Umi Spotlight: Nanpwes Yohanna

With Umi Spotlight, we are sharing the best of what other mothers have figured out both in their motherhood journey and in life.

On this edition, Nanpwes Yohanna talks about the assumptions she had before she had kids, what her fears are as a parent and she emphasised the need for every mum to be spiritual (hint: she is a pastor’s wife). Find out more about her and her work here

What's an assumption you had before you became a mum that you found untrue when you began your journey of motherhood?
I had heard before I had kids that the coming of children marks the end of romantic relationship between spouse. But that’s a fallacy. Again, people used the proverb ‘spare the rod and spoil the child’ literally. But I realised it's not true. Instead, beating harden their heart the more.
