Pregnant, Post-Partum, and Judged: Stigma's Part 1

Where did the Village go?

They say it takes a village to raise a child—but for many parents today, that village looks very different than it did for previous generations. In this episode, we explore how modern motherhood and family life have changed, from increased isolation and busy schedules to the impact of social media and the loss of built-in community. We'll talk about why so many parents feel like they're doing it all alone, what we've lost along the way, and how we can begin rebuilding meaningful support systems in today's world. Whether you're longing for deeper connections or trying to create your own village, this conversation is a reminder that we were never meant to do this alone.
