ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This episode is Part 3 of my Thrive as a Working Mom series, and we’re closing it out by talking about one of the hardest, most essential parts of motherhood today: expanding your village.
The truth is, most of us are raising kids in isolation—without the kind of built-in community our mothers and grandmothers had. That leaves so many working moms feeling like they’re constantly behind, exhausted, and trying to do the work of an entire community alone .
In this episode, I share:
Why modern motherhood feels so heavy without a village
How to start redefining what “community” looks like in today’s world
Practical ways to bring more support into your life (even if you don’t have family nearby)
How to release guilt around asking for or investing in help
My personal stories of building support systems that allow me to thrive as both a mom and a professional
You are not meant to do this all alone. Expanding your village doesn’t make you weak—it makes you wise. My hope is that this conversation helps you see new possibilities for support, so you can protect your health, your family, and your career.
