As Seen On The Mama Renew Blog

Here’s a little taste of one the latest interviews:

Mama Renew: What do you see as some of the challenges to building a healthy community of families?

Peggy O’Mara: At the heart of it is the isolation we feel in modern industrial society.  So many of us don’t feel that core sense of community.  We’re so much about rugged individualism.  We believe we Should be able to do it all, and the expectation is that the nuclear family can handle its own needs.

In Canada, you at least have a year of maternity leave.  In the U.S. we have only 6 weeks of unpaid leave.  We have no legislative and policy support for families, so what we’re trying to do as a nuclear family is impossible. We need to get rid of the myth that it’s not ok to get help - it hurts young families.

But wait... there’s more. Read the latest interview and to join the conversation please visit MamaRenew or NaturalPod.
