During a recent interview, lifestyle content creator, media influencer, and law practitioner Corazon Kwamboka spoke candidly about her journey to motherhood, reflecting on the challenges she faced before conceiving during bethatwoman podcast.
Kwamboka revealed that if she had overthought her situation, she might not have pursued motherhood at all.
“I always ask people, ‘Do you think there is a time you’ll be ready for me?’” she shared, recounting conversations with her close circle. “You said that you didn’t think of it.”
The media personality revealed that she had battled endometriosis and fibroids, conditions that significantly impacted her reproductive health.
During her first year of trying to conceive, Kwamboka underwent surgery to remove the endometriosis. Following the procedure, she was on medication to support her fertility.
Advice From Her Mother
Kwamboka recalled experiencing hot flashes and sweating, which she linked to what she described as an early menopause-like experience. “I have experienced menopause already; you really can’t get pregnant,” she said during the interview.
These symptoms, combined with medication-related side effects, made it difficult for her to recognise what was happening.

Reflections on the Journey
Kwamboka described her path to motherhood as a mix of hope, uncertainty, and patience. Despite the physical and emotional challenges, she emphasized the importance of listening to medical advice and trusting the process.
“Endometriosis and fibroids made me wonder if I would ever be able to conceive,” she said. “But taking the right steps and following medical guidance helped me reach this stage.”
Her story sheds light on the often-unspoken struggles many women face with fertility issues. Kwamboka highlighted that support from family, especially her mother, played a crucial role in navigating the journey.
As Kwamboka embraces motherhood, she remains grateful for the experiences that shaped her path. She expressed hope that sharing her story would encourage others who face similar challenges to stay resilient and proactive.
“I wouldn’t have gotten here if I had overthought it,” she concluded. “Sometimes, you just have to take the steps in front of you and trust that things will work out.”
