How to Build Your Village as a Working Parent (Even When It Feels Like You Don’t Have One)

Parenting was never meant to be a solo sport — especially for working parents trying to do it all. In this episode of The Long Game Parent, host and certified parent coach Lauryn Gregg explores what it really means to build your village — the network of people who help you navigate the complex, beautiful, and exhausting seasons of early parenthood.

From the emotional to the logistical, Lauryn breaks down how to create genuine support systems that work in real life — not just in theory. You’ll learn:

  • Why working parents are more isolated than ever (and what the data shows)

  • What to do when your family isn’t nearby — or doesn’t show up how you hoped

  • Ways to find connection through daycare, work, and community spaces

  • How to ask for help without guilt and communicate your needs clearly

  • The mindset shifts that help you go from surviving to truly supported

Lauryn also shares real examples from sports and business — showing that even high achievers never play alone.

Whether you’re a new parent, a returning-to-work parent, or a seasoned pro rebuilding your network after big life changes, this episode will help you build a village that supports both your family and your career goals.

Listen now and learn how to build a community that sustains you for the long game — at work, at home, and everywhere in between.
