Joyfully Raising Grands is a podcast for grandparents raising grandchildren with a focus on community, resource, and love. We hope to shine a light on the positive actions we can take every day to become our best selves, serve our grandchildren well and find joy every day.
We are always up to something and YOU can always find out what we are up to at Laura Leigh (lauraleighllc.com), on Instagram @lauraleighllc or Facebook at lauraleigh
Joyfully Raising Grands Grandfamily Nation opens on March 1st! This membership community is just getting started and I am holding a space for you and your grandfamily! The community is built in a private Facebook group for now where members can freely interact with me and each other on all topics related to raising grandchildren in a positive and caring way. Each month, there is a Guest Expert Meet Up held in a live interactive format where members can listen in, ask questions, and discuss these topics, AND there is a monthly Family Night which will also be a live gathering with a range of collaborative activities. The Family Night event is built as a way for grandfamilies to spend time together with other grandfamilies engaged in games, crafts, or other fun activities. Both the Expert Guest Meet Ups and the Family Nights are recorded and videos are available to members. The membership also gets what we call Joy Gems – short conversations with podcast guests that are only available to the membership.
The Joyfully Raising Grands Grandfamily Nation Membership Community is a place where grandfamilies can join hands and hearts to come together. We offer this community for the benefit of combined resources to increase joy, boost competence, raise confidence, and enhance family connections. Our community desires to decrease the stress, anxiety, and isolation sometimes involved in the huge responsibility of raising our precious grandchildren. I hope to see you there when the membership opens on March 1!
