Self Isolation Podcast

A Mother's Love

GodsWill Episode 5

In this solo episode, Will takes a pause from the usual intensity to show love, gratitude, and raw honesty about the women who shaped him. From mothers and aunties to friends who mothered in spirit, this is a heartfelt tribute to those who loved, nurtured, and sometimes hurt us — but always left a mark on the man he’s becoming.


Will reflects on the beauty and the burden of motherhood from his observing perspective as a black man watching his mother and the others of his village:

•The love, support, and sacrifices that go unnoticed

•The pain of seeing mothers struggle with their own wounds

•The duality of being grateful while still grieving what could’ve been

•And the fear of time slipping away before your kids meet the women who helped raise your soul


This ain’t a Hallmark episode. It’s real, non low hanging fruit, and emotional. For anyone holding space for joy and sorrow on Mother’s Day — this one’s for you.


As we wrap up this special Mother’s Day episode, we hope it brought you a little comfort, a few laughs, and a reminder that even in isolation, you’re never truly alone. Whether you’re a mom, missing a mom, or simply processing the weight of this day — we’re sending you love, strength, and solidarity.
