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.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I just wanted to say your podcast is so impactful. It gives me so much hope in raising my 2 neurodivergent boys. I feel like most days I’m in survival mode. Listening to your podcast makes me feel like I’m seen, heard and not alone. Thank you for building this village and community! I am grateful for you both.

Danigirl0302 · Jul 2026

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.

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.
