    In Praise of The Auntie Life

    We say "it takes a village" to be a caregiver, but we often don't give the praise to who actually makes up that group. As a mom, building a community that sees you in your many roles and helps lift the burdens is life-giving.  Aunties - friends, blood relatives, it doesn't matter - are often the unsung heroes of making motherhood work. In this episode, Claire Gould -  founder of GetClarified and the most intentional auntie we know - discusses how she has chosen the auntie life and the intentional choices that support her life and the lives of so many around her. This conversation is a treasure trove of insight, wisdom, laughs, and a bunch of resources to learn more about how we can build a collective community that lifts everyone up.   Show Notes More about Claire Gould & show mentions: Connect with Claire on Instagram Incredible humans mentioned in this episode (with links) include: Tash Haynes: Instagram and website Monique Melton: Instagram and Shine Bright School Rachel Cargle: Rachel’s Instagram, The Loveland Foundation, @richauntiesupreme, and book A RENAISSANCE OF OUR OWN Chrissy King: Instagram, website, and book THE BODY LIBERATION PROJECT Ruby Warrington: Instagram and book WOMEN WITHOUT KIDS Alok Vaid-Menon: Instagram and book BEYOND THE GENDER BINARY JustUS Podcast: Apple podcast, Instagram, hosted by Tashira Halyard and Margo Lindauer About Amy Kugler: Check out Amy's website and writing.
