Wait Until: The Unfiltered Village

Motherhood changes a lot of things—including our friendships. In this episode of Wait Until: The Unfiltered Village, we're having an honest conversation about the friendships that shifted, faded, or completely fell apart after becoming moms. We talk about the grief that can come with outgrowing relationships, feeling misunderstood by friends in different seasons of life, and navigating the loneliness that many mothers experience but rarely talk about. But this episode isn't just about loss. It's also about the beautiful friendships that found us during motherhood—the moms who became our village, showed up in the hard moments, and reminded us that we're not meant to do this alone. Whether you've lost friends since becoming a parent, struggled to make new ones, or found lifelong connections through motherhood, this conversation is a reminder that friendship can look different in every season—and that's okay. Join us as we discuss the highs, lows, heartbreaks, and unexpected gifts of mom friendships.

They say it takes a village to raise a child—but for many parents today, that village looks very different than it did for previous generations. In this episode, we explore how modern motherhood and family life have changed, from increased isolation and busy schedules to the impact of social media and the loss of built-in community. We'll talk about why so many parents feel like they're doing it all alone, what we've lost along the way, and how we can begin rebuilding meaningful support systems in today's world. Whether you're longing for deeper connections or trying to create your own village, this conversation is a reminder that we were never meant to do this alone.

In this episode of Wait Until: The Unfiltered Village, we're calling out the comments women are tired of hearing during pregnancy and postpartum. From "just wait until…" to body shaming, feeding judgment, and pressure to "bounce back," we're unpacking the stigma that too often comes with motherhood. This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about how words can impact moms during some of the most vulnerable seasons of life — and why moms deserve support instead of criticism.

Motherhood can be beautiful and overwhelming at the same time. In this episode of Wait Until: The Unfiltered Village, we're having an honest conversation about maternal mental health, postpartum depression, anxiety, burnout, and the realities many moms silently face. According to the CDC, 1 in 8 women experience postpartum depression symptoms, yet so many struggle alone. We're breaking the silence, sharing support resources, and reminding moms that asking for help is strength — not weakness.
