Raising with the village
Raising with the Village
Because it really does take a village to raise a child — and most of us don’t have one anymore.
Raising with the Village is a podcast about the real stories of parenthood — from pregnancy to the early school years and everything in between. Each episode shares an honest, unfiltered conversation with a parent who’s been there: through the highs, the lows, the unexpected turns and the moments that change everything.
No experts. No judgement. Just real people sharing their experiences — because when we talk openly about what we’ve been through, we help someone else feel less alone.
Whether you’re preparing for your first baby, navigating the chaos of toddlerhood, or simply figuring it out one day at a time, this is your virtual village — a place to listen, relate, and remind yourself that you’re doing better than you think.
🎧 Hosted by Maeva,
Parent, storyteller, and believer that there’s power — and comfort — in sharing our stories.

Episode 1 - Welcome to Raising with the Village
Welcome to Raising with the Village! I’m Maeva, and I’m so happy you’re here.
This podcast was born out of a simple idea — it takes a village to raise a child. But in today’s world, most of us don’t really have that village anymore. We often raise our children far from family, with little experience and even less sleep. And somehow, we’re just expected to figure it all out as we go!
That’s why I wanted to create a space where real stories are shared — the kind of stories you’d normally hear from a friend who says, “I know someone who went through that too.” Because when we share our experiences, we help each other feel less alone.
Each episode, you’ll hear from parents and caregivers who’ve lived through all kinds of moments — the beautiful, the difficult, and the downright unexpected. No job titles, no labels — just honest conversations about what it really means to raise a child.
✨ Raising with the Village is here to remind you that every story adds to our shared wisdom — that together, we can rebuild that sense of community, one conversation at a time.
If you’d like to share your story, I’d love to hear from you. Get in touch via Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/raisingwith_thevillage/ or by email at raisingwith@gmail.com.
💛 Because there’s power in our stories — and when we share them, that power becomes our collective strength.
