There’s a phrase we’ve all heard before: “It takes a village to raise a child.” But here’s something we don’t say enough, it also takes a village to raise a working mum.
The “village” that used to exist, grandparents nearby, friendly neighbours, extended family, looks different for many of us.
In this solo episode, Carina talks about the often-overlooked truth behind the working mum juggle: we weren’t meant to do this alone. We used to raise children in villages, but today the concept of the village has changed. 
During this episode Carina chat's about: 


Why the traditional village has disappeared in Western culture


The emotional toll of doing it all alone as a working mum


Real-life reflections from a recent work trip abroad


Practical ideas for creating your own support network


Why every village looks different — and that’s okay


How to build a village from scratch (even when you're new in town)
