I Was Told There’d Be a Village By Melissa Wirt AudioBook Summary
Pushing back against a system which feels designed to keep parents isolated and exhausted, Latched Mama founder Melissa Wirt shows moms how to build a supportive “village” to bring joy and connection back to motherhood.
Melissa Wirt thought she had everything—her own company and a beautiful family. But during a personal crisis, she realized: despite having created an online community reaching thousands of moms, she’d somehow, become utterly isolated. In I Was Told There’d Be a Village, Melissa describes how she began making small changes—leaving behind an Isolation Mindset and developing a Village Mindset.
Using personal anecdotes and stories from moms across the country, this book provides specific, actionable steps to transform oppressive, solitary parenting into a collective (and even joyful) endeavor.
