Video Summary - Toke Moments Is Back: I Was MIA, Here’s My Apology

Apology & Life Update

The creator calls herself out for being inconsistent with posting and apologizes to her community.
She shares that she’s learning to be an intentional mother, explaining that:

“You can have it all, but not at the same time”—something in life always shifts to make room for something else.

She takes a short holiday with her daughter to change scenery and visit her niece (a 3-day trip).
Schedule strategy:
- She books the first flight to preserve the baby’s routine, thinking it would reduce disruption.
- She plans around arrival timing, especially meals/breakfast.

Once they’re moving around in their accommodation/room, her daughter won’t sleep.
Airport/security is stressful because she’s alone and must be frisked.
- Two staff members step in and help hold the baby through the security process.
On the plane:
- The baby stays awake and becomes “active.”
- A major mishap happens: the baby poops, and there are no spare clothes in the diaper bag.
- She improvises a quick change in the airplane toilet while managing crying and meal timing.
- Staff help with hot water for breakfast.
On return flights:
- Similar issues with bathroom/poop timing.
- More frustration about warming baby food properly, leading to increased stress and tears.

She aims to be a no-screen mom:
- Prefers floor play, books, and human interaction
- Avoids content like Miss Rachel / Sesame songs / lullabies
- Uses screens only minimally (she mentions lullabies in the shower)
During this trip, she admits her “don’t do it” stance cracks:
- She ends up using Miss Rachel to calm her daughter because she couldn’t keep her sanity.

She admits that during the holiday she drank every night.
She describes it as a coping method for being overstimulated:
- Calling friends, going to bars, sitting and drinking
- Mentioning a night where she drank an entire bottle of champagne “by herself”
Despite exhaustion, she emphasizes that waking up to her child’s smile makes it “totally worth it.”

She shouts out women raising kids outside Nigeria, especially those doing it with no help in places like:
- London, America, and Canada
She strongly emphasizes that nannies are lifelines:
- Nannies “pick up where we leave off”
- They deserve more respect because they’re essentially “on” constantly (emotional regulation and 24/7 care)

She announces she’s back and will share more solo episodes, followed later by guest interviews across fields.
She also shares emotional grief as her baby transitions into toddlerhood:
- The baby’s presence shifts into a curious, vocal toddler who wants to touch everything and explore.

Be a drinking buddy: sometimes moms need company to decompress.
Offer occasional babysitting (for under-five kids), if possible.
Encourage regular breaks (even once a month): a night out, a hotel stay, or an environment change not tied to daily stress.
