Mothers were never meant to do this alone.
In this week’s episode of The Resilient Mother Podcast, Tiffany Lorraine Galloway is joined by Jiemi Gao, founder of Nori, for a powerful conversation on Resilient Identity: Creating the Support Mothers Need.
Together, they explore how motherhood reshapes identity, why so many moms feel overwhelmed by advice and comparison, and how real human connection can help mothers trust themselves again.
Jiemi shares the heart behind Nori, a support network designed to help mothers connect through mentorship, community conversations, and shared lived experience.
What began as a mom mentorship platform has grown into a space where mothers can find support, offer wisdom, and remember they are not alone.
This episode also explores the pressure mothers feel to “get it right,” the loneliness many moms experience, the impact of technology and social media, and why building community is one of the most powerful acts of resilience.
Because resilient mothers are not built in isolation.
They are strengthened through connection, honest conversation, support, and the courage to create the village they wish they had.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
• How motherhood changes identity
• Why moms need more than expert advice and online information
• The importance of mentorship and peer support
• Learning to trust yourself as a mother
• The pressure of perfectionism in motherhood
• Creating community when you feel isolated
• Why support is not a luxury for mothers
• How mothers can both receive support and offer it
• The heart behind Nori and Jiemi’s mission to support moms
GUEST BIO:
Jiemi Gao is the founder of Nori, a support network created to help mothers connect through mentorship, small group discussions, and meaningful community. As a mother of two, Jiemi began building Nori from her own experience of needing more support in motherhood, especially after becoming one of the first in her friend circle to have children and navigating early motherhood during the COVID years.
Through Nori, Jiemi is creating a space where mothers can find encouragement, share lived experience, and support one another through every stage of motherhood.
