Episode 9 – Mia Jackson

What if you could gain a fresh perspective on life’s toughest transitions, from military life to parenthood, through the eyes of a woman who has walked that path? In an inspiring conversation with my better half, Maya, we explore her extraordinary journey. As a child of strict parents, Maya faced the daunting task of navigating predominantly white schools as a minority. Yet, these experiences have helped her carve out a stronger sense of self and a healthier body image.

Fasten your seat belts as Maya takes you through her transition from military life to parenthood. She recalls her culture shock in Germany, her challenging decision upon discovering her pregnancy, and her surprising encounter with a lottery system when seeking employment back home. In a heart-to-heart discussion, we compare the intricacies of raising an 11-year-old with having three daughters at home.

Our conversation doesn’t stop there. We plunge into the essential role of trust in relationships and the ever-so-damaging effect of generalizations. Maya’s story is a testament to resilience, strength, and growth. From her military days to her parenting journey, her keen discernment has been an invaluable tool in navigating relationships and making health choices.

As we discuss parenting challenges and communication strategies, Mia offers her wisdom on keeping relationships vibrant and strong. If you’re ready to hear an eye-opening narrative full of wisdom and resilience, tune into this episode of Two Cups Cafe. Trust us, you won’t want to miss it!
