Episode Description

What if your prenatal education came with a built-in village?

In this episode, Jessica talks with Georgia Kastaris, founder of Expecting Together, a prenatal social club that blends expert-led education with real community. Based in Chicago and inspired by European models of group care, Expecting Together creates small, curated cohorts of expecting parents—matched by due date and neighborhood - to foster support that lasts well beyond the birth.

Whether you’re expecting your first baby or dreaming of a better way to help families prepare, this conversation is a must-listen. Georgia shares how she’s rethinking the prenatal experience to include connection, trust, and the kind of friendships that make early parenthood less isolating.
