Motherhood Takes A Village
Welcome back to Woman Made Well! Today, we’re talking about one of the most essential yet often overlooked aspects of motherhood, community. You’ve probably heard the saying, It takes a village to raise a child, but what does that really mean? And how do you find that village when you feel completely alone?
In this episode, I dive into why we crave connection, especially during postpartum, and the impact that a strong support system can have on our well-being. I’ll share the story of one of my clients who moved from Europe and struggled with feeling isolated, while navigating both culture shock and new motherhood. Her experience sheds light on why building a community is so important and how it can transform your journey.
You’ll also hear practical tips and strategies on how to find and cultivate your own village—whether it’s through local mom groups, online spaces, or small everyday interactions. I’ll guide you through where to start, how to create connections, and what to do when you feel disconnected. Because the truth is, no one is meant to do this alone.
