    Village Mama podcast is all about exploring motherhood. We talk about the journey of motherhood, the lessons we’ve learned and what techniques we’ve implemented that have resonated well with our children.  Deep connection and honest story sharing…dude, this is the kind of stuff that brings me joy. So, I wanted to create a space where I can lift up and promote the voices of moms I know (and know of) who are doing their very best. Village Mama aims to explore the lives of mothers like you and me, who are navigating parenthood the best way we can.  We’re trying to create a village where we can share our joys, sorrows and frustrations. Where even though we’re making supper, or driving to work, we can still experience that feeling of sitting around a kitchen table or on a front porch talking to women who’ve been there, who get it and who are choosing to be real about their experience. Through honest storytelling, this podcast explores one focal question, ‘What does it mean to be an intentional and mindful mother in this day and age?’ Join host, Char Lekx as she interviews moms who are keeping it real about their experiences in parenting.
