Why You Weren’t Meant to Do Motherhood Alone

For generations, mothers were never expected to raise their babies alone. Villages, extended families, and communities surrounded new parents with helping hands, listening ears, and wisdom passed down through stories.

But today? Many moms find themselves navigating pregnancy and postpartum without that same circle of support. The late-night feedings, the endless questions, the flood of emotions, it can all feel overwhelming when you’re doing it in isolation.

And here’s the truth: you weren’t meant to do this by yourself.


The Missing Village

Modern motherhood often looks very different from what our bodies and hearts were designed for. We’ve lost the village that once gathered around mothers: the aunties, the grandmothers, the neighbors who showed up with food, care, and encouragement.

Without that support, many new moms feel lonely, unsure, and stretched thin. And while Google searches and Instagram reels can offer snippets of advice, nothing compares to real connection with other moms who understand.

Why Community Matters

When you’re surrounded by a supportive circle, something shifts. Sharing your story and hearing “me too” from another mom can lift a weight off your shoulders. Having a space where you can ask questions without judgment, cry if you need to, or celebrate the small wins makes all the difference.

Community helps mothers:

  • Feel seen, heard, and understood

  • Learn from shared experiences

  • Gain confidence in their choices

  • Build friendships that last beyond the baby years

Because healing and thriving in motherhood doesn’t just happen in solitude. It happens when we come together.

The Village Circles

That’s why I created The Village Prenatal and Postpartum Circles: a safe, welcoming space for moms to connect, learn, and grow together. Whether you’re preparing for birth or navigating postpartum, our circles remind you that you are not alone.

Inside the membership, you’ll find:

  • Guided conversations on pregnancy, birth, and postpartum

  • Space to share your story and be supported

  • Resources from a doula and educator who gets it

  • A community of moms walking alongside you

Because you deserve more than just “getting by.” You deserve to feel supported, connected, and empowered in this season of life.

Your village is waiting for you.
