03| Finding Your Village: Embracing Support and Trust in Motherhood

In this week’s episode, I am joined by the lovely Tariro. She is a fellow mum to a wonderful 2 year old boy and she kindly shares her journey of discovering the importance of building a village during motherhood. She opens up about the struggles she faced as a new mum, from feeling isolated to the overwhelming pressure to do it all alone. Tariro discusses how she learned to let go of the myth of the "supermum" and embraced the power of asking for help. She shares personal anecdotes about the challenges and rewards of trusting others with her child, and how that became the foundation for deep, supportive relationships. Throughout the episode, we explore her practical tips for finding her own village, the emotional growth that comes with leaning on others, and the transformative realisation that parenting isn’t meant to be a solo journey.   This episode is a comforting reminder that it’s okay to ask for help, and that building a community can make all the difference in navigating the highs and lows of motherhood.
