Episode Description
This week on Girls Night, we’re doing something a little different — and incredibly special.
As my twins turn five (how?!), I’ve been reflecting on everything I wish I could go back and tell myself before becoming a mom. The fears, the hopes, the questions, the emotions — the moments when I looked around and thought, “This is not what I ordered.”
So in today’s episode, I’m sharing four letters I wrote to the woman I was before motherhood — the woman who was wondering…
💌 Who will I be after I become a mom?
💌 What will kids do to our marriage?
💌 What if something goes wrong? What if the world is too scary?
💌 What if I mess this up?
If you’re planning, trying, pregnant, or simply wondering if you’ll ever feel “ready,” these letters are for you. They’re honest, tender, hopeful, and full of the things I wish someone would have told me years ago.
We’ll talk about what actually happens to your identity, how marriage shifts (and strengthens), how to navigate fear in a world that feels overwhelming, and why motherhood isn’t something you download — it’s something you grow into.
And if these letters resonate with you, you can get the full series for free at StephanieMayWilson.com/letters — they’re yours to keep or share with a friend who needs them.
At the end of the episode, I’ll also share more about Becoming Mama — the course my best friend Kelsey (a brilliant therapist) and I created to help you prepare emotionally, mentally, and practically for this huge transition. It’s the roadmap we wish we’d had, and enrollment is open for just a few more days.
Wherever you are on the path to motherhood, friend — you’re not alone.
I’m right here with you.
