I Feel Seen

Being dismissed when expressing health concerns can create fear, frustration, and self-doubt. Mothers may question their instincts or hesitate to speak up. Yet trusting one's body is crucial.

The inaugural episode of the "I Feel Seen" podcast introduces host Ifeoma Obi, who opens her story with honesty about launching this platform in the midst of life as a wife, mother of five, pharmacist, and community builder. She frames the podcast as an act of faith and courage—born from the tug-of-war between fear and obedience, imposter syndrome and confidence, and the soul's quiet insistence that her story matters. Ifeoma reflects on the origins of her Instagram initiative, Meaningful_ MOM_Ments, created after her third miscarriage as a space for transparency, healing, and advocacy for women of color in maternal health. That same mission now expands into the podcast, where she aims to foster connection through real stories, shared wisdom, and moments of levity. She welcomes diverse perspectives—including men—and explores the unseen layers of motherhood, identity, and maternal wellness. This first episode also previews what's ahead: her postpartum crisis after delivering her fifth child, the life-saving care she received, and the beginning of her personal narrative in "Chapter One: Untold Stories." By breaking her silence, she hopes to inspire others to do the same—and to show that telling the truth about our journeys can be both liberating and life-saving. Listen to how she unpacks her first chapter in the story she's boldly sharing about overcoming fear and no longer allowing silence to be her survival tactic. This is her take on the book she has yet to write but ready to share ... CHAPTER 1 "UNTOLD STORIES"
