This Hive Howls
As a young mom of 2 wading her way through the picture-perfectly-curated-lives of moms on the internet, Julie is tired of feeling lost and alone as she struggles with her mental-health while being a new parent. Hi, I'm Julie, mom, teacher, interior designer, and author of the blog This Hive. This podcast - This Hive Howls - is paying homage to the moms, dads, and parents of the world who feel like they don't have a voice or a space to complain about the daily hardships of parenthood! So HOWL along with me, as I share my experiences as a parent who is growing and breaking generational curses, as well as re-parenting myself through therapy so I can be the best mom I can for my kids!

Kids Need a Village Too - The Importance of Friendships
Welcome every one, new and returning! In today's episode I ruminate on my worries around the kind of village my children need in terms of meaningful friendships. Sparked by a conversation I had with a friend about playgroups, I realized that my soon to be school age son has no "real" friends yet, and that got me worried. What if he doesn't make friends in time? Why can't I work harder to create a village for myself filled with kids his age so he has more opportunities to make friends? Will he feel lonely forever?
All of these questions are valid. If you're feeling stressed with the upcoming school year, and you haven't heard conversations around a kids' village, I hope you find some connection here.

Till next time, Julie!
