In this episode, Katie and Meagan dive into the heart of what makes parenting just a little more doable—community. They swap stories about the people who’ve shown up for them, talk about how modern parenting can feel a bit too isolated, and share ideas for how to build your own village (even when it doesn’t come built-in anymore).
