Motherhood was never meant to be done alone — yet so many
working moms feel isolated, especially in the postpartum season.
In this episode of the Mama Work It Podcast, I chat
with Nicole Cumberbatch, founder of The Motherhood Village, to
talk about simple, realistic ways to build your mom village — even if you’re
busy, overwhelmed, or new to your community.
Nicole shares her personal journey into motherhood
(including navigating pregnancy the second time around), why modern moms feel so disconnected, and how small, intentional steps can lead to meaningful relationships. She also shares about her in-person space in Florida, where moms gather, connect, and build real community.
If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I had more support,” this episode is for you.
