In today’s episode of the Gentle Parenting Show, Kim is joined by Amanda Gorman. Amanda is a wife, mother of two, and the host of the “Finding Your Village” podcast. She is also a childbirth educator and is passionate about birth, postpartum, and parent mental health. Kim and Amanda discuss how to find your village as a parent, and how a village is more than just people around you. They discuss:

  • What it means to find a village
  • Finding a village through pregnancy and birth 
  • Using a village in parenting 
  • How a village support the mental health of the family

 

Plus, you won’t want to miss Amanda sharing her life-changing “cheat-sheet” idea when it comes to self-care and mentally recharging. Our favorite quotes from the episode were “birth and the intro into parenting is all about figuring out what to do when you don’t know what to do.” and “you can create a village not by people who are by you, but you can also add to your village by information and resources that are out there.”
