The notion that it takes a village has become a euphemism for ‘parenting is hard, don’t go at it alone’. And it’s truer today more than ever. But it doesn’t just take a village or tribe to raise a child, it takes a village to raise a mother. It’s time for us to rebuild the village.

No one ever told me it's time to rebuild the village.

Welcome to No one ever told me, a podcast that interrogates the role of motherhood, career culture and societal norms through a series of essays. This isn’t a how-to for the things new parents google at odd hours of the night. Nor is it a place to find solace in all the reasons we may find parenting hard. It’s an interrogation of the things no one ever told us about motherhood, societal norms and our current culture.
