The Amai Podcast - Breathing Strength Into Motherhood

The Amai Podcast - Breathing Strength Into Motherhood

Our mission at AMAI is to help women feel valued in their role as mothers. With over 20 million women who are current mothers of children between 0-18 years old in the US, there should be no reason mothers need to feel isolated, lonely, inadequate, or discouraged. This podcast aims to overcome the pandemic of solitude in this country by bringing strong, deliberate mothers on the show to share their hope, encouragement, and experience with you. The world is changing fast. Now more than ever before, mothers need to step up to strengthen each other. And that's why we're here. Welcome to AMAI.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
