My Summer in Greece: What Community Does for Moms

My Summer in Greece: What Community Does for Moms

Author: Evie Mpras, MS, LMFT September 9, 2025 Duration: 18:32

I'm sharing my personal experiences of my 2.5 month long time in Greece with my family- and relating my personal experience to why Momming is so much easier with a solid community of people. I was literally in a village for part of our trip and experienced motherhood so differently there.

In this episode I will:

  • Share my personal struggles and joys on our travels
  • Share why parenting is easier with a network of people, and what we know from research
  • Share why Moms should stop pathologizing their struggles when most of the time its lack of support that makes things hard!

Moms and parents should stop being so hard on themselves- parenting has become much to solitary of an experience in contemporary life. Support should be a built-in part of our parenting journey but it often isn't. It's important to find community where you can if possible.

Hosted by Evie Mpras, a licensed marriage and family therapist, this podcast is a resource for parents who find themselves navigating unexpected conflict and a sense of disconnection even as they manage all the practical preparations. It’s for those who sometimes feel resentment, isolation, or a fading spark, and who long to reclaim a sense of teamwork and intimacy. Each episode offers grounded, professional insights from Evie’s practice, focusing on actionable communication strategies, managing mental load, and fostering emotional safety. You’ll hear discussions on repairing ruptures, dividing unseen labor, and protecting maternal well-being as a cornerstone for the whole family. This isn’t about adding more to your to-do list; it’s about transforming the quality of your connection from the inside out, turning postpartum challenges into a pathway for a stronger, more resilient partnership. Tune in for honest conversations that help you guard your mental health and rebuild the bond that started it all.
