Mama Making Podcast
The Mama Making Podcast is a space for moms figuring it out in real time - at home, at work, and everywhere in between. Hosted by Jessica Lamb, this show is here to help you feel a little less alone in the mess and magic of motherhood.
Each week brings a mix of solo reflections, expert interviews, and real stories from moms who are leaning into themselves - whether that’s in parenting, entrepreneurship, or simply surviving the day. It’s for moms in the making and moms making their way through - without a manual, but with a whole lot of heart.
Because there’s no one way to do motherhood - and you don’t have to do it alone.

Georgia Kastaris | Expecting Together: The Prenatal Social Club Every Parent Deserves
Episode Description
What if your prenatal education came with a built-in village?
In this episode, Jessica talks with Georgia Kastaris, founder of Expecting Together, a prenatal social club that blends expert-led education with real community. Based in Chicago and inspired by European models of group care, Expecting Together creates small, curated cohorts of expecting parents—matched by due date and neighborhood - to foster support that lasts well beyond the birth.
Whether you’re expecting your first baby or dreaming of a better way to help families prepare, this conversation is a must-listen. Georgia shares how she’s rethinking the prenatal experience to include connection, trust, and the kind of friendships that make early parenthood less isolating.
