If you’ve ever thought, “I know I need community… but how do I actually build it?”—this episode is for you.

In Part 2 of our conversation on why motherhood feels so hard, we’re getting practical. I’m sharing what I’ve learned from building community later in life—through infertility, postpartum depression, awkward attempts, short-lived friendships, and finally, deep, aligned relationships that truly feel life-giving.

If you’re a Christian mom craving real friendship, prayer, and women to actually do life with, this episode will help you take a simple, doable next step.

• Why community doesn’t usually happen overnight

• How infertility and motherhood revealed my deep need for connection

• The role isolation played in my postpartum experience

• Why praying for community actually matters

• How to put yourself out there (even if you’re introverted)

• Simple ways to take initiative in conversations

• How to keep friendships light, natural, and pressure-free

• Why consistency matters more than personality

• What to do if the community you want doesn’t exist yet

• How God uses the process of building community to shape and grow you

God never designed you to do life or motherhood alone—and He wants to bless you with the community you’re praying for. But building it often requires courage, patience, and one small step at a time.

What’s one step you’ll take this week to build the community you want?

• Reaching out to a friend you already have

• Following up with a mom you’ve met recently

• Putting yourself in a position to meet someone new

Choose one small, simple action—and do it.
