Did Covid quietly destroy “the village” mothers once relied on?
In this episode, I explore how motherhood has changed since the pandemic and whether modern parenting has become far more isolated than previous generations.
From family “dropping in” to neighbours helping with babies, many mums grew up hearing stories about a village that simply doesn’t seem to exist anymore. But did Covid permanently shift the way we parent, socialise and ask for help?

If you’ve ever felt lonely during motherhood, overwhelmed by parenting expectations, or wondered where “the village” went, this episode is for you.
