9) From Coffee to Cocktails: Redefining Modern Motherhood with MamaSocial

How do you find your "people" when you’re a new parent in the Netherlands? In this special kickoff episode, recorded following our Dam Parenting launch at Kanteen25, we sit down with Gemma, the founder of MamaSocial. Gemma has turned a simple idea—connecting moms over brunch and shared experiences—into one of the city’s most vibrant and essential postnatal communities.

We take a warm, honest, and direct look at why postnatal connection is a non-negotiable for our mental health. Gemma shares her mission to create meaningful support networks that bridge the gap between local and international parents. From cozy morning coffees to buzzing nights out, discover how MamaSocial is helping mothers reclaim their social identities. If you’ve been craving real conversation and a village that actually "gets it," this episode is your invitation to get involved.
