The saying ‘It takes a village to raise a child’ is at the heart of today’s podcast. We chat to Sinead O’Moore, Mum of Penny and head of content strategy for eumom all about building your community as a parent and having the best support networks in place for yourself and your family.

 

We discuss:

How your community completely changes when you become a parent.

Not only does your child benefit from this support but the parents are enriched by the solidarity of a strong community network.

This network might be your local yoga class, your local pharmacist or your online community.

Listening to the advice of the village elders, i.e. those who have seen it all before.

Learning to quiet those doubting voices in your own mind.

We chat about comparison culture and our inherent competitive nature as parents.

How your online community is a wealth of support; but when it makes you feel bad, it’s time to take control!

Protect and build your bubble of positivity and don’t listen to the negativity.

Resilience and positivity – how to find ways to be more grateful.
