In this episode, we talk about the "mom with no village," which means the experience of mothers raising children without immediate physical support from family or friends. Traditionally, a mother would receive assistance from her village, consisting of family members, during the transition into motherhood. However, modern circumstances often lead to mothers lacking this support system due to geographical distance or other reasons. Then, we delve into the challenges faced by mothers without a village, including feelings of isolation, exhaustion, and the inability to ask for help. Even when surrounded by family, some mothers may find themselves disconnected and unsupported, leading to difficult decisions like moving away from immediate support structures for the sake of mental health. The episode emphasizes the importance of identifying and meeting the needs of new mothers beyond the postpartum period, as support requirements extend into different stages of parenting.  0:00 Mom with no village, with no family present 3:50 Mom with no village, with family around  6:14 When you don't want to parent the way your parents did it 6:45 When we feel like a mom with no village, a hard reality       Ohmama.ca, for moms with no village on instagram @ohmamaworld
