Ask Mama Amy Episode 13: Community Building for Single Moms

Leah Shuchter is a Community Builder, Aesthete, and Public Health Promoter with a professional background as a clinical research administrator, doula, yoga teacher, and prenatal health coach. Leah has volunteered extensively with local planning and community groups specific to single mothers. In today’s episode, Leah discusses her unique perspective on how to survive parenthood.

Leah always knew she wanted to be a mother, and she wasn’t going to let being single stop her. After conceiving her son Ira through a sperm donor, Leah began her journey of single motherhood.  As a single mom by choice, Leah knows the importance of a strong community. Throughout her son’s life, Leah has heavily relied on the community around her for support. Not only does her community uplift her in times of need, but they are there to remind her that parenting should be a fun experience. 

Tune into this week’s episode of AskMamaAmy for a conversation about Leah’s journey through non-conventional motherhood. Learn more about the importance of community building, normalizing single motherhood, and how to have fun while being a parent.
