It takes a village

In this episode, Anja talks about the importance of
the village — about the blessing of being carried
through the first tough weeks of parenthood, when the baby is
teething, feverish, or sick, and why parenting was never meant to
be a task for the nuclear family alone.


She shares her own experience of being surrounded and supported
after birth and connects it to cultural traditions from around
the world where mothers are intentionally carried and cared for.
