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.
