Five drivers to feeling ready and prepared as expectant parents
We followed the journey of almost 50 couples and arrived at five key drivers that need to exist for new parents to thrive. When these drivers are off-balance or missing, parents can feel overwhelmed and underprepared. At Empower Tribe our goal is to enable feelings of confidence and readiness – allowing parents to thrive, not just strive and survive.
Certainty: I feel clear
Autonomy: I feel in control
Competence: I feel capable and prepared
Purpose: I feel that my role matters
Belonging: I feel connected and supported
