Chasing China

Motherhood is often talked about through the challenges: sleepless nights, exhaustion, and losing parts of your old life. But there is another side too. In this episode, I share the little moments I appreciate more, the new experiences motherhood brought me, and the unexpected joys of this new chapter. From quiet mornings ☕ to seeing the world through my child's eyes 

This is probably the most vulnerable episode I have shared so far. After deciding to try for a second child, a fertility treatment unexpectedly turned into a medical emergency. I spent weeks in the hospital, faced severe OHSS, pregnancy loss, and one of the most challenging times of my life — while being away from my baby. In this episode, I share the full story: the fear, the uncertainty, the physical pain, the emotional struggle, and what this experience taught me about motherhood, gratitude, and resilience. 

Today I'm sharing one of the most honest chapters of my motherhood journey: life after birth. After sharing my birth story, this episode is about what came next — bringing our newborn home, becoming a family of three, and figuring out this completely new life together. I'll take you through: 

Giving birth in China vs. Germany is VERY different… but not in the way most people think. In this episode, I'm sharing the 3 biggest differences that shaped my experience: 

In this very personal episode of Chasing China, I'm sharing the story of one of the most life-changing experiences of my life: the birth of my son. From my final weeks of pregnancy and preparing for birth, to labor, our first days in the hospital, and looking back on the experience of giving birth in China — I'm taking you through the entire journey. This is not just a birth story. It's also about becoming parents far away from home, navigating a different healthcare system and culture, and experiencing one of the biggest transformations of my life. 

After 1.5 years, Chasing China is back!
