In times gone by we used to have a community that supported us through our mothering journey. But somehow over time we've lost this connection to people who could support, advise and nourish us.

Though the proverb "It takes a village to raise a child" has become cliché, the impact of our village-less living is having a devastating impact on mothers.

I'm very excited to be speaking with an incredible women who supports women in celebrating and restoring motherhood. She's one of life's wise and wonderful women who in ancient times would have been a central figure in our communities.

In this episode I interview Su Barber. Su offers pre and post natal support to couples, exploring strategies to cope with birth, dealing with unexpected or desired consequences of the journey and offering support at the birth itself.
