"How to find peace when you lack a support system as a mom?"
Show Notes

Motherhood can oftentimes feel isolating. It can feel more isolating if you don’t have a community (or that village everyone talks about in parenting) to lean on. I welcome Natasha, who is a mother of a 1-year-old and lives in Germany. She lacks that physical support system (friends and relatives) and we discuss:

  • Why not having this support system is so hard
  • How to reframe when we find ourselves comparing our situation to others
  • Reframing guilt when you want help as a mom
