10) Building the Village – Finding Postpartum Support & Connection with Dr. Naomi Gibson

We’ve all heard the phrase “it takes a village”—but what does that really mean in today’s world of parenting? In this insightful episode, we’re joined by Dr. Naomi Gibson to explore the evolving concept of the modern village and how essential postpartum support networks, community care, and nearby helping hands are for new parents.

Hosts Eva and Maren reflect on their own contrasting perspectives of what “the village” looks like. Whether it's family, friends, doulas, neighbors, or other moms in your city, we explore how your village can take many forms—and why staying open to support is the first step to building it.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of doing it all alone, or you're wondering how to create your own support circle in early parenthood, this honest and empowering conversation will help you redefine what community means on your parenting journey.

What You'll Learn:

  • What the “village” really means in modern parenthood

  • How to build a support network during pregnancy and postpartum

  • Why community matters for maternal mental health

  • Personal reflections from Eva, Maren, and Dr. Naomi on creating their villages

  • How to stay open to unexpected sources of support
