In an interview with Smart Parenting in May 2025, Iya reflected on how motherhood molded her character. 

"Motherhood has been the most humbling teacher for me. And it's true that it really exposes a lot about yourself and it exposes a lot of the things that we need to fix within ourselves, so that for me is what motherhood has been," she remarked.

The television host shared that while parenting can be overwhelming, her faith and trust in God have helped her navigate even the toughest days.

"It can get very overwhelming, it can get overstimulating, it can get challenging, but if you take the time to just be still and talk to God, there's a lot that He can expose and help you through," she stated.
