community and loneliness - the village has to be healthy to raise a child 🌿

Bonus episode. 🌺This is one of those episodes you're going to want to grab your favourite beverage, your notebook and a pen and write down some of the questions I proposed for you to reflect on during and after.So many of us want community, but we've got to accept that it is a huge responsibility.In this bonus episode, we're talking about why it's important to heal when you're desiring or creating community.I talk about why we can want big families and the “it takes a village” approach towards raising the child, but is the village healthy?I share this from the perspective of my African upbringing, too, where the “it takes a village” originates from. We have it within us to create beautiful, thriving communities that require each of us to do our part in creating them.Episode mentioned:Healing To Have Genuine & Intimate Connections.✯✯✯Check out more of my work, including my Substack newsletter and poetry books Patchwork and Mama, We Are Here, out now via my website ⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠.You can contact me via email for a hello or collaboration at ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠.📱Let's connect:✨ Instagram & Threads - @bylaurelsibanda✨  TikTok - @thespiritualpoetess - TikTokDisclaimer:The information provided in this podcast is for informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute medical, legal, psychological, or any other form of professional advice.
