Voices of Your Village

by Seed & Sew

Let's get real, this whole raising tiny humans thing is wild. That's why I created a place where parents, caregivers, teachers, and experts come together to create the modern parenting village. We can support one another on this crazy journey so it doesn't have to be this hard.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

As a parent, a clinical psychologist, and a recent guest on Voices of Your Village, I can’t recommend this podcast enough! Alyssa is an incredibly wise, thoughtful, non-judgmental, and compassionate host who truly gets just how wonderful and hard parenting can be. Tune in for valuable insights, actionable advice, and the support we all need and deserve as parents.

Alissa Jerud, PhD · Jul 2025

Love listening to Alyssa’s podcast. Her voice and tone is reassuring yet doesn’t put me to sleep. Wonderful phrases and words and practical advise along with the theory behind it.

C1Mich · Jan 2023

I really like this lady! Sounds down to earth and nurturing. Have listened to three episodes in one day and I rarely listen to podcasts.

Isabelle N A · Dec 2021

Just listened to episode 127 about motherhood and your body and this conversation was so rich and deep and on point and compassionate. I definitely want to be part of the conversation and this community.
