When Vanessa Rio became a mom, she expected the hard parts. She didn’t expect to feel so completely alone.
No sleep. Little support. And a healthcare system that told her what she was feeling was “normal” – and to just enjoy every moment.
Sound familiar?
Instead of accepting this normalcy, Vanessa did something remarkable: she built the support system she needed, and then opened it up to parents everywhere.
She founded Mothering Minds – the United Kingdom’s first platform offering online therapy and support groups for new and expectant parents. And then? She picked up her family and moved off-grid to the Philippines in search of the village of support she’d always wanted.
In this episode of the Humankindness at Work Podcast, Vanessa shares about:
✨ The mental health crisis hiding inside new parenthood
✨ Why modern society has “decentered” the mother
✨ How to build your own village, even in an individualistic culture
✨ Simple ways all of us can show up for the parents in our lives
