The Truth About Parenthood: Wait... Where’s the Village?
They say it takes a village to raise a child... But then you crawl out of the newborn haze, look around, and realise... wait, where is this mythical village everyone keeps talking about? In this raw and relatable kōrero, Loren and Martin unpack the myth of “the village” and what happens when you’re parenting far from home, or without the support network you expected. From the invisible load of modern parenting to the very real impacts of postnatal mental health and postnatal autoimmune disorders, they open up about what it really looks like to raise kids in today’s world. Spoiler alert: It’s messy, beautiful, and often a little bit lonely. This episode is honest, heartfelt, and will make every parent out there feel just a little more seen. (The Truth About Parenthood, the stage show, is on at New Plymouth’s 4th Wall Theatre, Dec 11 - 14.)
