Mama Making Podcast
The Mama Making Podcast is a space for moms making impact - in their communities, in their work, and in the everyday spaces that shape the world.
Hosted by Jessica Lamb, this show features honest conversations with women building, leading, creating, and mothering in ways that ripple outward. Each week brings a mix of solo reflections, expert interviews, and real stories from moms navigating growth in every season — from pregnancy and postpartum to leadership, entrepreneurship, advocacy, and beyond.
Because motherhood doesn’t pause growth. It often reshapes it.

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.
