Let’s talk about Carrie Underwood for a minute. You know her, right? The powerhouse country singer with a voice that could stop traffic. But here’s the thing—she’s not just all glitz and glamour. In a candid moment, Carrie shared how even she struggles with confidence sometimes, especially when it comes to motherhood. It’s relatable, right? The beloved artist recently opened up about how she never imagined herself becoming such an amazing mom before welcoming her two kids, Isaiah, who’s 5, and Jacob, who’s 16 months old.

Carrie's Honest Take on Motherhood

Carrie, now 37, was candid in a trailer for her four-part show, Mike and Carrie: God & Country, alongside her husband, Mike Fisher. She revealed something surprising: “I was never good with other people’s kids,” she admitted. “Why would I be good with one of my own?” It’s a question many of us have probably asked ourselves at some point. But here’s the thing—sometimes life surprises you in the best possible ways.

A Life-Changing Moment

But here’s the twist—when Carrie welcomed her firstborn, Isaiah, in 2015, all her fears and insecurities melted away. “I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m in love,’” she recalled with a sweet smile. It’s one of those moments that changes everything, right? Mike, her husband and former NHL star, echoed her sentiments. He always dreamed of having a big family, and the day Isaiah was born was nothing short of magical. “I went with Isaiah after he had just been born,” Mike gushed. “I was just as emotional as could be.”

The Journey to Baby No. 2

However, the road to expanding their family wasn’t always smooth. Carrie and Mike faced challenges between the births of Isaiah and Jacob. Before their youngest son joined the family in January 2019, Carrie suffered three heartbreaking miscarriages. It’s not easy to talk about, but they both opened up about it in hopes of helping others. “Carrie was like, ‘I lost the baby.’ And I was like, ‘Again?’” Mike remembered, his voice heavy with emotion. “You have all these mountaintops in life, but we hadn’t had a ton of valleys like this.”

In their upcoming series, Carrie got emotional as she detailed the pain after losing her pregnancies. “I just had an honest conversation with God,” she said, fighting back tears. “I was hurt … and I told him how I felt.” Carrie’s openness about her struggles has resonated with many. She first revealed her experiences with miscarriages on CBS Sunday Morning in September 2018, and since then, she’s continued to be a voice for those who have walked similar paths.

Carrie's Strength in Vulnerability

“I was still trying to do my job and put on a smiley happy face and be Carrie Underwood,” she shared with The Guardian in June 2019. “And then I’d go home and fall apart.” But despite the challenges, Carrie knew it was important to open up about her journey. “It’s something that people don’t really talk about. Even people who are my friends and I know well, after I talked about it were like, ‘My gosh, me too!’” she revealed. “And I feel like it’s something I should’ve known about them.”
