73) 1 year Dam Parenting! Celebrating with Gemma from Mamasocial

🎉 Happy 1-Year Anniversary to the Dam Parenting Podcast! 🎉
What started as two moms navigating the chaos of parenting in a new country has grown into a trusted resource for international families across the Netherlands. In this special episode, Eva and Maren look back on the journey—how Dam Parenting was born out of the need for clear, accessible guidance through the Dutch parenting system, and how it’s grown into a supportive, information-packed community that spans everything from birth to back-to-school.


Learn how the idea took shape, with a launch supported by Gemma from MamaSocial, who’s built one of Amsterdam’s most beloved communities for social connection in matrescence. From brunches to cocktail nights, her partnership helped bring Dam Parenting to life in front of a room full of curious, hopeful mothers.


  • Over the past year, Dam Parenting has delivered episodes that matter:
    Pregnancy support & Dutch healthcare insights (with verloskundigen and kraamzorg)
    Mental health conversations with trusted experts like Dr. Naomi Gibson
  • Food allergies, sleep struggles, and gentle parenting strategies
    Navigating Dutch schools, raising multilingual kids, and tackling back-to-school stress
    Real talk on matrescence, identity shifts, ADHD, and everything in between


Whether you’re a new parent, an expat finding your way, or just someone craving community, this episode is a love letter to the power of showing up, sharing knowledge, and reminding each other: you’re not alone.
