Enough-ism

⁠What if the best gift for a new mom is not another onesie, gadget, or nursery item, but real postpartum support? In this episode of the Enough-ism Podcast, Kaitlin McGreyes, founder of BeHerVillage.com, challenges the traditional baby shower registry and shares a more meaningful way to care for new parents. Instead of filling homes with more stuff, BeHerVillage helps friends and family fund the support new moms actually need, including doulas, home-cooked meals, lactation consultants, mental health care, laundry help, and trusted community support. Kaitlin explores the gap between celebrating pregnancy and truly supporting postpartum recovery. This conversation looks at why well-intentioned gift giving can still leave mothers feeling stranded, how community care can transform the early weeks of motherhood, and practical ways to show up for new parents with more purpose and less clutter. This episode is for anyone who wants to support a new mom, rethink baby shower gifts, build a stronger postpartum village, or understand why care is the greatest gift. Visit BeHerVillage.com to learn how you can fund meaningful postpartum care. Share this episode with someone who needs a reminder that support is the greatest gift.
