ZestPal: Life Skills & Life Lessons
ZestPal (formerly Wellbeing in Focus) is a podcast about life in a broader sense: life skills, life lessons, meaning, regret, joy, elder stories, and of course, zest for life.
I’m Gabriella, and together with my guests we explore the deeper questions in life: what it is that truly matters, what we can learn from those who’ve been there, and how we can live a life that we won’t regret later.
Moving beyond expert advice, ZestPal is a space for real stories and honest conversations about the human experience. It's a place to listen, learn, and take action on what really matters - so we can all build a life that we actually enjoy.
Come and join us!

Many Mothers: community support for parents - with director Antoinette Villamil

In this podcast episode I'm interviewing Antoinette Villamil, director of Many Mothers, an organisation in Santa Fe, New Mexico providing support to all local families with babies, free of charge.
Antoinette tells us how their flagship Maternal Support Program, which provides practical, hands-on support through volunteers and is available at no cost to all local families, works in practice. She also talks to us about their other programs that are available for income-eligible families only.
Through the incredible generosity of Many Mothers, other communities can also follow their example and set up their own support system for local parents. There have been a number of such initiatives already popping up in other places, and Antoinette is happy to share the guides and resources with anyone who wishes to follow suit and further their community's wellbeing by supporting parents and families.
Thank you Antoinette for sharing your thoughts with us!
