the waiting seasons of life—where hope, growth, and faith intersect.
