Behind the Screens of a Mom-fluencer with Hada Amira

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 04:00:07 +0000

We’ve all done it—mindlessly scrolling social media after the kids are asleep, only to be hit with images of moms who seem to have it all together. home-cooked meals, aesthetic living spaces, high-quality toys and you find yourself pondering, “Am I not enough?”

Sofea is joined by Hada Amira, a working mother of one and a creator who unintentionally stumbled into the life of an influencer — starting off with videos of food for her baby Iris during COVID, Hada found her voice and now brings light to the moments that moms hide from the world. Together, they unpack the dark side of “momfluencing” and what it really means to be a mother in the digital age with existing pressure to look perfect, ‘post’ perfect, and parent perfectly in front of an audience.

If you’ve ever felt “not enough” while scrolling your feed — this episode will meet you with reality behind the reels; the mental load of motherhood is real and you are enough.

Growth doesn’t have to be aesthetic; so, let’s grow and glow together, mamas!

“From Lovers to Parents: Keeping the Spark Alive & Supporting Mental Health with Omar Danial”

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 03:00:07 +0000

Becoming parents changed us — not just as individuals but as partners too. In this episode, I sit down with my husband, Omar Danial, to share our journey from being just husband and wife to navigating the beautiful chaos of parenthood. Omar opens up about how he’s grown through this experience — learning the power of communication, comprehension, and how to truly be present for me when I needed him the most.

We also talk about something that’s rarely discussed — how dads experience their own version of postpartum and how their “me time” looks so different from ours as mothers. It wasn’t always easy, but we found our way through love, patience, and understanding.

Our story isn’t perfect, but it’s real. We hope it reminds you that you’re not alone — and that every journey has its own beauty, even in the struggles. Tune in for an honest, heartfelt conversation about love, growth, and keeping the spark alive while embracing parenthood together.
