  • Parenting Abroad: Raising Kids without Your Village

    In this episode, I sit down with Dorcas Akinlade, a working mom in Canada, navigating the unique challenges of raising children thousands of miles away from her extended family.

    When you become a parent in the diaspora, everything changes. There's no grandmother to call for advice at 2 AM. No aunties to take your kids for the day so you can rest. No cousins to teach them about home. It's just you, your partner ,, and the challenge of building a community from scratch.

    Dorcas shares her raw, honest journey about:

    • What it's really like to parent alone abroad
    • How she built community and found her village
    • Teaching cultural identity when home is far away
    • The unexpected gifts of diaspora parenting


    This conversation is for every mother raising kids without family support, every expat parent navigating a new country, and every person wondering if you can truly raise happy, well-adjusted children when your traditional village is oceans away.

    The answer? You already are. And you're doing it better than you think.

    Listen in, feel seen, and remember: your story matters.
