When Support Isn’t There: Building Your Own Village
Manage episode 501186134 series 3661380
They say it takes a village to raise a child — but what happens when that village doesn’t exist? In this episode, I share my personal story of leaving my family and friends behind when I moved across the country as a single mom, and how I learned to create community from scratch. We’ll talk about the emotional roadblocks that keep us from reaching out, practical ways to build support (even if you’re introverted or anxious), and how reframing what ‘support’ looks like can lift the weight off your shoulders. You’ll also hear how building your own village teaches your kids powerful lessons about connection and resilience. By the end, you’ll walk away with hope, practical tools, and the reminder that you are never truly alone.
