Stephanie Sandows is enjoying motherhood and getting back into the swing of things following the birth of her daughter, Rhulani Iyana Ndlovu. She and husband actor Hungani Ndlovu, welcomed their daughter months after tying the knot in 2020.
Actress Stephanie shared that she is back into full swing and in full on work mode. A post from Canvas CAM Talent grabbed her attention as they gushed over her work ethic.
They congratulated her for booking her first work gig for 2023 as someone near her encouraged her to get back to work and accept gigs. Stephanie reposted this and then added a short caption.
"Getting back to work after a baby is a challenge for anyone, but getting back to being in front of the camera has been the greatest battle for me. I still sometimes feel like a stranger in my own body (and mind) but this is a big one for me; not for the obvious reason but because I really didn’t plan to do this audition or any auditions, anytime soon, but I did it anyway because I’m constantly fighting against the desire to give up on myself."
Stephanie is in between shoots so she revealed to her fans that she almost had a break down in between shoots.
"Today was tough, almost had a meltdown at this fitting, what started out as excitement quickly turned into frustration & I almost wanted to give up again. What’s important is that I didn’t. Everyone has a different postpartum journey that lasts for how ever long it lasts, what’s important is that you show up for yourself, because you’re a freaking masterpiece. So, hard as it may be, I will continue to show up because I deserve to," she added.
Stephanie then encouraged new moms to keep moving, "To every new, old, single, struggling Mom- “YOU ARE EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN”- Shine
Stephanie shared a post of encouragement for the new years and said she had no resolutions.
Wrapping up 2022, Stephanie shared a short video of her giving birth journey with her husband Hungani. "Cheers to a good chapter! 2022 As we welcome a new season, 2023, we praise our Lord Jesus Christ for all the blessings, the protection, the provision, the good health, the wisdom, the wealth, the joy and peace, the freedom, the abundance of love and the courage and strength to push on forward championing for His cause! Amen."
Stephanie once opened up about turning down job offers 8 weeks post partum, "I turned down an AMAZING role at 8weeks postpartum because I was just not mentally or emotionally ready to work."
