Episode 19: It Takes a Village — Why Parents Feel Alone

It Takes a Village — Why Parents Feel Alone

Parenting was never meant to be a solo effort — yet so many parents today feel like they’re doing it alone.

In Part One of this conversation, Derrick sits down with family therapist Angela Caldwell to unpack what people really mean when they say “it takes a village.” They explore why modern families often struggle to find support, how misalignment (not failure) creates isolation, and what shared values have to do with feeling truly supported.

This episode is a thoughtful reflection on connection, communication, and why building a village is less about having more people around — and more about clarity, trust, and intention.

In Part Two, the conversation continues with a focus on sports, screen time, and social media.
