EP 40 The 5 Types of Connections that All Moms Need in Their Lives (& How to Make Them!) with Emily Siegel

Today I'm chatting with Emily Siegel,  Founder of The Connected Mom Life community and podcast, she believes that authentic connections are not a nice-to-have, they’re a must-have! And she is on a mission to help moms create more of them because she knows we weren’t made to mom alone, and it’s time to stop trying.


In this episode we discuss:

• The importance of having friends as adults, and especially as mothers and the surprising benefits of having a strong social support network
• How a circle of friends can help you process and navigate through all the noise and opinions in motherhood
• Answering the $64K question….how do we make friends as moms?
• Why Emily thinks the best place to start making friends is actually self-reflection
• The benefit of having “same season” friends, especially in motherhood
•  How we can show that we’re open to connection with other moms at the playground
• The formula Emily uses to keep casual connections moving towards friendship
• Why Emily gives herself permission to not be social all of the time
• Making friends in a pandemic
• Why Emily and I both agree Voxer is one of the (surprisingly) best apps for moms
• The 5 types of connections that all moms need in their lives

A radical mother is a woman poised in her power ready to disrupt cycles of generational trauma running through her family like wildfire. She's working to improve her life, the lives of her children, and shape the landscape of her community. If that's you - you're in the right place. 

This podcast is designed to connect you with resources, inspiration, and the reminder that you are not alone as you embark on your journey of radical mothering.

I’m your host Christa Bevan and I’m a certified TRE provider (which stands for tension & trauma releasing exercises), trauma-informed yoga instructor, and also a dynamic self-care coach for moms. And of course, a fellow radical mother. My approach to this work blends neuroscience-backed tools and heart-centered intuition.
