Episode 10: Creating Villages and Connections on Our Motherhood Journeys
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN
Are you struggling on your own as a Mother?
In this new episode, I have a beautiful and powerful conversation with Danni Willow. She is a Parent Educator, Aware Parenting Instructor, Early Childhood Educator, Primary School Teacher, holder of sacred space for Mother and women circles and Mumma to two beautiful souls.
We share our personal stories about the times we have been left alone to parent our children, whether that be for long periods of time, or during “working hours.” We discuss how nuclear families have made it so challenging to parent, and there is no wisdom flowing from previous generations.
We answer the questions “Where is the village?” And then chat about ways we can create villages within our own communities, which can help us flourish and thrive and Mothers and parents.
There is so much inspiration and authenticity, and to all the Mamas reading this and listening to this episode “You are not alone, and you are always enough.”
