Building a Support System as a First-Time Mom with Rachel Mans

In this episode I chat with Rachel Mans about the importance of having a strong village and supportive community as a first-time mom.

We talk about how motherhood was never meant to be done alone, the emotional weight of navigating it by yourself, and how the right support system can make a difference during pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood. Rachel shares her perspective on what support can look like for moms, why community matters so much, and how women can begin building a village that helps them feel seen, supported, protected, and encouraged.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or like you’re carrying too much on your own during motherhood, this conversation is here to remind you that you deserve support too.

Tune in to learn how to create a support system that feels safe, healthy, and realistic for this season of life.


About Rachel Mans
Certified birth doula and childbirth educator wanting to help empower women and teach them how to trust their body, baby, and instincts.

I have been learning about birth for over 10 years now, since I was pregnant with my first in 2010/11. I am certified as a birth doula and childbirth educator. I have completed trainings in Spinning Babies®, the pelvic floor, trauma, essential oils specifically for birth, Breech Without Borders (breech vaginal birth), “free” birth, and more and have read countless books about numerous birth, pregnancy, and postpartum subjects. I also spent over a year creating my own natural childbirth education curriculum that I proudly teach in person and through my site.

I want all women to feel empowered and learn to trust their body, baby, and innate instincts. I want to use the wisdom of our ancestors, traditional practices, and evidence-based information to help you make the best choices for YOU and YOUR family. You know your body and your baby better than anyone else, and you alone are the prime authority.
