Journey to Finding Your Mom Friends: Tips for New Moms

Host Kaile Garcia welcomes stay-at-home mom Erin Baird from Celina, Texas (mom of a 5-year-old and 2-year-old) to discuss finding community in motherhood.

Erin shares her transition from social work to staying home after her first baby, her pregnancy experiences including gestational diabetes, and how church friendships and meal trains helped her build a mom tribe.

They cover ways to meet other moms like church groups, library story times, neighborhoods, playgrounds, and social media and offer practical tips like getting out of your comfort zone, treating groups like “dating” to find the right fit, and starting with one simple outreach text. Erin describes leading Mom Walk Co Celina and a garage-based “Strong Moms” workout group, emphasizing reciprocity, diverse friendships, and not overcomplicating community-building.
